Newbie here! Basically my first real watch (smartwatches don't count right?). I swear this navitimer get's NO love from anyone, it's sad...I think Breitling did great doing a chrono-less navitimer...it still has the navitimer look and spirit IMO, having the sliderule and the general design. At half the cost of the regular navitimer, it's a great first buy IMO. Also, unpopular opinion: I dislike chronographs - big hands should tell time IMO. If Breitling released a navitimer with a chronograph where the subdials did all the chronograph functions and the central pivot seconds hand was for time of day then maybe. [Also, good lord the servicing prices on a B01 is almost double
]Anyways, LOVING the watch so far...i spent the first 5 minutes just ooh-ing at the dial, the blue and the silver, and the AR on the glass is so well done, it's almost mesmerizing in certain lights. It's been almost a week now actually and so far +/- 1s per day accuracy too! I genuinely use the slide rule as well actually, living in canada we tend to use a mess of imperial and metric and it's nice - i wish the had the conversions on the scale like some other watches do BUT, none of the other ones i've seen (casio, hamilton, victorinox) are near as well designed as Breitling whose slide rule was clearly designed to be USED (the others have a weird parallax issue as they put the scales on either side of the glass and on different heights) rather than just as a fancy remnant.
