I love it. Its the re-birth of Breitling. My choice in this collection Navitimer (Aviator) 8: 3 hands, no day, blue dial with brown leather strap. Timeless classic pilot watch, minimalistic, less is more. Cheerzz
BP It’s good to read that the new BREITLING collections make their way. It will still take some time until a greater public will accept the new ones as you do... Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Alexander. Not only the new collection, the whole new direction of the brand is appealing me. Sporty, gentle, future oriented but embracing its history and roots. @@WatchAdvisor
Breitling is largely responsible for drawing me into my love for watches. However as the years went by, I found myself more and more disconnected with the brand. My fault, not theirs. The new Navi 8 43 B01 has re-lit my flame for Breitling. I've never in all my life been so in love with a watch. I'm currently saving for one.
Cheers for an entertaining and informative presentation. I must admit, it is difficult seeing a Navitimer sans slide rule. But I do appreciate the simplicity of the Navitimer 8. The exhibition case back is most welcome. And for my money, Breitling bracelets are aces.
With these watches Breitling entered in a new league. Elegance and style are now more driving forces. In terms of quality nothing has changed. Breitling watches were always and are flawless... Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!
Jean-Marc Brechbühler A good way of preventing your kids and/or friends from doing stupid things, eg taking drugs, is to early inspire them to become watch collectors or oldtimer drivers...
Breitling super avanger2 48mm & 50mm(breitlite) both. Then navitimer GMT 48mm.lastly superocean titanium 48mm. Few weeks ago I have bought breitling super avanger2 48mm , amazing watch.Breitling has a presence on your wrist. I am a watch collector my self
@@shamoonvahidy623 What a nice choice of Breitling watches! Do you have any experience with Breitlight already? Ultralight material and comfortable to wear...
Thanks for the compliment.I have looked in detail ,breitlite watches ,it feels like b/w plastic & metal.Unfortunately I dont own one. It is high carbon metal actually,true its very lite yet feels strong.Bretling is not scared of new bold ideas and experiments again unlike omega & rolex etc.To my knowledge they are beside Rado other swiss brand having experimented with materials
Thanks for the video, very interesting. I actually like the Navitimer 8 series quite a lot. But I was never a Breitling fanboy. I think for those it is hard to swallow, that Bretitling watches can also be aesthetic. ;-)
Frank H. Frank, I like the phrase “for those it is hard to swallow”. And yes this is what some comments here definitely underline. It will take time and it will work out. Good design always survives, bad disappears...
Bravo! I can tell you truly enjoy your craft, you are incredibly professional. I love the look and feel of your boutique, it’s comfortable yet refined. I’m now going to look into the 8 with blue dial and a blue leather band with white stitches.
Thanks for the video - it's also interesting to read the comments and peoples opinion on the Navitimer 8. The Navitimer 8 in black is the first Breitling that has appealed to me - I've always found them a little too flashy or chunky. Like my vintage Omega Speedmaster, the Navitimer 8 is a little more subtle which I prefer.
Charlie Cripwell Charlie, thank you for the feedback. Not only the Navitimer 8 looks good, also the three watches of the new Capsule collection and the Navitimer replica presented during BASELWORLD. Did you see the already?
It is great to see a watch expert explain their knowledge and passion for a product. Even a cave man like me understands it. Plus I have had many questions answered. :-)
I am happy to read this and I doubt you are really a "cave man" when it comes to knowledge of watches... Please let me know if you have any other questions...
@@WatchAdvisor Hi Alexander, thank you for your warm welcome. My name is Leslie, in typical AUSTRALIAN fashion I am called Les. I am a bit of "cave man" concerning watches.

I love Iwc, but the pricing over in schaffhausen is way off for entry level pieces. Breitling, a brand that previously didn’t catch my interest, has my attention with the Navi 8 series. Premier Series not so much. But I suspect you have to see them live.
John VS Bear I do recommend you to see them live and try them on your wrist. All watches look different there. Where do you live? Do you have a Breitling AD near you? Let us know what you experienced
@@WatchAdvisor WatchAdvisor Team, I live close to vienna... i will go to the AD soon! Greetings to Alexander Linz, there is a great BBC Documentary about the color blue, he will enjoy it for sure.
I really like the new direction Breitling is going, but they are pricing themselves not competitively against IWC, which is generally seen as a slightly better brand. My only concern is that Breitling has also caught the re-issue bug, possibly caught it from Omega. Re-issues water down the brand and is near-sighted. If these watches are being sold around the $4,000 USD, then they would be competitive. Sir, could you do a video on the prices of watches in today's market? Have the prices come down or are they going up? Could you cover this topic in sections (watches below $5,000, watches between $5,000-$10,000, and watches over $10,000)? It seemed the trend was watch prices were coming back down after 2016... but this year they seem to be going back up.
