Breitling Navitimer U13324211B1 41MM Chronograph Two Tone Black Steel and Gold Box and Papers 2018

WHY THIS WATCH

The Breitling Navitimer launched in 1952, was designed for pilots and aviation enthusiasts. Its innovative slide rule bezel enables complex flight-related calculations, making it a groundbreaking aviation tool. Over the decades, the Navitimer has evolved, incorporating self-winding chronograph movements and updated designs while maintaining its status as a revered pilot's instrument and horological icon.

The watch's particular Navitimer comes in a 41mm case, with a gold rotating bezel, and features a black dial, elegantly complemented by luminescent rose gold outlined hour and minute hands. A large red sweeping seconds hand and rose gold applied index hour markers with luminescent tips add to its refined appearance. Three black chronograph subdials are present, including a 30-minute counter at 12 o'clock, a 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock, and a small seconds subdial at 9 o'clock. A tachymeter scale runs along the outer edge, and a discreet date window is located at the 3 o'clock position, completing the watch's sophisticated design.

This watch is powered by the Breitling Caliber 13, an automatic chronograph movement that is widely used in various Breitling timepieces. The Caliber 13 is based on the reliable and robust Valjoux/ETA 7750 movement, which has been modified and enhanced by Breitling to meet their specifications and high standards. The Breitling Caliber 13 is a self-winding, mechanical movement that features a 42-hour power reserve, a quick-set date function, and a chronograph with 1/4th second, 30-minute, and 12-hour counters. The movement oscillates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz), ensuring precise timekeeping. The Breitling Caliber 13 is also COSC-certified, which means it has undergone rigorous testing for accuracy and reliability.

On the wrist, this watch fits perfectly on my wrist. 41mm is the perfect size for a Navitimer in my opinion. I didn't expect to like the gold bezel, but after wearing it I find it gives the Navitimer just the right amount of bling.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

This watch was purchased brand new, and worn sparingly. The watch has some normal wear and is around 9/10. The movement is keeping excellent time with the chronograph functioning well and resetting to zero. The watch comes with the factory light brown Breitling leather band, which is near mint, and a factory Breitling deployment clasp. The watch comes with all you see in the pictures including the outer box, inner box, warranty card, and manuals.
