The Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 in red gold, reference RB0138211B1P1, belongs to the generation that got a complete overhaul in 2022. Collectors call it the Navitimer RG or Gold Navitimer 43, and some refer to it as the Flat Slide Rule Navi — a name that points straight at its most distinctive detail.
## The Slide Rule Sits Flat Now
Earlier references like the AB0134, AB0136, and AB0117 carried a tilted slide-rule bezel and a case standing around 15 millimeters tall. The MY22 redesign machined that bezel flat and shaved roughly 1.5 millimeters off the case height. The tachymeter ring disappeared entirely, and the AOPA wings moved back to the 12 o'clock position, right where they sat on the early Navitimer models.
## A View You Couldn't Get Before
This generation was the first to feature an exhibition caseback. Flip over the RB0138211B1P1 and you can watch the Caliber B01 at work — an in-house chronograph movement from Breitling's own manufacture. On the earlier references, the back was solid and the movement stayed hidden.
## Black Dial, Warm Gold
This model wears the Black B01 43 dial beneath the flat slide-rule bezel in red gold, catalogued internally as RB0138-SlideRule-RG-43. The pairing of a dark dial with warm case material makes this reference one of the most eye-catching 43-millimeter Navitimers in the current lineup. For collectors tracking the shift from the old generation to the new one closely, 2022 marks the clean break — thick and tilted before, flat and open after.
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.

Market situation and price range
At $18,324 the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 sits in a segment where first owners sell regularly — clean pieces with box and papers are not uncommon. The jump from "good" to "very good" usually costs 1,000 to 2,000 euros more at purchase. You get that premium back on resale if the condition is preserved.
Watch out for swings: This reference has an above-average volatility of 42.9 percent. In concrete terms: the price can move by several hundred euros within a few weeks. Check the current value before buying or selling — old listings or auction results from two months ago are of little help.
What to look out for when buying?

- Scope of delivery: Box, papers and warranty card make a noticeable price difference on the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43.
- Independent certification: The CPS-52 standard covers 52 checkpoints — from the serial number and the timing machine to water resistance. The result is secured on the blockchain and can be verified at any time.
