Had a meeting with my rep this week and asked him if he had already some info about Basel. And guess what; he did! Apparently, these are the new models: 1. Colt Automatic (ETA movement) 2. Colt 38 SQ for ladies 3. Navitimer GMT. The Navi World will continue but there will be a Navi with a second timezone available with in-house caliber next to the World. Can't wait to see them. |

I heard some rumblings about a design change on the Colt because the current design was received so poorly so that might explain new models there - automatic is a good move in that range. Good to see an in house Navitimer World equivalent at last, interesting to see how the two versions will coexist though. |

Interesting, thanks for info. Maybe the old Navi. world will eventually be phased out after inventory is sold (?), unless new model is quite different in look, then could possibly have both. New Colt auto. should be interesting also, and maybe even cost friendly,  .

They say they will have more models this year in the "more affordable" price range because the last few years prices went up quite high and Breitling lost some clients because of that. And now, they want those people back! Navi GMT won't be so affordable I guess... Navi World will indeed be phased out but it's gonna take a few more years for that to happen apparently. |

I'd love to see the Chronomat 41 with either a day-date feature or a simple full calender like that of the Valjoux 72C and Valjoux 7751 (same "small complication" would look wonderfulon the Montbrillant B01 too...), and the Chrono Superocean with day-date version of the Valjoux 7750. |

Can't wait  x10But if they plan to keep the current Navi World in parallel with the an in-house GMT Navi, then I bet the additional differentiator will be the size. I'll be annoyed if it is smaller as I personally find all Navis except the World a little too small for my tastes. The 46mm World is perfect size-wise : I've just been holding out for an in-house version. I think I'm about to be disappointed.............again. |

GreAt!!! I am just about to pull the trigger on a navi 01 le white face. I also want a in house world, and am going to have a hard time selling that to the other half that I need a second near five figure watch this year...lol I hope they don't add those huge Lume sticks like they did in the new avenger line. I will be able to deal if it is slightly smaller, but 45mm small nothing less. |
