replica Breitling Navitimer 01 46mm Watch review

by Abigai LBeverly pretty watch
Now,let's introduce another watch,replica Breitling Navitimer 01 46mm Watch is similar to it,about Breitling Navitimer 806 1959 Reedition,to get into specifics, the Breitling Navitimer 806 1959 Reedition keeps a 40mm stainless case (that’s consistent with the vintage models) and 22mm lug width.  It comes in at 12.86mm thick (same as the original) and is water resistant to 30M.  It has the exact number of bezel beads on its bezel – 94 – as the 1959 model and they’re the correct size.  This is significant, as Breitling changed the number of beads over time.  The bezel height to mid-case ratio is different, however, as the new B09 movement is thicker than the original Venus 178.  Therefore, the new bezel is shallower when viewed from the side, but it doesn’t contribute to an overall thickness difference.

Inside the Breitling Navitimer 806 1959 Reedition, we have the first application of an all new B01 variant and it has been named as the B09.  It’s a 39-jewel manual winding, chronometer certified movement that powers the 12 hour chronograph.  It also has a power reserve of 70 hours.  The B09 is an integrated chronograph movement and features a vertical clutch with a column wheel. I’ve seen pictures and while it isn’t as “skeletally” beautiful as the older movements due to large plates, it’s beautifully finished.  If you think about Breitling’s voluminous back catalog that used the Venus 178, the advent of the new B09 tells me that they could literally reissue vintage designs with this movement inside for the next 30 years!  Let’s hope and bravo to the brand for putting in the work and resisting what must have been the very tempting opportunity to use the B01 in automatic form

There’s no getting around the fact that Navitimers contain dials with loads of information on them.  Some people love the geeky technical look, while others don’t.  For me, I find a Navi to be wonderfully busy and filled with purposeful intent – even if I was born a generation too late for the slide rule.  Like it or not, you can imagine that getting all of the fonts and positioning correct on the new dial was a real chore.  And you’d be right!  The dials went through a lot of prototyping before Fred felt things were perfect.  I even happened to see some loose dials before all was sorted and they looked great to me – but not to Fred.  As an example, the development team literally got into discussions about realigning slide rule numbers and lengthening tick marks by hundredths of a millimeter!  Then, the hand-applied lume numerals needed to be perfectly weighted and this was eventually accomplished.

If you’re a Navitimer fan, you’ll note that there were several dial variants at any given time during most of the Navi’s production run.  Mine shows a “script B”, some had wings with the “AOPA” inside, and some just had an applied gold set of wings.  On the reedition, we have the Breitling script and the gold wings above the center.  “Navitimer” is just above the 6:00 sub register.  Oh, and just like the original, the real gold wings are applied to the dial, but they’ve been laser cut out of foil in 2019.  And then there are those details like the pesky lume-filled syringe hands, the unique sub register hands, and the counterbalance on the chronograph hand.  All of these little things were carefully designed to remain as faithful as possible to the original.
