Breitling Deliver Two Striking Navitimer References

Summary

• Breitling launches the Navitimer Perpetual Calendar Chronograph and the Navitimer Tribute to Concorde
• The Perpetual Calendar offers a B19 movement, moonphase, available in a full platinum or stainless steel build
• The Concorde tribute is limited to 593 pieces and starts with a stratosphere‑blue dial

Breitling has expanded its iconic aviation collection with two high-altitude releases celebrating the Navitimer‘s 70th anniversary: the Navitimer B19 Perpetual Calendar Chronograph and the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Tribute to Concorde.

Representing the Navitimer at its highest level of mechanical complexity, the Navitimer B19 Perpetual Calendar Chronograph introduces the brand’s first core-catalog automatic perpetual calendar movement. The Caliber B19 is a technical milestone that automatically accounts for leap years and month lengths for an entire century, offering a robust 96-hour power reserve.

The duo includes a 75-piece limited edition in full platinum with a deep blue lacquered dia, priced at $52,000 USD, as well as a second execution in stainless steel with a platinum bezel and anthracite dial that retails for $31,700 USD. Both models feature an 18k red-gold rotor visible through the caseback and a moonphase display that reinforces the watch’s celestial roots.

As for the Navitimer Tribute to Concorde, it serves as a dual homage to the golden age of air travel and the 50th anniversary of the supersonic aircraft’s first flight. Nicknamed “the White Bird,” the Concorde’s influence is captured through a blue dial mirroring the stratosphere as seen from 60,000 feet, paired with contrasting white subdials and an inner slide rule. Priced st $10,600 USD, this limited edition is restricted to 593 pieces – a reference to the Olympus 593 turbojet engines that powered the jet – and is powered by the COSC-certified Breitling Manufacture Caliber B01. The 43mm stainless steel case features a premium platinum bidirectional bezel and is engraved with “Mach 2” to commemorate the aircraft’s cruising speed.
