What do you guys think of this one?

The Montbrillant will also be featured with the Caliber 01 in a limited production of 2,000 units in steel and 200 in red gold. It has an exhibition back and I hear it's slightly bigger at 40mm.

It looks like Breitling is coming out with a bunch of nice new models.

It's nice, but yeah, a bit small, and I'm the guy who complains all the time about big Breitlings. If I were going to go for an 01 LE in the Navi line, I'd stick with the original Navi. Although, if they ever bring out an LE Montbrillant Olympus with an in-house movement, I might change my tune.

This is a bit of a disappointment to me personally since I was hoping the new in-house Montbrillants would retain the smaller size, but I have to admit it does look great. The display back, in particular, is beautiful. The movement looks terrific; a really nice degree of finishing.

I'm sure they'll bring out an LE for the regular Navi in due time, but I wonder if all the new in-house Montbrilliants will be 40 rather than 38...

I loved it until I saw the size, such a shame!

Cheers
