BREITLING – NAVITIMER and PREMIER Gold Collection -  2025

Season's Greetings in gold: Breitling's limited holiday capsule 

Just in time for the holiday season, Breitling releases a gold capsule collection featuring five quintessential models — three Navitimers and two Premiers. Each model is crafted in 18k red gold and showcases dial colors and movements that were previously never combined—making every piece exclusive. Production is highly limited and available only through select boutiques and on Breitling.com.

 Breitling has always drawn design inspiration from its heritage while consistently moving forward. These five references embody that philosophy. Breitling, with a catalog rich in classics and a modern approach to design, is uniquely positioned to combine colors with designs that have stood the test of time.

Full-gold watches make an unmistakable statement, commanding powerful wrist presence while exuding elevated elegance. The weight of gold compared to steel conveys a tangible sense of luxury. Red gold, a hue that's more subdued than yellow gold, brings a warmth that suits both formal and casual attire.

“The design of both the Navitimer and the Premier is immensely popular with collectors and newcomers,” says Breitling CEO Georges Kern. “These designs are as classic as they are universally appealing. The intricate solid red-gold cases, contrasting polished and brushed surfaces, topped with exclusive dial colors are tailored for connoisseurs, and those seeking something truly distinctive.”

Breitling Navitimer gold capsule collection

The Navitimer is the undeniable icon in Breitling's catalog, amongst the most important chronographs, and famous for being one of the longest continuously produced timepieces in watchmaking history. Initially developed in 1952 as the ideal in-flight wrist computer, with its circular slide rule and chronograph movement, it quickly became a favorite among pilots, professionals, and enthusiasts worldwide.

The Navitimer rose to prominence alongside the golden age of civil aviation, even journeying into space on astronaut Scott Carpenter's wrist in 1962. The blend of its function and distinctive look attracted not only professionals, but icons like Miles Davis, Serge Gainsbourg, Jim Clark, and Graham Hill.

Navitimer B01 41 gold capsule

This gold capsule includes three Navitimers. First, the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 41 comes with a brown dial, white subdials and distinctive circular slide rule, and case-matching red-gold logo, hands, and indexes.

The 41 mm is the smallest diameter with the Manufacture Caliber 01 and is the size of the original from the 1950s. The white date disc fits into the symmetrical 6 o'clock subdial position and blends in perfectly with its color.

As is typical for Breitling's manufacture calibers, the caseback is open, showing the movement with the red gold skeletonized rotor with its Geneva stripes. The watch features a brown alligator strap and a red-gold folding clasp.

Navitimer Automatic 36 gold capsule

The Navitimer Automatic 36 comes in a green dial with a matching outer slide rule, making for a single-color dial. It's powered by the time-only automatic Breitling Caliber 17.

The midsize 36 mm case diameter hits a sweet spot for those who'd like a smaller watch with a sleek time-only layout.

The watch is fitted to a dial-matching green alligator strap with a red gold tang-type buckle.

Navitimer 32 gold capsule

The Navitimer 32 comes in an all-brown dial, a matching outer slide rule and with subtle, elegant diamond hour markers.

It's the smallest of the three, and comes with a thermo-compensated SuperQuartz™ Breitling Caliber 77, enabling the slimmest case profile from the three at just 8 mm.

Matching the dial, the strap comes in brown alligator with a red-gold tang-type buckle. In contrast to the classic knurled bezel of the chronograph, both time-only Navitimers come with the beaded bezel—reminiscent of the very first Navitimers of the 1950s.

Breitling Premier gold capsule collection

The Premier is Breitling's heritage-inspired land-based chronograph and was born in the 1940s—considered the golden era of watch design. Launched at the end of WWII, and named in French for “the first,” the Premier was a shift from function first, to function over form—with style.

he line was launched under the founder's grandson, Willy Breitling, who had understood that Breitling timepieces should stand for a symbol of impeccable taste. The current Premier watches come in contemporary sizes, modern tech and specifications, and of course, designs cues that have been synonymous with Breitling for the better part of a century.

Breitling Premier B01 42 gold capsule

The Premier B01 Chronograph 42 comes in a navy-blue dial with red-gold hands and indexes, two subdials—one for the running seconds and one 30-minute totalizer—and a 6 o'clock date.

It's powered by the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, and naturally comes with an open caseback, showing the movement and the 18k red-gold, skeletonized Geneva-striped rotor.

Mounted onto the case is a light-brown alligator strap with a red-gold folding clasp.

