Chronographs are more popular than ever. Breitling fully understands this fact in every respect. The manufactory understands the importance of a function to precisely time short or long intervals while at the same time maintaining an expressive look.

The new Navitimer 8 Chronograph is aimed at price-conscious customers. Its outer qualities, that is the design code with all its expressive facets, the elaborate case, dial and pointer details, and the outstanding manufacturing quality are in no way inferior to those of its more illustrious counterpart manufactured with Breitling Caliber 01.

This chronograph makes no compromises when it comes to reliability and precision either. The Breitling Caliber 13 automatic movement built into the interior of the case has served well in 45 years of short-term timekeeping. A three-dimensional switching mechanism controls the stopwatch start, stop, and reset functions.

An oscillatory mechanism, proven over more than one hundred years, establishes the connection between the movement and the stopwatch mechanism. The four-hertz balance frequency mechanism allows stopwatch timing to within one fourth of a second. The 30-minute and 12-hour totalizers are arranged in a vertical line, while the small seconds hand is located at 9 o’clock. Other features of this robust wristwatch: weekday display, window date, at least 42 hours of power reserve, and accuracy officially certified by the COSC.

Breitling offers this timepiece with a monochrome dial in black or blue featuring striking Super-LumiNova® luminescent numerals and luminescent hour and minute hands. The convex double anti-reflective sapphire glass gives an undisturbed view of this carefully tuned ensemble.

A version made of DLC-coated stainless steel is also available in addition to the classic stainless steel case with a 43-millimeter diameter. Whichever version you choose, the case withstands water pressure up to ten bar. The back consists of solidly screwed stainless steel. You can choose between a leather strap with a pin buckle or a stainless steel strap to match the design of the case.

Finally, the handy rotating bezel with its pointer offers real added value. Clearly perceptible, it can remind you of any upcoming appointments or the expiry of your parking meter.

Michel HERBELIN – Newport Chrono Black PVD Noir

Michel HERBELIN – NEWPORT Chronograph Black PVD Noir

Newport Chronograph in Black PVD
The Speed of Time

After updating the design last year, the Michel Herbelin French Watchmaking Studio now presents the Newport Chronograph in an all-black version. The decidedly sporty watch packs a robust punch with standout features that make it a choice timepiece for the distinguished gentleman...

Purebred character

This steel timepiece coated in black PVD throughout is instantly recognisable as part of the Newport family and maintains all of the original specifications of the collection. Its rounded case measures 42.5 mm in diameter. The notched black dial with circular brushed bezel is arranged like a dashboard, engraved with a tachymeter scale.

Punctuated with luminescent baton hour markers ringed by a discreet minute track on the encircling flange, the dial houses three counters in a V shape, in an anthracite grey that discreetly draws the gaze. Complete with a large date aperture at 12 o’clock, the well-balanced design affords easy reading of the information on display.

A steadfast companion for the man who lives life at 100 miles an hour, this Michel Herbelin chronograph comes with a rubber-look black leather strap that complements its sporty aesthetic. Pairing equally well with a jacket as with a casual outfit, it makes a versatile everyday companion for the man who lives life to the full.

Sporty temperament

Fitted with a Swiss-made quartz chronograph movement (Ronda), the Newport Chronograph guarantees precision to 1/10th of a second, for 54 months. Made for racing, it features a tachymeter scale that runs from 60 to 400 km/h, allowing dedicated record breakers to measure their average speed over a given distance. Also water-resistant to 100 metres (double-gasket crown), this sporty Michel Herbelin, protected by a sapphire crystal, is in pole position to accompany the masculine gent in his many pursuits.

Like all the brand’s timepieces, this Newport chronograph was conceived, designed, assembled, regulated and quality checked at the Michel Herbelin studios in the Jura mountains of the Franche-Comté region. Heir to a French watchmaking tradition stretching back over 70 years, it offers the assurance of stringent technical standards.
