It’s a comparison that’s a great reminder of just how much Breitling has evolved whilst still keeping the core DNA of the Navitimer intact.
On the left, the Breitling Navitimer AB0121211B1P1 feels like one of the strongest modern Navitimers. The reverse panda dial is striking and the classic 3-6-9 chronograph layout gives the dial a symmetry that makes all the usual Navitimer chaos feel highly controlled. Powered by Breitling’s in-house B01 movement, it’s sharp, refined and probably the version that best balances heritage with everyday wearability.
Then there’s the A19340 Olympus … and subtle it isn’t.
It’s peak old-school Breitling - the era when “more” always seemed to be the answer. Chronograph, full calendar, moonphase, slide rule bezel … the Olympus packs an incredible amount onto the dial, yet somehow works. The longer you look, the more there is to discover. It’s complicated, a little mad and all the better for it.
That’s what makes this pairing so interesting. The AB feels like Breitling saying, “We’ve refined the formula”. The Olympus feels like they said, “Let’s add everything.”
And honestly… we’re glad both exist. Which is your favourite?
