I am but a grasshopper. Thanks for that info, Fred.

Definitely no slide rule. New logo. Maybe internal timing bezel that rotates in the same mode as Navitimer slide rule bezel (with crystal).

Reverse panda B01 chronograph. Date at 4.5 position. Numerals, not batons.

Brushed Navitimer case. Blue and black version.

One third of Chrono seconds hand lumed -- nice.

Yeah, bummer, finally getting lumed arabics back but now no slide rule bezel. If the rotating timing bezel is friction based, no thanks.

Now that I have seen the latest blue dial photo, it appears that the rotating bezel will only feature the single triangular marker (as seen in Fred's photo), rather than anything more complex.

And there are men (like me) with chronograph sweet spots at 40-41 mm... - my two modern more or less suit-compatible Breitlings are the two color versions of the Grand Premier, both at 40 mm. I'd be happy to see a 40 mm "Navitimer Datora" in 40 mm (case like Montbillant B01) with a Valjoux 72C /7751 calendar module, without moonphase, like on the Montbrillant Datora. Steel case, lume on hands and dial, 100 m WR, blue dial and I'm done.
Same for the Chronomat 41...
Best,
Robert

Somewhat disappointed in the final product, was expecting more of the "Navitimer" DNA, I think that they should have come up with a new name and not piggybacked on the Navitimer's heritage!

More information:
The first baby is here. Finally! A new classic Breitling Pilots watch, the Navitimer 8 with our amazing in house B01 Chronograph movement.
Of course Chronometer certified. 43mm of diameter.
Absolutely beautiful elegant-sports mat and polished finishing with the typical Breitling “Panda” dial look.
70 hours power reserve, water resistant to 100m (330ft) and 5 years of guarantee.
SFR 7’100.- and available in May-June.
Many more executions in A (41mm), Day Date, Unitime, etc.
Thank you to the whole team in Grenchen for the amazing work.

Yeah, me too. Obviously no slide rule, but the bezel markers don't seem to have a primary index to tell it apart from the rest, or just can't tell from pic? The plain seconds sub-dial with no numerals seems to look odd also.
It might grow on me, we'll see.

Maybe they will have some other Navitimer iterations off the normal B01 lineup, wait until Basel I guess.
