The Navitimer Squad

BEHIND THE SCENES

For over 70 years, Breitling’s original pilot’s watch has been beloved by aviators and tastemakers in equal measure. Worn by an astronaut in space and the biggest stars on Earth, it is Breitling’s most iconic timepiece. Today, the Navitimer has gone beyond being a tool used by pilots to navigate their course. It has become a symbol for all those plotting their personal journeys through life. 

Breitling celebrates this significance in the For the Journey campaign, starring the Navitimer Squad. Each member has been on an incredible journey to get to where they are today at the top of their fields. Each one has charted a course and stayed it through sheer determination. And each one is on route to achieving their next set of ambitions. Using powerful visuals and the squad members’ own narration, we get to the heart of these moving journeys.

Meet the Navitimer Squad.

Pro footballer

There’s a reason he’s called “unstoppable” on the pitch. Erling Haaland’s career isn’t measured in goals, it’s counted in braces and hat tricks. That’s as much due to his power and speed as to his textbook center-forward style of play. The footballer with Manchester City is breaking scoring records on almost a weekly basis in the Premier and Champions Leagues and is already considered one of the best players in the world. Erling shows us how you can be the best at what you do and still be completely authentic, making him a natural ambassador for Breitling’s brand of casual, inclusive luxury.

Bertrand Piccard

Aviation Pioneer Explorer

Adventure is in Bertrand Piccard’s genes. Four generations of his family have been air and sea explorers. But Bertrand’s passion is equally in exploring the challenges of our time: sustainable development, clean technologies, the fight against inequality and individual responsibility. He uses his aeronautic missions (he has circumnavigated the globe both by hot-air balloon and solar-powered aircraft) to raise public awareness and encourage political action. His dual identity as a psychiatrist and explorer has made him one of today’s leading voices for sustainable development, and his journey is one that we can all learn from.
