The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi guys

I believe the diameter is going to be 43mm

I have to say I cannot comment about how the bracelet feels, as I've yet to try one on. But I do like the styling. I think its different to anything else I've seen for ages!

So I'll save my opinion until I have a considered one to offer!!

I also understand that we will be waiting for a while before the B01 movement is put into another case/design. As much as 2 years in fact.

Will be interesting to see next years Basel offerings to see if this is true?

Take care

Hmmmm, 43mm is still a little too small for me when it comes to Navis. The case design is so fine that I really think they benefit from a few extra mm's. The Navi World is still the perfect size for a Navi IMHO.

Interesting on the B01 front Davey. If that's true, my cash will be going elsewhere for a while.

I heard something similar on timing - I was told not to be surprised if there was no B01 at Basel 2010 - though the obvious question of why wasn't answered.

I'm not sure what the implications are for ebauches use unless there is some kind of Sellita / in house clone process going on (or unless Swatch Group delays further).

The 43mm is probably a reasonable compromise for Breitling - recognising that 41mm may be a little small for many modern buyers while still staying reasonably true to the traditional roots and balancing the range.
