Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 41
The Navitimer's ice blue dial was also popular among men. The introduction of the colored dial moderately reduced the tool-like feel of the subdials and rotating slide rule, making it easier to match with a variety of fashions. Automatic winding (Cal. 01). 47 jewels. 28,800 vph. Power reserve of approximately 70 hours. Stainless steel case (diameter 41mm, thickness 13.6mm). Water resistant to 3 bar. Price: 1,166,000 yen (tax included).

 Although it is a men's size, the Navitimer is also popular with many women. The current model's distinctive feature is the wide range of colors added with the 2022 renewal. The rugged, tool-like feel seen in previous Navitimers has been toned down somewhat, making it more fashionable, transforming the collection into one that is popular with a wide range of people, both men and women.

 This model features an ice blue dial, a refreshing and appealing color. The three subdials and the rotating slide rule on the periphery are finished in black, giving the watch a more refined look. The pump-shaped pushers, slender lugs, and the AOPA logo at 12 o'clock give it a classic impression. The case, which is mainly satin-finished, adds a sense of calm.

 The watch is equipped with the in-house automatic mechanical chronograph movement, Cal. 01. In addition to its robust chronograph mechanism, it boasts a power reserve of approximately 70 hours and a date mechanism with no time-limit setting, making it extremely user-friendly. The see-through caseback allows you to view the chronograph's unique movements, such as the column wheel and lever.


No. 4: Chronomat Automatic 36

Breitling Women's Popularity Ranking

Breitling Chronomat Automatic 36
A simple three-hand model. While it has a dressier impression than models equipped with a chronograph, it is still highly practical thanks to its robust case that is water resistant to 10 bar and its highly functional unidirectional rotating bezel. Automatic winding (Cal. 10). 25 jewels. 28,800 vph. Power reserve of approximately 42 hours. Stainless steel case (diameter 36mm, thickness 10mm). Water resistant to 10 bar. Price: 759,000 yen (tax included).

 The Chronomat Automatic 36 from Breitling's signature Chronomat collection comes in at number four. This simple three-hand model features a warm white dial and rose gold-colored indexes and hands, creating an elegant design. The indexes are set with diamonds, which sparkle with every movement of the wrist.

 Although it is a three-hand model, the exterior is studded with iconic Chronomat design elements. The unidirectional rotating bezel features four integrated rider tabs and short, gently curved lugs. Of particular note is the Rouleaux bracelet, which combines tubular links. This bracelet evokes the original Chronomat and provides a supple fit.

 The movement is the Cal. 10, a mechanical automatic movement tuned by Breitling based on a general-purpose machine. This allows the case thickness to be kept to 10mm, making it less stressful to wear for long periods of time.

 The case is small, measuring 32mm in diameter. While the 36mm model (ranked fourth) was equipped with a unidirectional rotating bezel, this model's bezel is fixed.
