Love my recently acquired Navi 01 LE (thx again, Roger).

Most/all of us have seen it on the bracelet, black calf or black croc so I have omitted those, but imho it looks very nice in other combinations, even the surprising green croc.

Let me know what you like best, please ?

Brown calf followed by a very close Gold croc for second. Honorable mention to the Green just because I am surprised at how it works.

Gold croco for me and the dark brown calf is nice too. Once again, congrats Fred on the new addition.

Tan calf. It gives the watch a "vintage" look. That, or a brown croc, is what I was going to buy when I owned the Navi 01.

I agree. I would put it at #3 after gold and brown.

thank you all for your feedback, the 01 LE looks great on all options;
hard to decide, but the green was the most pleasant surprise.

currently it is on the tan calf Breitling Tradema, one that got no votes, but gives the watch a
beautiful vintage look, maybe I´ll post a sunlight pic of that one.

Surprisingly least attractive for me are the black versions; in a way they seem
to "drown" the dial, but that is very subjective, of course.
