Two new releases equipped with the only automatic chronograph with a perpetual calendar in constant production on the modern watch market.
Breitling has introduced two new additions to the Navitimer collection - two luxurious chronographs combined with a perpetual calendar and moon phase indicator.
The watches are powered by the in-house Breitling B19 caliber, unveiled in 2024 to mark the brand's 140th anniversary. This is an automatic movement with a 96-hour power reserve. Calendar settings can be adjusted either via the crown or buttons located at the 8 and 10 o'clock positions. Winding is done via a rotor made of 18-carat red gold, visible through the sapphire case back. The movement is COSC certified.
One model features a platinum case complemented by a blue dial, inspired by the stratosphere's color at high altitudes. It comes with a blue alligator leather strap with a folding clasp. The release is limited to 75 pieces.
The second model comes with a steel case with a platinum bezel and an anthracite dial. This watch is available with a brown alligator leather strap or a seven-row steel bracelet.
Both models are presented in cases measuring 43 x 15.14 mm with a lug-to-lug distance of 49.07 mm.
The watches combine typical features of the Navitimer collection: a fluted bezel and a logarithmic scale highlighted in black. The hands and hour markers are treated with luminous material. The dial is equipped with a sapphire crystal with double-sided anti-reflective coating. The case's water resistance is 30 meters.
