very cool edition...

One of my favourite aircraft of all time!

It's okay for me although I'm not a fan of the blue. In an attempt to put a finger on my ho hum reaction, there's nothing wrong with it but it doesn't scream awesome either. It is better than a lot of what Breitling have put out recently.

+1 Sharkie.

It's also one of only two airworthy Connies left. It was rolled out again yesterday in Germany after a major overhaul because of corrosion found at the root of the wings.

I disagree with you, I found the dial pretty cool. It's a Constellation LE after all.

As for the B, it's a reference to the Connie era.

I understand that it's a LE, but the Navi dial is already busy enough without cramming more on it IMO. It might be a tribute to an aircraft, but i still don't like the watch...has nothing to do with the aircraft. The BB red strike still carries the name of the Blackbird, but I still hate that version of the watch.

cmon serge tell us how you really feel.... i know youre just being nice...lol

He's not at liberty to do so, right Sergio?

I need it, its great! But only two thing i dont like - small hands are blue, i prefer the same color to chronograph hands, but there is central chrono second hand silver, and the sign Super constellation can be smaller, but i like it a lot!

Good grief, rather than using up the supplies they had to produce stanard Navis people still would love to get, they use them for an LE and just destroy the classic existing look. Darn it Breitling, cut it out!

Ditto. I think the watch is OK, although I don't like it as well as a standard Navi. I guess I don't really get why they're putting it out. After the 01 LE, and with the introduction of the standard Navi 01, the Constellation seems both anti-climactic and pointless. It makes more sense for Breitling to fill those backorders on old Navis. I suppose the flip side is maybe this is one last hurrah for standard Navi fans to get an unusual one before the 01s take over completely.

I personally think this is one of the nicest Navitimers in the last couple of years, if I was in the market for another Navi, I wouldn't hesitate in buying one at the drop of a hat!

Perfectly agree with you Stef. And my AD quoted a price of $ 5800 on croco. Not bad IMO. No delivery dates as yet though.

I don't have any particularly strong feelings about it either way to be honest. I certainly don't hate the look and I like the blue subdial hands - very retro - but ultimately it's just another tiny Navi, so I don't love it either. If it was a 43mm B01 powered piece, then it'd be more interesting.