Breitling Premier B09 40 gold capsule

Second is the Premier B09 Chronograph 40, with a dark green dial and red-gold hands and indexes. It comes in a more classically-sized 40 mm and a slimmer case thanks to the manually wound manufacture B09 caliber — perfect for accommodating a smaller wrist. As a manufacture caliber, the B09 is also visible through the display caseback and is seen in its full beauty with its rotor-less configuration. Strapped to the case is a dark-brown alligator strap with a red-gold folding clasp.

All five pieces have been produced in very low quantities and won't be reproduced in this configuration. The combination of iconic design, exclusive colors, and precious metals makes them appeal both to longtime Breitling enthusiasts and those looking to enter the brand with impact.

Perfectly timed for holiday gifting, these watches will be available starting early December. Preorders are open now and can be placed through your Breitling boutique.

BREITLING – LADY Premier 36 Woman Collection

 

BREITLING – Lady PREMIER 36 Woman Collection 2025

 BREITLING PRESENTS LADY PREMIER: DESIGNED TO
CAPTIVATE IN SHAPE AND COLOR

Lady Premier reimagines the brand's 1940s Premier Fantaisies models for today. Sculptural silhouettes, radiant hues, cascading diamonds, and ombré finishes come together in playful elegance. The collection captures the poise and unscripted spirit of the Lady Premier woman—honoring those who shaped the brand's past and those defining its future.

Long before men gave up their pocket watches, women had already embraced the wristwatch — and their influence has been shaping Breitling ever since. In the 1940s, Willy Breitling introduced the Premier line, elevating the chronograph from a tool of precision to an expression of style, with refined materials, elegant detailing, and even one of the first chronographs designed specifically for women. Later, his stylish and charismatic wife Beatrice would become his muse and a defining force in the brand's creative direction.

Breitling watches continued to grace confident, charismatic women through the decades — most famously Raquel Welch in the 1960s spy film Fathom. As Willy once said, “When a woman puts on her watch, her whole personality is magically transformed.”

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

That spirit lives on in the new Lady Premier collection. While it shares the dress-watch sensibility of the Premier line, Lady Premier introduces a new design language: fluid cases, ombré alligator straps, and dials that shimmer like silk. Even its name is a retro callback to Breitling's women's collections from the 1980s — think the Lady-J and Wings Lady.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

“Lady Premier is a new take on the elegant watch that's confident, feminine, and full of character, just like the woman who wears it,” says Georges Kern, CEO of Breitling.

The launch of Lady Premier rounds out Breitling's women's collection, ranging from sporty performance to this refined statement of elegance.

An expression of silhouette, shade, and surface

Inspired by the 1940s Premier Fantaisies models, its architecture nods to their avant-garde lugs and seamless case-to-bracelet flow. Pablo Widmer, Head of Product Design at Breitling explains: “Our signature style is modern retro. We started with an archival design that stirred emotion, and through updated curves, finishes, and tones, shaped it into something unmistakably up-to-date.”

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The automatic 36 mm models in stainless steel feature rich dial colors and matching alligator-leather straps in gradient shades of Aubergine, Sage, and Dove Grey. An 18k gold version is paired with a gradient Chocolate strap. The watch houses the COSC-certified Breitling Caliber 10, an automatic movement with approximately 42 hours of power reserve.

Crafted from stainless steel, the 32 mm models feature dials in mother-of-pearl, Ink Blue, and Midnight Black. They're fitted with a new tapered seven-row Chevron bracelet—its V-shaped pattern puts a feminine twist on the more linear men's Premier bracelet. Inside, Breitling's COSC-certified Caliber 77 SuperQuartz™ movement ensures flawless precision.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Diamonds cascade from lug to bezel in organic curves. On the dial, two finishing styles — satin-soleil at the center and on the rehaut, and circular brushing around the indexes — create a luminous, ever-shifting surface. Minimalist numerals, lozenge hands, and a sculptural crown complete a look that wears like jewelry.

As part of Breitling's “mission to do better,” precious materials are considered with integrity. The collection is crafted with responsibly sourced gold and traceable lab-grown diamonds.

Celebrating effortless confidence 

With Lady Premier on the wrist, confidence comes naturally. This campaign celebrates the woman who wears it — effortless, charming, and unapologetically herself. Whether she's out with friends, chasing a big idea, or taking on the city, she brings ease, elegance, and a touch of fun to everything she does.

Starring models Meghan Roche and Shahed Elnakhlawy, and surfer Mason Barnes, the campaign captures the Lady Premier woman in all her spontaneity and style.

BREITLING – Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute Scott Carpenter Centenary Platinum Edition

 BREITLING MARKS SCOTT CARPENTER’S
CENTENARY WITH PLATINUM
NAVITIMER COSMONAUTE

To celebrate 100 years since the birth of the American spaceflight pioneer, Breitling unveils the 50-piece limited-edition Navitimer Cosmonaute – the first Swiss wristwatch in space.

