Swiss luxury watchmaker Breitling is making waves in the horology world once again with the launch of the Navitimer Perpetual Calendar, bringing its cutting-edge B19 movement to a broader audience. This marks a pivotal moment for the brand, which celebrated its 140th anniversary last year with a series of ultra-exclusive 18ct gold perpetual calendars. Now, the same elite timekeeping technology is available in a more accessible stainless steel Navitimer.
The B19 calibre is a game-changer: a perpetual calendar movement that tracks day, date, month, and moonphase while automatically adjusting for leap years and variable month lengths—one of the most coveted complications in luxury watchmaking. Breitling’s dedication to precision is evident, with the B19 undergoing extensive durability testing, including 100,000 crown winds and 60,000 shocks at 500G.
