I used to think the Motors had the largest sapphire crystal of any Breitling, it looked massive... until I got the Navi world yesterday. The crystal on this one is even bigger!! At 42.5mm the crystal is larger than many watches!!

Any larger ones out there??

The Chrono matic 49 is rather large also.


the SOH is around 42mm maybe more.

The SOH can't be bigger as it is 46mm total and has a bezel which is about least 4mm wide, leaving only 38mm - 40mm for the crystal.. Maybe the Chronomatic 49, but it too has a bezel so could be close.

Montbrillant Legende perhaps? It's 1mm bigger than the Navi World and the bezel is quite thin.

yes, valid point.

I tried on Both and the SOH bezel is quite substantial.

I also tried on the 49 and its crystal is around 45-46mm