Very interesting subtle poshness design. Perfect one watch collection timepieces. Not sure which I would prefer for myself this Navytimer 8 collection or Premier which I love a lot. I can easily see powerful presidents wear these watches someone like mr. V. Putin who is a big watch man, he already has and always wears very similar philosophy wristwatches IWC pilot and Blancpain aquanaut grande date.
Interesting read! The link to Putin should not be dismissed since he is into a certain type of wristwatch. Most of the time I see him wearing a Blancpain... I can imagine he also likes these new Breitling watches...
For these type of men Breitling heritage and philosophy is definitely a relevant topic ... I know another man from top echelon government mafia who in fact used to wear Breitling, don't remember which model, and he was a pilot in the past... The most effective marketing and advertising is by exploiting real life self made men as ambassadors of the brand... and I almost vomite from those miserable advertising campaigns with fake movie "heroes" like James Bond etc..:):) So, I have just given you a rough idea and please pass it to Breitling team. Should Breitling team needs my expertise in some areas of marketing I will be glad to help the brand, because I believe Breitling is really worth even more than it's at the moment. Now it's a perfect time to move forward! In general, I sense a little analogue wristwatch renaissance again!... while Rolex has already got stuck! Rolex bubble already has some cracks and "Rolex concept" is already facing the wall, if you know what I mean...
Bike Freak Yes, Breitling stepped out of its 20% niche... Now the brand offers watches for 100 % ... of course not everyone will like every watch, but many more will find their watch...
Rick J They are using both, their in-house chronograph calibre B01 - counters 9 / 6 / 3 -, automatic calibres delivered by Tudor, ETA and Sellita calibres. In some chronographs - counters @ 12 / 9 / 6 - you will therefore also find Sellita SW500 ...
There are 42 and 36 mm divers... click on the links to see some examples... www.breitling.com/at-en/watches/superocean/42/A17366D81C1A1/ www.breitling.com/at-en/watches/superocean/42/A17366D81A1A1/ www.breitling.com/at-en/watches/superocean/42/A17366021B1S1/
You are correct What a beutiful watch coming from Breitling. The new Premier collecrion are really Nice. Daydate are priced good but i Think the ekstra Price for the inhouse movement with the chrono....are way too Big a jump....otherwize Nice thar Breitling are moving away from the old Course
The 2000 CHF extra for the in-house calibre are not to be discussed... For those who want to wear the chronograph with a B01 will probably go for it. Many others will be comfortable with either a Valjoux 7750 or Sellita SW 500, both certified by COSC as an official Swiss chronometer
For me those are some of the dullest and flawed designs Breitling has ever made. The Navitimer is a tool watch, what's the point of a rotating bezel with a tiny triangle you can barely see when you have a chronograph? Having an entire rotating bezel for putting just one small marking on it is just dumb in my opinion. I don't see a reason anybody would prefer this over a Navitimer 01 or an A23322.
Seems like the GMT function has been poorly executed. Does it mean that I have to search for the country on the dial every time I want to know the time there? It’s better to have the desired country positioned at 12 o’clock then read the time off the hour hand.
I like them but I don’t love them....They seem rather dull to me unfortunately. I’m a huge fan of the brand so I’m not giving up on them. I hate the case back on these. Breitling always had the best case backs IMO They also need to be smaller still.
therustyspoke It’s at least a good start for your new relationship with Breitling... It will take time for all of us but I am convinced the new direction they are going is worth waiting ...
WatchAdvisor I can hear the rotor spinning, which is logical I think. But I hear after every rotation (idk for sure could be two or more rotations) a click. The click is a short high pitch one.
This is the "noise" of the protection of the mainspring in the barrel house. In order to ensure that the mainspring is not overstressed it is fitted with a sliding bridle which acts like a safety valve: when the mainspring is fully wound the sliding bridle shifts slightly within the barrel drum...
WatchAdvisor so in the morning I shouldn’t hear the “click” when moving my wrist? If I still hear it, could it be something is broken or loose inside the movement? Thanks for your support.
Kai Zen I apologize! In the next videos I will ad more technical information. I hope you still liked the video and you got an impression of the new Breitling watches.
If you are looking for sizes you'd be better of just googling that. I don't think that is what people want to see when looking at a review like this. If you could even call it a "review". I think it is more like an overview of all of them
ich bin nicht begeistert! Breitling war mal meine Lieblingsmarke, die neuen Modelle, bzw. die Änderungen an den alten Modellen gefallen mir nicht. Ich verstehe zwar die Bemühungen vom neuen Chef mehr Kunden zu erreichen und die Marge rauf zu treiben aber ich bin da raus. Bei mir verbleibt der Super Avenger II Chrono mit Vollpolitur und statt einer neuen Breitling kommt halt eine neue Tag Heuer 02 GMT Batman ins Haus.
Man kann es einfach nicht allen recht machen...
