Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 46 -
Blue Dial (Ref. AB0127)1
$6995.00$6295.00
This reference is the "Big Brother" of the Navitimer family. While the previous 43mm model is the standard modern size, this 46mm version (Ref. AB0127) is designed for those who prefer a more commanding wrist presence and maximum legibility of the complex slide-rule scales.2 It features a stunning "Aurora Blue" dial with contrasting silver sub-dials—a classic "Panda" configuration that honors the model's aviation heritage.3
This pre-owned model is in Excellent condition and typically includes its original Box and Papers.4

Why This Model Stands Out
Maximum Scale Readability: The primary purpose of the Navitimer’s 46mm size isn't just fashion; it’s function. The larger diameter provides more surface area for the logarithmic slide rule, making it significantly easier to perform calculations like fuel consumption or distance conversion.
Exhibition Caseback: Like its smaller siblings, this model features a sapphire crystal caseback, allowing you to admire the B01 movement, which is widely regarded as one of the best mass-produced chronograph movements in the world.5
Presence: On a blue alligator strap, this watch is a statement piece.6 It manages to feel like a high-end luxury item while maintaining its identity as a rugged "navigation computer."
