So I saw on another forum a bit of news about a new Navitimer LE sporting the B01 calibre. The Monbrilliant will be a silver dialed, 40 mm cousin to the Navi 01. Was this posted yet and does anyone have any more information?

I personally like this one - what do you think?

It's been on Breitlings website for a few weeks now. Not a huge fan of the Montbrillant model.

I love this watch. I've been checking out the Breitling website almost daily under the limited models section but haven't seen it yet. Is is some where else?

It's been mentioned before but the photos you posted are pretty much the only ones I've seen. I can't wait to see one in person. That silver dial is beautiful.

I guess I haven't been looking hard enough -- there it is at the top of the breitling website.

I guess it's a good choice if you prefer the smaller 40mm size but I think the Navi 01 is nicer. I also like black dials better so maybe that's it.

I do like it more than the previous generation Montbrillant, and the size increase makes it more practical. I'm not completely convinced about those hands against that dial though.

They seem to be applying the blacksteel strategy to the 01 movement. Will we see an avenger 01 next?

Agreed Roff, and it might be a bit problematic in certain light conditions

I like the look, but I don't like the size. I think the silver dial looks great, so I can't wait to see the non-LE Navi 01 (assuming they make a silver dial version). This Monty also appears to have no lume on it all - which seems a little odd for a Navi.

I love it, it's the right size for my very skinny wrists. But I'm also a bit concerned about legibility, and ... well ... the price. I suppose it will be around US$8000, or maybe even more (on leather strap with deployant).

The msrp for the navi 01 on calf with deployant is $7735.00. I was assuming this would be less. Does anyone know?

Yeah, I noticed it had no lume also. That stinks. I guess you guys might be right -- legibility might be tough on this one -- i'm possible at night.
