Have an opportunity to pickup a Navitimer 01 limited in the tobacco town dial.

Thoughts on wearability, readability etc. . .

I know it is a Navitimer so by their very definition they are busy and this is 46mm which is normally outside my size range, I found this easily wearable and easy to read the time.

Love the overall look and have always wanted to add a Navitimer to my collection.

Thoughts, thanks.

Here's mine. It's among my favorites:

I really like the Navitimer but would not go for this particular LE. Much prefer the standard one. Just my 2c. Being the tool it is the large size is fitting.

Beautiful watch.
If the color combo sings to you, go for it.
I prefer the blue dial or the traditional black panda but beautiful nevertheless.

It's beautiful congratulations

I like the tobacco limited too. If you love it, buy it. :)

Thanks for the encouraging words, I love the look for sure.

Not my favorite based on the size. I would look elsewhere.

It is large, much larger than I would normally wear but it was comfortable. I will also consider the 43mm though not as a limited edition.

Breitlings should be bought large. That is what makes their mystique to me. Can't treat them as a Rolex.
My first was a 43mm Navitimer, then added a 44mm Chronomat, now dreaming of adding a 46mm Heritage II Ceramic, blue bezel, white dial, SS.
With Breitling, go big or go home.

With a 6.5 wrist, I went with the 43mm 01. Now regret not getting a 46.

Interesting thanks, my wrist is 6 5/8 and the 46 was ok on me. Expected it to be too big

Had a chance to see this "brown-eyed black" limited edition when I was at the Breitling boutique in Vegas recently. It is a beautiful black and tan combo, and very unique.

As to the 46mm size, well, you alone can be the judge as to how that works for you. If it wears easily for you, and you like the readability, I think it would be a great pick-up!

Thanks, made a final run through. The heart wants it and the head knows it is too big.

It sings to me and I want it but I am going to pass.

Thanks for the thoughts.
