Hello All,
As this is my first Breitling with a rotating slide rule..... my quesiton is simple.... BY DEFAULT - where should I leave the bezel when wearing?

What position should I assume for normal wear?

where you last leave it after using it!
that way it looks like something you use, not just wear to impress.

The zero setting for the Navitimer bezel is with the 10s on the two dials aligned.

For all the banter we give people about aligned bezels, there really is no position that you SHOULD leave it. :) It's your watch, so you can do whatever you like with it. My own personal "OCD gene" plays up when I see non-aligned bezels, but hey, that's just me! :wink:

But if it bothers you, Roff is quite correct when he says, "The zero setting for the Navitimer bezel is with the 10s on the two dials aligned".

COSC Spec - 0 Degrees - 0 Minutes - +6/-4 Seconds - that's pretty close!
