Description :
This is a piece for the Navilover, the exhibition caseback lets you see the beauty laying inside. The B01 movement - https://watchbase.com/breitling/caliber/b01 - is honestly astounding. The intricacies the movement such as the column wheel chronograph and the vertical clutch are just over the top. The finishing is amongst the great I've had the great I've had the chance to witness. For once, Breitling didn't just rename and ETA movement with a "in-house" reference, they actually built and developed this movement.
Over the last year, I've fiddle with the Sinn 144/ETA 7750 and the Chanel J12 with the ETA 2894-2 and I have to say, the B01 is so much sharper with an amazingly satisfying click when activating/resetting the chronomètre.
The dial as this hue of luxury embedded into it. It's not has tacky as some other Breitling models. Sometimes, they tend to over do everything and they end up being gaudy, personally I think it's perfectly balanced.
Interesting fact, this is the first watch from Breitling with the B01 movement showcasing an exhibition caseback .

Here's a few things I'd like to point. There is 2 swirls on the AR coating on the crystal and a small dent on the 7 O'clock lug. I've tried to showcase those, but they are hard to capture even with a macro lens and ample lighting.
The chronograph has crisp pusher, working flawlessly and resetting to spot on to 0.

This watch is from a family friends that recently retired and is looking to liquidate his watch collection to travel. The watch is in my possession, and was inspected by me and an experienced watchmaker to confirm that everything is as expected, running flawless at +3 sec average in 4 position.
