For 70 years, Breitling\u2019s original pilot\u2019s watch has been beloved by aviators and tastemakers in equal measure. Worn by an astronaut in space and the biggest stars on Earth, it is Breitling\u2019s most iconic timepiece. This year, Breitling honoured the legend with the introduction of the new Navitimer design that captures its most classic features, while enhancing them with modern refinements.<\/p>\n
The Navitimer B01 Chronograph 41 Singapore Airlines Limited Edition is unmistakably a Navitimer with the circular slide rule, baton indexes, trio of chronograph counters and notched bezel for easy grip. It also features a flattened slide rule and a domed crystal to create the illusion of a more compact profile. A slimmer silhouette on the oscillating weight enhances the opencaseback view of the COSC-certified Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01. This movement is backed by a five-year warranty, provides approximately 70 hours of power reserve, and allows the wearer to change the date \u2013 now visible through a discreet window in the subdial at 6 o\u2019clock \u2013 at any time.<\/p>\n
The Navitimer Automatic 38 Singapore Airlines Limited Edition, meanwhile, provides a selfwinding alternative to the 41 in a trimmer 38mm format without chronograph. Its Breitling 17
\nmovement offers an approximate 38-hour power reserve and comes with a two-year warranty. It features a beaded bezel and special caseback engraving of the renowned Singapore Airlines
\nbatik motif. Both timepieces come with an elegant stainless steel bracelet. They each feature the Singapore Airlines logo on the caseback along with the limitation number \u201cOne of 100\u201d.<\/p>\n
