BREITLING – NAVITIMER 8 B01 Chronograph 43 mm Collection 2018
NAVITIMER 8 B01
As the highlight of our new watch line, the
Navitimer 8 B01 is presented in stainless steel as well as in 18 k red gold,
each with the exclusive Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01. With those two
versions, the manufactory meets all the demands of discerning watch bearers.

The
first completely self-developed and -manufactured chronograph movement made its
debut at Breitling just in time for the company’s 125th anniversary in 2009.
Its tension spring supports a ball-bearing rotor highly efficiently in both
directions of rotation. When the tension spring is fully wound, more than 70
hours of power reserve are available.

This guarantees that the new Navitimer 8 B01 accurately displays hours, minutes, seconds, and date, even after a weekend tucked away in the vault. As befits a sophisticated mechanism of this kind, a classic control wheel operates the three chronograph functions start, stop, and reset. At the push of a button, an energy-saving friction coupling connects the stopwatch mechanism smoothly to the wheel mechanism.

Other pioneering features include a patented self-centering system with an innovative heart-shaped lever to reset the chronograph to zero. The deliberate restriction to just 346 components ensures longevity and high serviceability. All components are finely finished and assembled according to Breitling’s strict specifications. Balance and balance spring oscillate at four hertz. This means that time intervals can be precisely timed to within one fourth of a second.

Before the ticking microcosm finds its resting place in one of the eye-catching new cases with bidirectional pointer bezel, it has to prove itself for 15 days in the official Swiss chronometer test. After successfully returning from the rigorous testing laboratories of the COSC, the watchmakers assemble the exquisitely designed dial with the hands, whose length and shape are exactly aligned with the dial.

On the wrist, the precise manufacture caliber can be identified by the arrangement of the permanent second, the positioning of the 30-minute and 12-hour totalizers, as well as the clearly readable window date positioned between 4 and 5 o’clock.

The distinctive design element are the three contrasting subdials that add to the unmistakable statement of top-class chronograph performance with the Navitimer 8 B01. The three circular counters are distinctly offset in color.

There is a choice between a black or blue dial in the steel models. A bronze-colored version harmonizes perfectly with the precious red gold case. Double anti-reflective sapphire glass gently curves over the front in each version. On the back, the exclusive inner workings are displayed through a transparent sapphire case back.

The steel Navitimer 8 B01 features either a leather strap with a pin buckle or a stainless steel bracelet with a folding clasp to give a secure and comfortable grip on the wrist. The solid gold version is only available with an alligator leather strap and pin buckle. Regardless of the case material, the Navitimer 8 B01 is water-resistant up to ten bar and is sure to catch the eye.
