What do you guys think to the new Breitling Navitimer Battle of Britain limited edition?

Well, since you are asking. No, it does not cut it for me. I guess its the more modern style crests that put me off. As small as they are and not to judge it sight unseen, I don't think I could warm to this one. B of B is something I am very interested in however and I hope the charity makes some money out of this, and that its a great success.

Of course, one of 75 will probably get it there for some and good for them if they buy, but I can't get enthusiastic about this type of celebration item. Sorry.

I have never been into limited editions of any sort but this does look to be a tasteful commemoration of a significant piece of history. I am sure this will resonate with those who have connections with the Battle of Britain. I also echo Jim's hope that the charity will earn some well deserved funds.

I certainly wish everyone does well with this one. That being said, the design elements leave me cold. I think it would have been interesting to see the RAF "target" take up an entire subdial.

This is a real shame. Could have been done so much better. Think they've just ruined a nice watch rather than enhance it
Surprised AMJ didn't 'guide' them a little better...

We've just received ours into stock, here are a couple of quick images, personally I do think its a very tasteful piece, its understated!

10% of the retail price goes to the RAF benevolent fund, and the number 1 piece will be auctioned off today at the RAF Benevolent Fund Royal Gala.

I'm RAF and have had an RAF edition Aerospace for 10 years, but this has massively missed the mark. The modern day RAF corporate logo is just completely unfitting for a watch that celebrates 75 years of The Few. Stick a B of B roundel on there and replace the Breitling logo with a kings crown pilots brevet and you are on your way to a much better watch.
