PRODUCTION SPAN: 1995-1998

One of the rarest and most valuable versions of the Navitimer comes in that small 38mm bezel case again, holding a marvel of horology: a rattrapante (or split-second) chronograph caliber. The first and slimmest automatic caliber of that kind, it's based on a Frederic Piguet cal. 1186. The Navitimer Rattrapante 34030 comes in precious metals only, either white gold (J), rosé gold (H) or platinum (L) versions.

Navitimer Rattrapante has hour and minute counters and "running seconds" in a 6/9/12 layout and a date display at 4:30; hands are lumed tapered baton with dual chronograph sweep hands, one with a script B, the other an anchor counterweight.

Dials of the Navitimer Rattrapante come in blue or black with applied arabic hour indexes. All have red accents on both dial and "sloped" slide rule. The logo is the Breitling Wings & Anchor.
