For its latest release, Breitling unveils the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 46 North American Limited Edition, a two-tone model created in celebration of Americana and crafted exclusively for the United States and Canadian markets. Limited to only 300 pieces, this model continues Breitling’s tradition of honoring North American themes, pairing a classic 46mm Navitimer case with colors inspired by the American flag and details in 18k red gold. Building upon the success of last year’s U.S. exclusive Navitimer, this new edition expands availability while bringing a vibrant blue dial to Breitling’s lineup of market-exclusive watches.The 46mm case with a thickness of 13.95mm and a lug width of 24mm is made of stainless-steel, while following the traditional large size of the Navitimer collection. The bold, spacious dimensions offer substantial wrist presence, making it one of the larger models within Breitling’s offerings. This size is designed to appeal to fans of oversized watches and those who appreciate a statement piece.On the reverse, the watch features a display caseback crafted from stainless steel and sapphire crystal, allowing a view of the Caliber B01 automatic movement within. This exhibition caseback design showcases Breitling’s attention to detail, with decorative Geneva stripes visible on the bridges and rotor, highlighting the movement’s craftsmanship.It comes equipped with a solid 18k red gold bezel, which enhances the two-tone aesthetic of the model and adds a touch of luxury. Plus a knurled setting-crown and two piston-style pushers to operate the chronograph functions. All topped by a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment. Water-resistance can reach up to 30 meters (98 feet).The dial captures the eye with a rich blue backdrop that serves as the foundation for Breitling’s signature Navitimer design. This vibrant blue dial, accented with pops of red on the seconds hand and slide rule bezel, brings a fresh American-inspired colorway to the collection. Set against the deep blue surface are three black chronograph sub-dials, maintaining the familiar tri-compax layout and ensuring easy readability of chronograph functions.A notable feature is the date window integrated into the sub-dial at 6 o’clock, ensuring symmetry and maintaining the dial’s clean appearance. The hands and hour markers are crafted in red gold, enhancing the model’s two-tone aesthetic and elevating its appearance to a more luxurious level. The design choices echo other American-themed models Breitling has released recently, including the Super Chronomat B01 44 U.S. Limited Edition and Chronomat B01 42 Super Bowl LVIII Edition, making this a cohesive part of Breitling’s Americana tribute series.For added practicality, the Super-LumiNova coating on the hands and hour markers provides visibility in low-light settings.
