Breitling’s Latest Navitimer Watches Celebrate Its Historical Ties With Aviation and Space

Continuing on its 140th-anniversary celebrations, Breitling has unveiled the Navitimer GMT and Automatic 41, along with a new self-winding Cosmonaute limited-edition reference.

Presented in the Navitimer’s signature proportions and appearance, the latest update boasts two pared-down revisions in a 41mm case size. Arriving in a sleek stainless steel build, an 18k red gold variant, or a two-tone look in the case for the Automatic option, the watches feature a selection of dial colors spanning blue, black, silver, ice blue and green. Inside, the timekeeper runs on the Breitling Caliber 17, a COSC-certified model that provides 38 hours of power reserve.

As for the Navitimer B12 Chronograph, 41 Cosmonaute Limited Edition pays homage to the original Cosmonaute in the ‘60s, a Navitimer that was specially modified for space exploration, where a 24-hour dial hour is incorporated to distinguish night-time from daytime. The dial base arrives in a deep green, accentuated with black chronograph subdials and punctuated with golden numerals that echo its 18k red gold case. Through the open caseback, the 250-piece limited edition offers a stunning display of its B12 Manufacture movement, made up of 332 components, complete with a 70-hour power reserve.
