Breitling Navitimer B19 Chronograph 43 Perpetual Calendar Platinum LB19211A1C1P1

A new era of complication for a Breitling icon To create the next-generation Navitimer, Breitling preserved the most recognizable aspects of the icon's design code. From a distance, even in its mechanical complexity, this is unmistakably a Navitimer, with its circular slide rule, baton indexes, trio of chronograph counters and notched bezel for easy grip. Up close, however, its modern refinements and high complication come through loud and clear. For Breitling's 140th anniversary, the Grenchen maker introduced the Caliber B19 — its first exclusive perpetual calendar chronograph movement. The milestone achievement now powers this special-edition Navitimer, a watch with its own legendary history. First created in 1952 for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), the Navitimer was designed for precision in the cockpit, combining a chronograph with Breitling’s patented circular slide rule. Pilots swore by its flight-computer functionality, but its appeal soon extended beyond aviation — to star athletes, musicians, and even astronauts. In 1962, it became the first Swiss wristwatch in space. This edition bridges past and future: the classic lines of the legendary Navitimer with the remarkable ultra-modern B19 movement—an automatic chronograph with a perpetual calendar. A watch built from heritage, made for today.
