The Breitling Navitimer B01 43 Chronograph with reference AB0138241K1A1 wears a copper, or salmon-toned, dial. Collectors know it by several names: Copper Navitimer or Salmon Navitimer, though the technically correct term is simply Copper B01 43. The watch debuted in April 2022 at Watches & Wonders in Geneva, part of the full MY22 relaunch of the Navitimer line.
## 13.69 millimeters thin thanks to a flat slide-rule bezel
Compared with the predecessor reference AB012012, the 42mm Navitimer B01, the MY22 case feels noticeably slimmer: 13.69mm in height, achieved via a flat slide-rule bezel, listed in the spec sheet as "Flat Slide Rule" under the code Navitimer-43-SlideRule-Flat-Steel. The movement is Breitling's in-house Caliber B01, visible through an open caseback — the first Navitimer B01 Chronograph ever to have one.
## The AOPA wings return to 12 o'clock
With the MY22 generation, the AOPA emblem, the insignia of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, made its way back to the 12 o'clock position. Breitling also expanded the color palette at the same time: copper is one of three new dial colors, joined by mint green and ice blue. For our reference, the internal dial code reads AB0138-241K1-Copper — precisely the copper variant that's often nicknamed "Salmon" in the trade, a nod to the warmer rosé tones of comparable dials from other brands.
## What this means for buyers today
Anyone examining an AB0138241K1A1 should check for the domed sapphire crystal and the open caseback. Both features are completely absent on the predecessor reference AB012012, giving you a quick generation check right on the case, before you even assess the dial.
Brand profile: Breitling
Breitling is known for aviation and dive watches. Chronographs (Navitimer, Chronomat) are the most frequently counterfeited. Pay close attention to slide rule details and COSC certification.
- Wing logo: a genuine Breitling logo shows the anchor and wing tips that NEVER touch — precise negative space between them — fakes let the tips meet or overlap
- 3D 'B' crown: the 'B' on the crown must appear three-dimensional with a light reflection on the curve — a flat 'B' = fake
- Bezel scale vs. dial: the outer white bezel scale must align precisely with the inner black dial indices — fakes show misalignment
- Date disc depth: a genuine Navitimer date disc sits flush with the dial plane — fakes show the date window as a 'crater' (noticeably sunken or raised)
Serial number format: Breitling serial numbers: alphanumeric, located between the lugs at 6 o'clock. Format: one letter + 8 digits (e.g. 'AB012012'). Older models: digits only.
