2024 is the Year of the Dragon and the 140th anniversary of Breitling. Breitling, the leading brand in the field of navitimer, has brought us one remarkable piece after another with its exquisite craftsmanship and constant spirit of innovation. And on the occasion of its 140th anniversary, the brand commemorates this momentous occasion with a series of Navitimer watches. Among these new watches, there is one that has struck my "straight heart" with its classic design and stylish color scheme. If you are interested, let's follow the real picture of the watch house to find out. (Reference: A32310171C1A1)
Originally designed as a professional timepiece for pilots, the Breitling Navitimer was loved by pilots for their unique circular slide rule and precision timekeeping functions. With the development of technology, the usefulness of the watch has gradually diminished, but Breitling has retained the classic design that is instantly recognizable in the collection, and with modern style, the collection is not only highly practical, but also a favorite of fashionistas with its refined design and exceptional quality.
What attracted me the most about this watch was its ice-blue disc decorated with sunburst patterns, which gives the entire dial a clear luster at all times under different angles and different lighting, giving it a refreshing and cool feeling, which is perfect for wearing on a hot summer day.
In fact, this is not the only ice blue disc watch launched in the collection this year, but compared to another classic big three-hand watch, this watch with GMT function is much richer in terms of dial design. First of all, the outermost ring of the dial houses the collection's most iconic design, the circular slide rule, which is instantly recognizable as belonging to Breitling.
Unlike many GMT watches, this new Breitling GMT Navitimer features a 24-hour scale in the center of the dial and a sunken design that not only distinguishes it from the main timepiece function, but also gives the entire dial a very layered feel.
The ice-blue plate is embellished with delicate silver numerals and indexes, creating a cold yet gentle aesthetic. The top triangle of the GMT hand and the second hand are designed in blue to match the dial, making the dial design more unified and harmonious. In addition, a date window at 6 o'clock on the dial further adds to the watch's practicality.
The indexes and hour and minute hands of the new model are coated with a luminescent display, making it easy to read even in dim conditions.
Breitling's new Navitimer GMT Automatic 41 Ice Blue features a high-quality stainless steel case that has been finely polished and polished to reveal a delicate luster and smooth lines. With a diameter of 41 mm, the diameter of the case is just right to not be difficult to navigate, while retaining the sporty style of the model.
Breitling further completes the collection with a grooved bezel for a more modern look; It is alternately polished and brushed to create a vivid light and shadow effect. There are also anti-slip grooves around the crown for easy grip and time. In addition, the "B" logo representing the Breitling brand is placed at the top of the crown to increase brand recognition.
Breitling's new Navitimer GMT Automatic 41 Ice Blue is powered by the COSC-certified Caliber 32, which ensures high precision and stability. When fully wound, the movement provides the watch with a power reserve of approximately 42 hours and is water-resistant to 30 metres.
Breitling's new Navitimer GMT Automatic 41 Ice Blue is available in a variety of straps, from stainless steel to alligator leather, to reflect the wearer's unique taste.
Bottom line: The new GMT Navitimer 41 is imbued with Breitling's meticulous attention to detail and deep understanding of navitimer, from the case to the dial, from the function to the movement to the strap. And the design of the ice blue plate, but also successfully poked my "straight heart", although the official positioning it is a men's watch, but in fact, girls do not violate the harmony, but look cool and handsome, favorite cousins can go to the store to experience, I believe, whether it is a man or a woman, will be attracted by the unique charm it shows.
