Key Features

• Automatic Chronograph Movement: Powered by an in-house automatic caliber, this watch delivers precise timekeeping and stopwatch functionality without the need for battery replacement. The self-winding mechanism ensures consistent performance through natural wrist motion, making it a dependable choice for daily wear. The chronograph function allows for accurate measurement of elapsed time, useful in both professional and personal contexts.
• Blue Dial with Luminous Markers: The deep blue dial enhances readability while maintaining a refined appearance. Applied hour markers and hands are treated with luminous material, providing clear visibility in low-light environments such as dimly lit cockpits or evening settings. The contrast between the rich blue background and the bright indices ensures legibility at a glance.
• Blue Leather Strap: Crafted from high-quality leather, the blue strap complements the dial and offers comfort for all-day wear. The strap is designed to develop a rich patina over time, adding character with use and reflecting the natural aging process of fine leather. Its supple texture and secure buckle closure ensure a snug, comfortable fit on a variety of wrist sizes.
• Aviation-Inspired Design: True to the Navitimer legacy, this watch includes a circular slide rule bezel, a signature feature used by pilots for in-flight calculations such as fuel consumption, airspeed, and distance. This functional element pays homage to Breitling’s origins as a supplier of timepieces to aviation professionals and remains a distinctive hallmark of the collection.
• Sapphire Crystal: The watch face is protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, ensuring long-term clarity and durability against daily wear. This premium material resists scuffs and maintains optical clarity, preserving the watch’s appearance even after years of use.
• Water Resistance: Designed to withstand splashes and brief immersion, this timepiece offers practical protection for everyday activities such as handwashing or light rain exposure. However, it is not intended for swimming, diving, or prolonged submersion, and care should be taken to avoid exposing it to water under pressure.
