Breitling Navitimer Automatic 41
One of the most celebrated pilot models by Breitling is the “Navitimer”, packed with complications and a very busy dial lay-out to facilitate various calculations. But, this is their more simplistic “Breitling Navitimer Automatic 41” model, which appears here in a limited edition with a new color scheme.The 41mm case is made of stainless-steel with a polished finish.Mounted to the case is a beaded and ratcheted bi-directional bezel with the signature aviation slide rule. On the flip-side is a steel screwed caseback engraved with the brands insignia of an anchor with wings and the inscription “ONE OF 500” to highlight the limited-edition availability for this model. It comes equipped with a non screw-locked crown, equipped with two gaskets and adorned by the cursive “B” logo for Breitling.
All topped by a cambered sapphire crystal that has been glareproofed on both sides. Water-resistance on this watch can reach up to 30 meters (100 feet).Time is exhibited on a silver dial with applied blue hour index markers, followed by a ring of black printed minutes/seconds markings. The rotating bezel has arrows that can be used to match up the center dial and help calculate miles per hour (MPH) with black markers or light blue markers for kilometers (KM).The blued central hour and minute hands, as well as the hour index markers have all been fitted with a Super-LumiNova coating, for an enhanced legibility. Its thinner central seconds hand has been crafted with a counter-weight in the form of the cursive “B” logo. There is also a date aperture placed at the 6 o’clock position.
