The 2025 Breitling Navitimer B19 Perpetual Calendar Chronograph features an ice blue dial, a platinum bezel and a 43mm stainless steel case, with a moon phase display at 12 o'clock.
For over 70 years, the legendary Breitling Navitimer clone, with its circular slide rule, fluted bezel, and chronograph function, has been instantly recognizable. A beloved classic among collectors, the Navitimer has undergone a major upgrade, now equipped with the Breitling Manufacture B19 caliber. This movement, Breitling's first perpetual calendar, displays the day, date, month, and moon phases. With only minor adjustments, it can continue to run continuously for a full century.
The B19 caliber is the latest in a long line of Breitling movements, a journey that began in 2009 with the release of Breitling's flagship Manufacture Caliber 01, the gold standard for chronograph movements. The B19 combines Breitling's chronograph expertise with a complex calendar function that automatically corrects the calendar for leap years and the number of days in months (28, 30, or 31).Caliber B19 has undergone rigorous independent precision testing, earning it the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) certification. It has also undergone 16 years of accelerated aging testing, including 100,000 crown windings, 3,456,000 rotor rotations, and 60,000 shocks of 500G. Designed and assembled in the Breitling chronometer workshops in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, the B19 boasts an impressive 96-hour power reserve and, with minimal adjustments, promises precise timekeeping for 100 years.
