The Navitimer Chronometre replaces the Old Navitimer II and brings a subtle but major redesign for the flagship model: the new caliber Breitling 24 allows a dial layout that is similar to the original 1960s ref. 806. The hands too are subtly redesigned, with slightly wider lumed tapered baton hands. Dials now have applied baton indexes or lumed arabics. The threaded screw-down cases have the same tapered lugs silhouette of the vintage icons, but are slightly larger with a bezel diameter of 41.8mm. Crystals are convex sapphire glass, glareproofed on both sides.
The Navitimer Chronometre has hour and minute counters and "running seconds" in the traditional 3/6/9 layout with a date display at 4:30. The chrono sweep hand has a red arrow tip and a "script B" counterweight.
Navitimer Chronometre comes in various dial colors and also has dial variations where lumed arabics replace the redesigned applied baton hour indexes. All have red accents on both dial and the "sloped" slide rule; logo is "Breitling Wings & Anchor."
Caliber: automatic Breitling cal. 24, based on ETA 7753, COSC-certified
Case: tapered lugs, 41mm diameter
Bezel: serrated pointed notch bezel, ca. 41.8mm diameter
Dial: black/blue/chamois with contrasting subdials or tone-in-tone white at 3/6/9, applied baton hour indexes or lumed arabics, red accents on dial and slide rule
Hands: lumed wider tapered baton hands, red arrow tip chrono sweep with B counterweight
