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.

Luminox’s new Adventure Watch trades tactical black for a weathered, vintage look
The Swiss brand's latest field watch wears a pre-aged "IP Antique" finish and leather straps, priced at $795.
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Luminox usually builds watches that look ready for a covert night operation — but its newest one looks ready for a 1950s expedition instead.

The Pfäffikon, Switzerland–based brand just dropped the Adventure Watch, a field watch styled after the timepieces of the early exploration days but built to Luminox's modern military-grade standards.

What sailors in the Race to Mackinac, America’s oldest freshwater race, wear on their wrists
The race from Chicago to Mackinac Island is a days-long battle against the Great Lakes. In that kind of contest, you need a watch as tough as the job.
Boat, Sailboat, Transportation

The Race to Mackinac has been run since 1898, when five boats set out from Chicago. Today it covers 333 statute miles up Lake Michigan, crosses into Lake Huron at the Straits of Mackinac, and finishes off Mackinac Island — and it is not an easy voyage. It is also not a gentle one. Sustained gales flattened big chunks of the fleet in 1911, 1937, and 1970, and after a deadly storm in 2011, the Mac's reputation for danger stopped being theoretical. The fastest boats finish absurdly quickly now, with an all-time record of 18 hours and 50 minutes set back in 1998, but most crews are out there for two or three nights. The sailors alternate, sleeping in shifts of four hours each, until they (hopefully) make land.

It might seem tough to imagine doing that once — now, try doing it two dozen more. For those who make the journey at least 25 times, the prize is entry into the Island Goats Sailing Society, founded in 1959 and now several hundred strong. Rack up 25 Chicago Macs and 25 from Port Huron, and you become a Double Goat. The nickname, as the story goes, comes from the aroma a crew carries after days at sea with no shower. All things considered, this is a tough, electric, occasionally dangerous race. The Chicago Yacht Club hosts the race annually in mid-July, and that's exactly where I went to look at watches.

Luminox goes full stealth with a new all-steel Navy SEAL Foundation watch
The blacked-out new release swaps the brand's usual straps for a matching IP Gun steel bracelet.
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Luminox built its name on lightweight, strap-bound tool watches. Now, it's trying a slightly different tack.

The Swiss-made, American-founded brand just added a fully blacked-out, all-steel model — the XS.3228.NSF — to its Navy SEAL Foundation 3220 Series, a collaboration that dates back to 2020.
