Breitling Blue Dial by Family
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.
Breitling Blue Face Price Guide
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:

Buying Guide: What to Check on a Breitling Blue Dial
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.
Frequently Asked Questions About Breitling Blue Face
Which Breitling watches come with a blue dial?
Blue dials are available across nearly all Breitling families: Navitimer (B01 43, B01 46, Heritage), Chronomat (B01 42, B01 44), Avenger (II 43, 45), Superocean Heritage (II 44, II 46), and Premier (B01 42, B09 40). The Navitimer and Chronomat are the most common blue dial references on the secondary market.
What shade of blue is used in Breitling watches?
Blue dial shades vary by family. The Navitimer uses a deep navy aviator blue with a matte/satin finish. The Chronomat uses a brighter royal blue with slight metallic shimmer. The Superocean Heritage uses an electric blue reminiscent of vintage dive instruments. The Premier uses a more conservative steel blue suited to dress contexts. Lighting conditions significantly affect appearance — always view in person before purchasing.
How much does a Breitling blue face watch cost pre-owned?
Pre-owned prices range from $2,800 for older ETA-movement Avenger blue dial references in average condition to $38,000 for rose gold Navitimer or Chronomat blue dial examples with full set. In-house B01 movement models in steel typically run $5,500–$10,000 in good condition. Full set with box and papers adds 10–20% to any reference.
Does the Breitling blue dial hold its value better than other colors?
Blue is consistently among the top two or three most popular Breitling dial colors alongside black, which supports stable secondary market demand. Blue dial Navitimers and Chronomats do not command significant premiums over equivalent black dial versions (unlike blue Royal Oak vs black), but they also depreciate at similar rates. Demand is steady rather than premium-driven.
