Montbrillant 01 pricing and Navitimer bracelet questions

Fiery · **Posted:** Sat May 21, 2011 10:47 am

I purchased a Navi bracelet last year for the Chrono-Matic 44mm watch I bought on a leather strap. It was around EUR1100 incl. taxes, and while it was a beautiful and high quality bracelet, I couldn't get used to it. The Navi bracelet is simply not suitable for skinny wrists, since it has a very long clasp. So I recommend you to only buy one if you have at least a 7 inch wrist.

Interesting point. I hadn't thought about that. My wrists are 6.5 however, my proII bracelet fits fine though. Wouldn't it be comparable with the Navi bracelet and fit in a similar fashion?

I also have a Pro II bracelet, and had a Fighter bracelet as well. They're both very comfortable. But the Navi bracelet has a clasp that's over 50mm's long! Make sure to try one on, because at 6.5 inch your wrists are comparable to mine, so there's a chance you would find the Navi bracelet just as uncomfortable as I did

BTW, the Navi bracelet is very different than any other bracelets from Breitling. It's much lighter, since the links are thinner than the Pro II or Fighter or Pilot bracelet links. The clasp is also different.

Thanks for the info Fiery. Much appreciated and very timely as well. I will ensure 100% that I try one on before pulling the trigger.

Hi Alex, was wondering if you did get managed to try the Navy bracelet. Any feedback ?

I haven't had the chance to try one on yet. The reason I am a bit hesitant is because I would have to ask my AD to size one for me and that involves a lot of work for them. I am not sure if they'll agree to go through all that trouble for me just to try it on and then make up my mind. However, I haven't asked yet. Sharkman did get the new 2011 Navi 01 on the ss bracelet and I believe his wrist size is comparable to yours and mine. Perhaps, he can shed some more insight and here's the link to a few pics he posted.
