With the Navitimer now a "core catalog" model, Breitling redesigns the cases to hold the Venus caliber 178, the high end column wheel 14 lignes chronograph caliber that powers the Premier, Chronomat and AVI model families.

Caliber: Venus 178, BOW-coded
Case: tapered lugs, ca. 40mm diameter
Bezel: small beads, ca. 40mm diameter
Dial: black, monochrome slide rule
Hands: wide lumed syringe, wide counterweight chrono sweep
