Navitimer 42-43 mm case lug to lug

[IR201]

Hi I'm interested in a Navitimer around the 42-43mm range but want one with relatively shorter lug to lug. I understand Breitling has tinkered with the lug to lug over the years and have no idea L2L differences among various same size case (42/43) options over the years. Anyone that can help?

Going down to 41.5 will widen your search. You'll as well need to consider the preloved market as sizes are becoming really big. I have a 38 Navi Airborne and a recent Navi 1884 with 46 size. I noticed that the size of the center dial is more or less the same (the place where the hands are in). Only the 38 Navi Airborne gets much wrist time.

Ask any dealer to give you more measurements before pulling the trigger online.
