The Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Signature collection is a series limited to 100 watches, featuring a delightful midsize format of 43 mm and meets the needs of customers for whom the 46 mm size is too bulky and the 41 mm is too compact. The Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Signature collection was photographed by still life specialist DIRK WEYER for WEMPE.
Technically, this pilot’s chronograph is driven by Breitling’s popular self-winding manufacture caliber B01, which is considered a high-performance engine featuring an impressive power reserve of up to 70 hours and COSC chronometer certification. Visually, the dial in particular catches the eye: While Breitling’s Navitimer models have hitherto been multicolored, this version is marked by a surprising uniform appearance in indigo blue and, at a closer glance, reveals the attention to detail which Wempe and Breitling share.
