The Navitimer is the most represented blue dial Breitling in this collection. The Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 blue dial (ref. AB0121211C1P1) pairs a deep navy "aviator blue" dial with a circular slide rule bezel — a defining design element since 1952. The dial features luminous applied indices, three-register chronograph subdials at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, and the distinctive Navitimer logo. Older references including the Navitimer Heritage 806 and the 46mm B01 also appear with blue dials across generations spanning the 1960s-style reissues to current production.
The Chronomat blue dial is the most sport-forward option in this collection. The Chronomat B01 42 blue (ref. AB0134101C1A1) uses a brighter royal blue versus the Navitimer's navy, with a four-rider tab bezel, bi-compax layout, and "rouleaux" bracelet. The Avenger II blue dial runs at 43–45mm with a bold unidirectional bezel and screw-lock crown. The Superocean Heritage II Chronograph blue dial — at 44–46mm — combines dive watch proportions with a vintage-inspired layout. The Premier B01 Chronograph 42 in blue is the most understated: a cleaner dial with fewer complications at 42mm.
Prices across 84 references vary significantly by family, condition, and movement type. References with in-house B01 movements command premiums over older ETA-based models. Full set with box and papers from 2018 onward adds 10–20%. The Breitling Rose Gold variants of blue dial references are priced 40–80% above equivalent steel configurations. Below is the secondary market range by family:
| Family | Reference Example | Movement | Price Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Navitimer B01 43 | AB0121211C1P1 | In-house B01 | $5,500 - $8,500 |
| Chronomat B01 42 | AB0134101C1A1 | In-house B01 | $6,000 - $10,000 |
| Avenger II Blue | A13371111C1X1 | ETA B12 | $3,500 - $6,500 |
| Superocean Heritage II | AB0162121C1S1 | In-house B20 | $4,000 - $7,500 |
| Premier B01 Chrono 42 | AB0118221B1P1 | In-house B01 | $5,000 - $9,000 |
Blue dials are sensitive to UV exposure — inspect for fading at the 12 o'clock lug area and near the subdials, where direct light hits most. On the Navitimer, the circular slide rule bezel should rotate smoothly with positive clicks; any stiffness indicates wear in the bezel mechanism. Subdial hands should be aligned precisely at zero — misalignment suggests the chronograph was reset without proper service. The Chronomat four-tab bezel should click firmly through its positions without wobble or lateral movement.
Movement authenticity: in-house B01 movements are marked "BREITLING" on the oscillating weight, visible through the sapphire caseback. ETA-based models show the movement manufacturer's markings. Breitling's COSC chronometer certification (present on most references) means the movement passed independent rate testing — verify the certification card matches the reference. The Breitling Two Tone blue dial references require additional inspection of the gold/steel interface at the bracelet links for any separation or tarnishing.
