The Ace of the flight watch world returns to the team! The Breitling Navitimer wing logo returns to the dial

Breitling's "wings" are back! In 2018, BREITLING changed the brand logo from the anchor double-wing logo to the uppercase B letter, and many watch fans felt sorry; in 2022, on the 70th anniversary of Navitimer, Breitling brought the signature "wings" back to the dial of the watch, and flew with Navitimer The positioning of the watch can be said to be perfect! The new model has three watch diameters of 46, 43 and 41mm. Each size has a rich dial color to choose from, including the classic black face, and the most popular ice blue face and salmon face.

For 70 years, Breitling's original pilot's watch has been highly favored by pilots and fashionistas alike. Wearing this watch from astronauts to superstars on Earth, it is Breitling's most iconic timepiece. Today, Breitling has launched a tribute to the legendary watch-the new Navitimer aviation chronograph watch not only captures the most classic features of the original version, but also improves and improves the watch through modern improvements.

Breitling CEO Georges Kern said: "We don't use the word 'masterpiece' lightly. The Navitimer aviation chronograph watch is one of the most recognizable watches in history. It is one of the most outstanding watches in collectors' history. You can also see the name of this watch. Originally designed as a tool for pilots, this timepiece is now very meaningful to all those who have owned it in their journeys in life.”

Even the watch designers did not expect the Navitimer aviation chronograph to be so popular. In 1952, Willy Breitling, the third generation descendant of the Breitling family, developed a chronograph watch with a circular flight slide rule, which allows pilots to perform various necessary flight calculations. Two years later, the Airline Operators and Pilots Association (AOPA), the world's largest pilot club, announced that it had adopted the design as its official timepiece. The winged logo of the association is printed at 12 o'clock, and the 'navigation timer' (Navitimer aviation chronograph watch) came into being.

When creating the new Navitimer, Breitling has retained some of the most well-known elements of its masterpieces. Equipped with circular flying sliders, graduated hour markers, three chronograph sub-dials and a grooved bezel for easy grip, the watch is unmistakably a Navitimer aviation chronograph at first glance. A closer look reveals a sense of modern sophistication. The watch is available in various sizes such as 46, 43 or 41 mm, with two case materials of stainless steel or 18K red gold and different straps (semi-bright crocodile leather or seven-row metal chain strap) to choose from. The new dial options feature contemporary shades of blue, green and salmon. If there is one feature that is bound to evoke nostalgia, it is the return of the AOPA wing logo to the 12 o'clock position.

Flying sliders and a domed crystal mirror further refine the silhouette of the watch. Alternate polished and brushed finishes give metallic elements a sparkling yet understated quality. The transparent back cover provides a better view, and the slimmer profile on the oscillating weight allows a clear view of the Breitling B01 movement certified by the Swiss Official Observatory (COSC). The movement enjoys a five-year warranty and provides about 70 hours of power storage. The date display window is located on the low-key small dial, and the wearer can adjust the date at any time.

Today, 70 years later, the Navitimer aviation chronograph watch is no longer a tool used by pilots for navigation, it has become a symbol of those who are good at planning their own life journey. Breitling celebrates this significance in the new advertising series "NAVITIMER—FOR THE JOURNEY", featuring basketball superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, American Ballet Theater principal dancer Misty Copeland ) and the Navitimer Action Squad featuring aviation pioneer and explorer Bertrand Piccard.
