The BLS Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 46 is a modern interpretation of one of the most recognizable pilot's watches ever produced. Originally designed for aviation professionals, the Navitimer became famous for its distinctive slide-rule bezel and highly functional chronograph layout. Decades later, it remains one of the most respected aviation chronographs in the world.
Crafted from stainless steel with a commanding 46mm case size, the watch offers substantial wrist presence while maintaining the classic proportions that have defined the Navitimer collection for generations. The polished case, intricate bezel design, and detailed dial construction create a sophisticated and unmistakably aviation-inspired appearance.
The centerpiece of this configuration is its stunning blue sunburst dial. Under different lighting conditions, the dial transitions between deep navy tones and vibrant metallic blue hues, creating remarkable depth and visual character. Contrasting silver chronograph registers enhance readability while preserving the balanced layout that has made the Navitimer such an enduring design.
Surrounding the dial is the iconic circular slide-rule bezel, one of the defining features of the Navitimer. This distinctive element gives the watch its unmistakable identity and reinforces its strong connection to aviation history.
Powering the watch is the A7750 Automatic Chronograph Movement, a proven and widely respected chronograph platform known for its reliability, functionality, and smooth chronograph operation. The movement provides full chronograph functionality while delivering dependable everyday performance.
The brown leather strap perfectly complements the blue dial, creating a classic aviation-inspired aesthetic that balances sportiness with sophistication. The combination of blue and brown remains one of the most attractive and versatile configurations available in the Navitimer lineup.
BLS is highly regarded for its case finishing, dial execution, crystal quality, and overall attention to detail. Every component has been carefully refined to recreate the character and presence of this legendary aviation chronograph.
