I like my batons better, but I know some strongly prefer arabics. Also, I hate the gold wings; I much prefer the white gold wings on the LE Navi. Now if Breitling would just come out with a white dial Navi 01, I think everyone would be happy. |

Very cool! I prefer the batons, but this is nice. Interestingly they've decided to use smaller numbers, instead of cutting off the 10/8/7/5/4/2. Either that or the extra couple of mm's on the case frees up some space. |

I prefer the batons too, but this looks good! |

I like both, but if I had to choose I'd also go with the batons. I'm just surprised there's not more love for this as quite a few people have been going on about wanting arabics. Guess those people haven't seen it yet..... However I can safely say I much prefer the non-LE to the LE version. The gold wings is more like the old painted gold wings on the out-going Navi which I really like, but it's the black date wheel that really seals it. The only thing that would be nice is a DB, but the dial more than compensates IMO. |

I prefer the batons as well, I'm not sure about this. I like the smaller font as Ian says, but the numbers just look 'odd' - not sure what it is, but they don't look quite right to me. |

I like it. I'm not sure which one I like better. If the LE had a black date, it'd be perfect. |

I wonder why the date is always at an angle? Am I the only one that doesn't like the angled date? R/ |

Guess those people haven't seen it yet..... I definitely like the arabics over batons. Gives it much more of a tool/instrument look dating back to Breitling's roots. |

I love the non "cut-off" Arabics. Matches all the Cossies perfectly. I also like the aesthetic balance of the 6,9,12 subdial configuration (opposite the crown and chrono pushers) vice the more popular and classic "tri-compax" on the caliber 23 and B01 Navi's. Below is my all time favorite Navitimer...  Best, Ron

The arabic numbers option is a good addition to the Navitimer 01. However, they should also have an option to have the silver or gold applied Breitling logo and a sapphire case back. The latter being a sad omission in my opinion. |