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

 On May 24, 1962, Scott Carpenter orbited the Earth three times as part of NASA’s Mercury-Atlas 7 mission – becoming only the second American to do so. On his wrist: a one-of-a-kind Navitimer, custom-built by Breitling for space.

Its chronograph and signature slide rule had made it an indispensable tool in the cockpit. But space called for something different. 

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Prior to his mission, Carpenter wrote to Breitling asking for a custom Navitimer with a few special modifications: a wider bezel for use with gloved hands, a stretch-metal bracelet to fit over his space suit, and, most famously – a 24-hour dial. In orbit, where the sun rises and sets every 90 minutes, this 24-hour display would keep him grounded in time.

It was a challenge that third-generation founder Willy Breitling couldn’t refuse. The result was the Navitimer Cosmonaute. Delivered just days before lift-off, it became the first Swiss wristwatch in space.

Now, six decades later, Breitling honors that era-defining journey – and the man behind it – with a platinum tribute to one of the great names in space exploration.

The new Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute Scott Carpenter Centenary celebrates 100 years since the late astronaut’s birth on May 1, 1925. The deep blue dial evokes the color of Earth as seen from space – vivid, saturated, and unforgettable – while the crisp white slide rule recalls its swirling cloud cover.

That same blue carries through to the matching alligatorleather strap, secured with a white-gold folding buckle. Limited to just 50 pieces, this edition is the ultimate tribute to Carpenter and his historic Mercury-Atlas 7 mission.

“Breitling has been part of some of the most important moments in watchmaking, but sending the first Swiss wristwatch into space is one of our proudest achievements,” said Georges Kern, CEO of Breitling. “Willy Breitling didn’t hesitate when Scott Carpenter asked for a watch built for space; he made it happen. That spirit – being innovative, taking risks, pushing limits – is how we still operate today.”

THE CENTENARY COSMONAUTE

The Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute Scott Carpenter Centenary is powered by the Breitling Manufacture Caliber B02, a manual chronograph with a 24-hour display. The handwound movement isn’t just a tribute to the original – it also performs where automatics may falter. Not essential for most, but reassuring if the next trip involves zero gravity.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The COSC-certified movement offers approximately 70 hours of power reserve and is visible through the sapphire crystal caseback. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Unique bridge engravings commemorate Carpenter with the inscriptions “Carpenter,” his capsule “Aurora 7,” “3 orbits around the Earth,” and the name of NASA’s first astronaut group “Mercury 7.” Additional caseback engravings read “First Swiss wristwatch in space,” “One of 50,” and “Scott Carpenter Centenary 1925-2025.”

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

At 12 o’clock, the dial bears the winged logo of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) – highlighting the Navitimer’s historic role as the official watch of the world’s largest pilots’ club since its development in 1952. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO    

The watch features three subdials for running seconds, chronograph minutes, and hours, along with a discreet date window at 6 o’clock. Mushroom pushers ensure smooth operation, while a bright red chronograph seconds hand enhances legibility when measuring elapsed times.

The timepiece is presented in a luxurious wooden box, with the interior marked “First Swiss wristwatch in space. May 24th, 1962.” Accompanying the display is a replica of Carpenter’s Mercury 7 name badge.

CUSTOM-MADE FOR CARPENTER

The original Cosmonaute was damaged upon splashdown. After landing 250 nautical miles (460 km) off course in the Atlantic, Carpenter spent three hours in a life raft awaiting rescue. During that time, salt water corroded the dial.

Willy Breitling replaced the watch, and the original remained in the brand’s archives – untouched and unseen – until 2022, when it made its first public appearance for the 60th anniversary of Carpenter’s mission. It was later displayed at Breitling’s Then & Now pop-up museum in Zurich as part of the brand’s 140th anniversary. Fittingly, the corrosion on the dial has taken on the appearance of a distant planetary surface.

 To celebrate the new limited edition and the final week of Breitling’s 140th-anniversary pop-up museum, a special event was held on site. There, Willy Breitling’s son Gregory – who had been just a boy when the Cosmonaute was created – shared the story. His recollections offered a rare glimpse into the decision-making, creativity, and sheer speed with which his father responded to Scott Carpenter’s request.

Though damaged, that original endures as a powerful artifact from the dawn of space exploration and a bold new direction in Swiss watchmaking. With the new centenary edition, Breitling revives a pioneering timepiece, while inviting a new generation to rediscover the spirit of adventure that carried Scott Carpenter into orbit, and into history.
