Breitling Navitimer new Watches

TAKE TO THE SKIES

Launched in 1952, the Navitimer was the first wristwatch for pilots to combine a chronograph and a computational slide rule. It quickly emerged as one of Breitling’s flagship watch models, becoming a beloved icon in both aviation and pop culture. Breitling began redesigning the Navitimer line in 2022, starting with the original chronograph. It continues that update with two new pared-down executions: a GMT and a three-hand Automatic, each in a universally wearable 41 mm size. These pieces distill the Navitimer’s iconic look, omitting the chronograph yet preserving the balanced dial. The central placement of the 24-hour scale on the GMT and the Automatic’s clean dial ensure the intricate slide rule stands out while streamlining the overall aesthetics. The palette includes black, blue, silver, ice blue, and green dials, encased in stainless steel or 18-karat red gold, along with a two-tone variant for the Automatic. This reinvention of the Navitimer, marrying the classic with the contemporary, is tailored for enthusiasts and the style- conscious alike, promising Breitling’s commitment to heritage and innovation in each timepiece.
