Chronomat & Navitimer

Hello ..

I would like to know your opinion and thoughts on those 2 models Chornomat & Navitimer by Breitling with new B01 in-house movement.

I know they are different, yet would like to know which one do you own and/or prefer?

Have Good week everyone

The Navi is a classic. The Chronomat, sadly, used to be.

Navitimer all day long.

One of the most iconic watches there is, I need to add one to my collection someday.

I would love to get a Navitimer 01 sometime in the near future.
As for the Chronmate 01, the new styling is just not my cup of tea.
If only they put the 01 Movement in the Blackbird Big Date which I already have.

I have an older Chronomat, but have always loved the look of the Navitimer, which is why I cast my vote for the Navi, which will be the next Breitling I acquire........great look, and whatever you chose, I hope you have years of enjoyment wearing it!!

Navitimer is what me got into Breitling. It's a cool, sophisticated look design.

Both!

But if I had to choose one, it would have to be the Navitimer.

I'd take the Navitimer for sure. It has great presence and feels good on the wrist (I'm referring to a Navitimer with a leather strap...not a big fan of the Navitimer on a bracelet). The Chronomat is nice but is very heavy and looks too large on my wrist (which is relatively large to begin with).
