Introducing the new Breitling Navitimer B19: A refined, non-limited edition

A new blue dial

Last year, Breitling made a major move by rolling out the Navitimer B19 perpetual calendar chronograph in three limited-edition variations. These models marked a special moment in Breitling’s books—the brand’s 140th anniversary. Apart from the stylish dials, these timepieces stood out due to the rose gold bezel, which was accentuated by other rose gold elements.

Breitling went back to the drawing board and worked on another version — one that isn’t a limited edition.

While the 2025 edition is made from stainless steel, the bezel is made from platinum. Breitling used a subtle bluish color on the dial, which blends perfectly with the platinum bezel. Just like the previous model, the 2025 edition also comes with four different subdials, positioned at 12 o’clock, 6 o’clock, 3 o’clock, and 9 o’clock.

While the three subdials at 3 o’clock, 6 o’clock, and 9 o’clock have a light blue hue, the moonphase at 12 o’clock adds to the whole look with a dark blue color.

The good thing about this new model is that it offers two different strap options: a black strap and a stainless steel one. Obviously, the stainless steel strap complements the casing and gives the front face an interesting finish.

Even though the new Navitimer B19 has an interesting aesthetic, it’s equipped with a high-quality movement, which takes things to the next level. At the heart of the watch, there’s a new gen caliber, popularly known as the B19 movement, which can deliver a 96-hour power reserve.

The 2025 Breitling Navimeter B19 is priced at $29,000 when paired with a strap. The stainless steel option, on the other hand, is offered at $29,500.

Breitling scott carpenter platinum watch

Sixty-three years after Scott Carpenter circled Earth, a custom Breitling Navitimer sat on his wrist. The Swiss maker now honors him with a platinum watch, which has a limited run. The Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute Scott Carpenter Centenary observes the American pilot's 100th birthday—it also recalls the story of the first Swiss watch to leave Earth's air.

On May 24, 1962, Carpenter became the second American to circle Earth. He flew as part of NASA's Mercury-Atlas 7 mission. A special Navitimer was on his wrist. Breitling altered it for space travel. The work began with a personal letter from Carpenter—he requested specific changes. He wanted a wider bezel for gloved hands and a stretch metal band for his space suit. Most notably, he asked for a 24-hour dial. In orbit, sunrise and sunset happen every 90 minutes. A regular 12-hour display does not show time well there.
