Breitling has just revealed a dazzling surprise for watch enthusiasts and fashion-forward individuals alike. The brand has introduced two new additions to the Navitimer family, the Navitimer 36 and 32, which not only bring a sleeker, slender design but also incorporate exquisite features like radiant mother-of-pearl dials, traceable 18k red gold, and responsibly sourced lab-grown diamonds. These new watches mark an exciting evolution in the Navitimer’s history, as they merge precision engineering with the elegance of fine jewelry. Moreover, they are introduced through the captivating NAVITIMER – FOR THE JOURNEY campaign, starring Academy Award-winning actor Charlize Theron.
The Navitimer holds a special place in the world of horology. Since its inception in 1952 as a navigational tool for pilots, it has transcended its initial purpose to become a timeless symbol of personal journeys and achievements. This iconic watch has found its way onto collectors’ lists of the greatest watches of all time, and its allure remains undiminished.
Breitling now presents the Navitimer 36 and 32, catering to those who appreciate the aesthetics of smaller diameter watches. Beyond their trim sizes, these timepieces are true showstoppers. Featuring enchanting mother-of-pearl dials and the Navitimer’s signature beaded bezel, they exude a jewelry-like elegance that seamlessly marries functionality and style.
The 36-mm Navitimer offers a choice of chic metallic dial colors, including mint green, silver, and anthracite, with baton indexes. Alternatively, it boasts a white mother-of-pearl dial adorned with round-cut “better diamonds.” A noteworthy aspect of these diamonds is that they are lab-grown and traceable to accredited producers meeting the SCS-007 Sustainability Rated Diamonds Standard.
Similarly, the full-gold version and the gold bezel on the duo-tone models are crafted from “better gold,” which is traceable to artisanal and small-scale mines adhering to the Swiss Better Gold Association’s social and environmental criteria. Each of these watches bearing better gold, better diamonds, or both, proudly carries the Origins label, signifying the integrity of their precious materials.
The Navitimer 36 is powered by the COSC-certified Breitling Caliber 17, offering three-hand timekeeping and automatic winding. This interpretation of the classic aviation watch streamlines its dial design to suit its slimmer profile, foregoing the slide rule. What makes this smaller watch stand out are its mother-of-pearl dials in powdery pink and light blue, a first for Breitling, alongside classic white. Regardless of the dial choice, the 32 features “better diamonds” across the line, and the full-gold version and the duo-tone bezel are adorned with “better gold,” all proudly bearing the Origins label.
The Navitimer 32 is powered by the Breitling Caliber 77, a highly precise SuperQuartz™ movement that, like all of Breitling’s quartz calibers, is COSC-certified. With an impressive 50-meter (5-bar) water resistance, this watch proves its mettle in terms of both style and functionality.
Over its 70-year history, the Navitimer has evolved from being a navigational tool to a symbol of personal journeys through life. This transformation is celebrated in the NAVITIMER – FOR THE JOURNEY campaign, featuring the Navitimer Squad, which includes basketball superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, principal dancer Misty Copeland, aviation pioneer Bertrand Piccard, and Academy Award-winning actor Charlize Theron. Each member of the squad has a remarkable journey to share, making the campaign a compelling exploration of human achievement.
