Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 American Airlines Limited Edition
Limited to only 100 pieces, 75 pieces of the model are offered for sale with the brown calf strap and the remaining 25 pieces with the stainless steel mesh bracelet. The price information for the model, which is only offered for sale within the borders of the USA, is as follows; MSRP: USD $8,650 with a leather strap.
The 43mm stainless steel case of the Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 American Airlines Limited Edition follows the classic Navitimer formula, with piston pushers, tapering chamfered lugs, and the line’s signature coin edge slide rule bezel. Like most Navitimer designs, this is likely to wear large on the wrist, with the sapphire crystal covering the bezel scale for a nearly all-dial appearance when viewed from above. The fully polished finish reinforces the vintage feel at play here, but the watch moves away from its ’70s visual themes with its case back. Breitling equips this Navitimer with a sapphire display window decorated with a variant of American Airlines’ classic eagle logo, but this element takes the watch in an interesting stylistic direction. While the rest of the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 American Airlines Limited Edition heavily hints at the bright and bold visual cues of the late ‘60s and ‘70s, American Airlines only used this style of the emblem from 1945 to 1962, and the eagle itself has not faced to the left since the original stamp introduced in 1931. This slightly anachronistic altered logo design may prove divisive among aviation enthusiasts, but its size and execution add a visual punch to the overall package. Like the rest of the Navitimer line, however, water resistance remains a weak point for this model, with a rating of only 30 meters.
