April 2022, Breitling swaps reference AB0121 for the AB0138 — a genuine generational shift for the Navitimer 1 B01 43. Among collectors, the mint-green 241L version quickly earned the nickname Green Panda, alongside Mint Navitimer and Mint B01 43. All three refer to the same dial, reference AB0138-241L-MintGreen, with its distinctive light green tone that sets the line apart from the classic black and silver Panda variants.
## Two Small Fixes, a Big Impact
The real innovation lies in the layout. The AOPA wings move from the center of the dial back up to the 12 o'clock position, just as on the original 1954 Navitimer. At the same time, the date shifts from the 4:30 position to 6 o'clock — a change that noticeably improves symmetry and addresses criticism leveled at the previous reference. Two small tweaks, but they visibly change the overall look of the dial.
## A Slimmer Case, a New Bracelet
The proportions were fine-tuned too. Case height drops from 14.22 mm to 13.69 mm, a reduction of 0.53 mm that makes the 43mm watch sit noticeably flatter on the wrist. It's paired with a new seven-link Navitimer steel bracelet. The in-house B01 flyback chronograph movement, meanwhile, carries over unchanged — Breitling deliberately left the proven engine alone here.
## Color Variants as a Family
With the MY22 generation, Mint Green was joined by Copper (241K) and Ice Blue (241C), plus a limited Silver edition for North America capped at just 300 pieces. The AB0138241L1A1 thus marks the start of a color family that has given the Navitimer 1 B01 43 a noticeably fresh look.
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.
