Hello bfriends! For a long time now.. I have loved. . And I mean loved the navitimer line. Namely, the 01 and the in house.. and the world. Both are incredible. . But at the same time they are both missing something from the other.. maybe in my young and immature age I've grown to prefer the larger bigface watches .. thus I lean towards the world. But when I look and the navitimer 01, i feel it has a nicer dial with the popping white subs @ 3, 6 & 9. My question is... will they ever make the 01 with thay gorgous dial in bigger case (bigger than 42) or is the World put in place to facilitate this need for a bigger version. If breitling offers the world with that epic dial... I may be in some serious trouble. Actually, my wallet will be.

What do you think friends?

An in-house 46mm Navi World is something I've been long waiting for - I may have mentioned it once or twice here. :wink:

To be honest I'd like to think it would only be a matter of time before Breitling drop the B04 GMT movement into a Navi World case to make the World in-house, but who knows.......

Given the popularity of the Navi World, it would make absolute sense to me for them to do it, but Breitling seem more concerned about DLC-ing everything in sight at the moment instead of expanding the B04 into the Navi line. My fingers are aching from keeping them crossed for so long!

Is the b04 what they use in the unitime? I love the navitimer it is a gorgeous watch, and love my blue dial world!!! It would be nice for Breitling to make a inhouse world, because that's what I'm waiting for now. For me it would awesome if they made one in white gold. I want to add a navitimer 01, but I will not because it is to small, and I like bigger watches. A white gold navitimer world with inhouse movement is on my wish list!!!

When I went to Breitling earlier in 2012, the saleslady told me all Breitling will eventually be inhouse movements.

Given that they have publicly stated that they have no plans to expand capacity beyond 50,000 movements a year, representing not much more than 25% of watch production, that would be difficult.

Unitime has the B05 - full world timer.

A 46mm DLC Navi World perhaps :-)
