Details & Specifications
Description:
Founded in 1884, Breitling is marking its anniversary with a new addition to its roster of pioneering achievements: the Caliber B19, the brand’s first perpetual calendar chronograph movement. The new caliber makes its debut in three limited-edition 140th-anniversary pieces representing Breitling’s icons: the Premier, Navitimer, and Chronomat. The Premier made its debut in 1943 as the watch that took the chronograph out of the cockpit and into society, making it a symbol—in the words of founder Willy Breitling—of “impeccable taste.” The Navitimer was the first watch for pilots to combine a chronograph with the brand’s proprietary wrist-worn circular slide rule.
All three icons feature the manufacture B19 movement which sports a solid-gold rotor for the occasion, decorated with an engraving of Breitling’s historic Montbrillant Manufactory in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. Montbrillant was more than a factory: Its west wing was a home that housed three generations of the Breitling family while serving as the company’s manufacture for more than 80 years. Each anniversary edition is limited to 140 pieces and presented with a sumptuous suede-lined wooden collection box that can be configured to display up to three timepieces.
