The iconic, aviation-inspired Navitimer models are joined by two references featuring the flagship caliber B19 – an in-house design with a perpetual calendar and moon phase complication.

During the long and rich history of the Navitimer (which was created at the beginning of the second half of the 20th century), there have been many different variants and options, but one thing has remained constant. The model created by the AOPA manufacturer for pilots, which served specific purposes and functions, has remained virtually unchanged. The Navitimer ad 2026 looks almost identical to the original, and this will remain true even with the presentation of its most complicated version.

The new Navitimer is powered by the in-house caliber B19, introduced in 2024. By introducing it to the brand’s 140th anniversary, Breitling Replica has filled a gap in its offerings with a movement featuring the Grand Complication, integrated into what experts consider the excellent B01 chronograph caliber. The B19 is a fully integrated design, with a perpetual calendar displaying the date, month, leap years, day of the week, and moon phases. It also features a column-wheel chronograph capable of measuring up to 30 minutes. The entire movement is COSC chronometer-certified, and despite its multitude of functions, it boasts a power reserve of up to 96 hours.

In both new Breitling watches, the B19 caliber is encased behind a sapphire caseback, which allows for viewing its decorations, topped by a gold, skeletonized automatic winding rotor.

The case itself – in the characteristic Navitimer shape with long, straight lugs – measures 43 mm in diameter and 15.4 mm in thickness, almost the same as the classic Navitimer 43. This time, however, it is luxuriously packaged in one of two options: a combination of steel with a platinum bezel or pure platinum. The first version features an anthracite gray dial with a black and white slide rule and rose gold appliqués and hands.

The platinum version features a lacquered navy blue dial, imitating the lowest levels of the stratosphere. The shiny navy blue is complemented with silver accents, including the bezels surrounding the three subdials, just like the steel model. The black and white slide rule is also identical.
