The Navitimer is one of the most recognisable watches ever made. It’s on collectors’ lists of the greatest watches of all time. What began in 1952 as a tool for pilots has gone on to mean something profound to every single person who has had this timepiece along on their personal journey.
Breitling now introduces two new additions to the Navitimer collection, in new 36- and 32-mm sizes for people who love the look and feel of a smaller diameter watch. But these showstoppers have so 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 jewelry-like appeal, giving the legendary navigational watch a versatile elegance that’s ready for wherever the journey takes you.

The Navitimer Automatic 36
The 36-mm Navitimer features the beaded bezel and iconic circular slide rule (used by pilots as an analogue calculator) that give 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 with 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 is 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 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.
The Navitimer 32
This dazzling new interpretation of the classic aviation watch forgoes the slide rule in favour of a simplified dial design suited to its slim diameter. Where this small watch packs a big punch is in its mother-of-pearl dials in powdery pink and light-blue, 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. 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.
