Pretty Cool. I would prefer a transparent caseback though, since the WR would be weak anyway so it doesn't matter whether they slap a steel or sapphire caseback. |

I was just about to post this one up myself! Now THIS one I really like. I think the gold chrono hand and the gold font on the date wheel are really nice vintage looking touches. I know a lot of people won't like the size, but IME the Navi wears a little smaller than it's dimensions would otherwise indicate, plus pilot watches have often been pretty large over the years anyway. The lack of a display back doesn't bother me at all, and having them all travel the world is a nice touch too. That said, I'd still love to see a B01-powered Navi without a date window (and especially a 4:30 one at that) as I just think it'd clean the look up a little more, but it's a minor point. Personally I think this is the nicest looking in-house Navi yet produced!

Yeah I like this one too. Can't help thinking we need to seem some variety on the same dial layout for everyone - it's getting on for 8 years since we were told the in house movement had been designed to support 3 6 9 and 6 9 12 (which would allow a date at three), so let's start seeing some. That said, little not to like about this one. |

Yeah, the 46mm still may be a bit big. I got exited when I first saw this assuming it was 43mm. It made me go back and look at the 46mm specs again. I will need to get to AD and measure lug length on the 46 I guess, anyone here know it offhand? |

Nice looking version, and the "round the world" aspect in conjunction with the case back is a nice touch. |

Breitling DC-3 arrived in Zagreb yesterday. Unfortunately, due to security concerns of airport operator (  ), no airplane walkaround or presentation could be arranged.So we met at AD in the center of the town, mingled a bit with pilots, try every Breitling they had in the place on our wrists  and drank some champagne and wine and got some goodies to take home, of course.One of the pilots made a presentation about DC-3 world around trip and logistic problems of flying it with 77 years old aircraft (maiden flight was on March 9th 1940). We also got a chance to try the DC-3 special edition Navitimer on our wrists. It was a very great night, well organized with our favorite watch brand and many friends that came to have fun together. I don't have many pictures but I took some with my smartphone so I'll post them in following posts with TP. Have a nice weekend, Breitling friends

Wow, big thank you for taking the time to share some great photographs of the day, looks like a good time was had by all. It's just a pity that this flight won't be visiting the U.K. as I would have loved to have seen the 'old girl' in the sky & on the tarmac. |
