Breitling has a significant contribution to the world of luxury watchmaking.
The brand introduced its first-ever watch with non-dependant chronograph pushers in 1923.
However, Breitling launched a watch with a second pusher in 1934. It enabled the wearer to reset the function of a stopwatch to zero, thereby creating the first contemporary chronograph.

Breitling and the Navitimer
Breitling introduced the Navitimer in 1952 as the first wrist time-telling device designed exclusively for aviation.
- The Navitimer was the ultimate tool watch that sported all tools pilots required while flying.
- However, the watch incorporated advanced functionality to take in-flight measurements or perform intricate calculations.
- The Breitling Navitimer housed the Valjoux 72 movement during its first year of production.
Later, the watch was equipped with the Venus 178, followed by the popular Calibre 11 automatic movement.
The Breitling Navitimer B03 Chronograph Rattrapante 45
The new Navitimer Rattrapante 45 is ideally the most impressive watches Breitling has ever manufactured.
- The Swiss brand fitted the watch with an exquisite 18ct red gold 45mm case.
- Moreover, it is powered by the brand's split-second Manufacture Calibre B03 movement.
- The term "Rattrapante" refers to one of the most revered complications of watchmaking.
It uses two central superimposed chronograph hands for measuring two lapsed times simultaneously.
The Dial
The new Breitling Navitimer Rattrapante 45 features a Stratos Grey dial and the signature Navitimer's slide rule bezel.
- However, the watch also flaunts a unique feature.
- The dial comes with Breitling's classic B along with an anchor symbol logo, split between the split-seconds hand and the red chronograph hand.
The logo looks intact when the two hands on the dial are aligned.
Other Features
The new Navitimer Rattrapante 45 features the date window in the middle of 4 o'clock and 5 o'clock.
However, the brand housed the split-seconds pusher inside the winding crown at the three o'clock position.
The split-seconds pusher stops and restarts the split-second hand. Eventually, the user can track the split times as well as the split times of many competitors.
Moreover, this new watch comes on a sophisticated black alligator strap.
The Movement
Breitling produces the Manufacture Calibre B03 at its Chronometrie factory in Switzerland's La Chaux-de-Fonds.
- The movement is visible through the transparent sapphire case back of the watch.
- However, the Calibre B03 offers an incredible power reserve of nearly 70hours.
