Breitling’s iconic Navitimer watch is now available in two slender new 36mm and 32mm sizes, featuring radiant mother-of-pearl dials, traceable 18 k red gold, and responsible lab-grown diamonds.
The Navitimer is iconic and one of the most recognisable watches ever made. Many collectors believe it is one of the greatest watches of all time. What began in 1952 as a tool watch for pilots has gone on to mean something profound to every single person who has had this timepiece along on their personal journey.
Breitling introduces two new additions to the Navitimer collection, in 36mm and 32mm sizes for those who love the look and feel of a smaller diameter watch. But they have so much more to offer than just there 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 latest campaign for the Navitimer 36 and 32 stars Academy Award-winning actor Charlize Theron (below), 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. Charlize Theron so wonderfully represents this line because she too is an icon known the world over for her strength, beauty, talent, and powerful journey.”
Georges Kern, CEO, Breitling
The 36-mm Navitimer features the beaded bezel and iconic circular slide rule (used by pilots as an analog calculator) that give the Navitimer its unmistakable appearance. It comes in a trio of chic metallic dial colours (mint green, silver, and anthracite) with baton indexes, or with a white mother-of-pearl dial set with round-cut ‘better diamonds’ with the full-gold version crafted in ‘better gold’.
All watches in the line that feature 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.
As with the larger 36, the 32 features better diamonds across the line and better gold on the full-gold version. They all carry the Origins label.
The power behind this watch comes from the Breitling Caliber 77, a supremely precise SuperQuartz™ movement that, as with all of Breitling’s quartz calibers, has the added distinction of being COSC-certified. It also features a 50-meter (5-bar) water resistance, impressive for a watch this size.
