WHEREVER THE JOURNEY TAKES YOU
The Navitimer is one of the most recognisable watches ever made. It’s on collectors’ lists of the most excellent watches ever. What began in 1952 as a tool for pilots has gone on to mean something profound to everyone who has had this timepiece along their personal journey.
Now Breitling introduces two new additions to the Navitimer collection, in recent 36- and 32-mm sizes for people who love the look and feel of a smaller diameter watch.
But these showstoppers have much more to offer than just their trim new sizes. Pops of pastel, mother-of-pearl, and traceable precious materials combine with the Navitimer’s distinct beaded bezel to create timepieces with a jewellery-like appeal—giving the legendary navigational watch a versatile elegance that’s ready for wherever the journey takes you.
The campaign for the Navitimer 36 and 32 stars Academy Award-winning actor Charlize Theron, who shares the personal journey that took her from remote South Africa to the international A-list. Theron’s NAVITIMER – FOR THE JOURNEY campaign is part of an intimate series told by Breitling’s brand ambassadors in their own words.
“You can spot someone from across a room and know they are wearing a Navitimer. It’s just that recognisable,” says Breitling CEO Georges Kern. “Charlize Theron so wonderfully represents this line because she too is an icon known worldwide for her strength, beauty, talent, and powerful journey.”
ALL THE LOOK IN A JEWELRY-LIKE FORMAT: THE NAVITIMER AUTOMATIC 36
The 36-mm Navitimer features a beaded bezel and iconic circular slide rule (used by pilots as an analogue calculator), giving the Navitimer its unmistakable appearance. But here it comes in a trio of chic metallic dial colours (mint green, silver, and anthracite) with baton indexes or a white mother-of-pearl dial set with round-cut “better diamonds”.
Part of Breitling’s mission to do better, these diamonds are lab-grown and traceable to accredited producers who have achieved the SCS-007 Sustainability Rated Diamonds Standard. Similarly, the full-gold version and gold bezel on the duo-tone are crafted in “better gold”, traceable to artisanal and small-scale mines that meet the Swiss Better Gold Association’s criteria for social and environmental impact.
All watches in line with better gold, better diamonds, or both carry the Origins label, a marker of their precious materials’ product integrity.
The Navitimer 36 is powered by the COSC-certified Breitling Caliber 17, providing three-hand time and automatic winding.
FLAWLESS STYLE, EXCEPTIONAL ACCURACY: THE NAVITIMER 32
This dazzling new interpretation of the classic aviation watch forgoes the slide rule, favouring a simplified dial design suited to its slim diameter. This small watch packs a big punch in its mother-of-pearl dials in powdery pink and light blue—a first for Breitling—along with classic white. As with the larger 36, the 32 features better diamonds across the line and better gold on the full-gold version and the bezel of the duo-tone. They all carry the Origins label.
The power behind this watch comes from the Breitling Caliber 77, an exact SuperQuartz™ movement that, as with all of Breitling’s quartz calibres, has the added distinction of being COSC-certified. It also features a 50-meter (5-bar) water resistance, which is impressive for a watch this size.
