Introducing the Breitling Navitimer 46 Blacksteel

“Blacksteel” is what Breitling calls the black carbon-coated steel which some of its cases are made of, including the new Navitimer 46 Blacksteel. The model has grown to 46mm whilst its dial has been streamlined from three counters to two. But Navitimer fans need not fret: the rotating bezel still has the circular calculation scale essential to air travel.

The hour and minute hands lie in the centre of the dial whilst the seconds count down at 9. A red central seconds hand tracks the chronograph seconds, the minute counter appears at 3 and the date display at 6.

Price: 9,060 CHF
