The Navitimer Automatic 41
My 2nd Breitling for a more casual, semi-formal look.
BackStory
P.S: This post is sort of a continuation of my previous post about the Chrono B01 so if you haven't read that yet, I recommend giving it a quick read.
So I'd been sporting the Chrono B01 for a bit now. Absolutely love the watch. But as they say, humans have a tendency to always want the next thing once they acquire something off the wishlist. I'm only human. The week after I got the B01, I had my eyes set on a more casual, non-chrono automatic 41. The black dial with golden accents instantly was a winner in my eyes. To top this, my partner loved this even more than the previous one. I somewhere knew this will be my next watch.
Neha was traveling to Europe to spend a couple of days touring the south of France. She had multiple times heard from me this would be my next watch. Probably when the company I was working at hit a Series B or another memorable event to commemorate it. The day she was flying back from Paris back to San Francisco, she gives me a call and says she's at the Breitling store looking at the watch. Pleasantly surprised, I told her I would buy this watch to commemorate an event and I wouldn't want to make the purchase in a haste. Innocently I asked her the price and the min she mentioned the price difference between buying here in the US vs France, I made up my mind. She got to enjoy the complementary champagne and I got to add another Breitling to my collection.
Current
This has almost been a daily beater. I wear this to house parties, formal events or when I simply want to hear the watch "ticks" while working from home. The gold accents on a pure black dial look magnificent. More on this later.
