The Breitling Navitimer Watches of Switzerland made its exclusive US debut on Thursday, October 22, 2026: a Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 with a rich green dial, Ref. DB01381A1L1D1, and a slim ladies’ Navitimer 32 in mint green, Ref. D77320E71L1D1. Both come in a new two-tone mix of 18k yellow gold and stainless steel and are sold only through Watches of Switzerland.
The Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 ($17,500) and Navitimer 32 ($9,450), in two-tone 18k yellow gold and steel with green and mint green dials, debut in the US on October 22, 2026, exclusively at Watches of Switzerland.
The Breitling Navitimer Watches of Switzerland Exclusives
The Navitimer has carried the same essential codes since 1952: the circular slide rule, the notched bezel, the three chronograph counters, and the AOPA wings at 12 o’clock. Here the bezel and the center links of the bracelet are in 18k yellow gold, set against brushed and polished steel, and the mix does something the all-steel versions never quite pull off: it makes a tool built for pilots feel warm.
The B01 Chronograph 43 pairs that gold with a deep green dial, gilt baton indexes, and gold-toned hands and subdials. The case measures 43mm across and 13.69mm thick, and it is water-resistant to 30 meters. In my view, green is the right call for this two-tone treatment, because it reads richer than the familiar black or blue, and it lets the yellow gold look deliberate rather than flashy.
Inside is Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, the brand’s in-house, COSC-certified self-winding chronograph movement. It beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour, delivers a power reserve of approximately 70 hours, and times events to a quarter of a second across 30-minute and 12-hour counters. Turn the watch over, and the movement is on view through the sapphire caseback.
A Smaller Navitimer in Mint Green
The Navitimer 32 takes the same design language in a more jewelry-like direction. Its 32mm two-tone case frames a mint green sunburst dial with diamond hour markers, and it is water-resistant to 50 meters. Breitling’s fact sheet lists the movement as Breitling caliber 77 and gives the thickness as 13.69mm.
Of the two, my favorite is the smaller watch. The Navitimer can be a lot of watch on a slim wrist, and at 32mm, with a softer color and a fluted gold bezel in place of the chronograph’s slide rule, it keeps the character of the original while wearing like a bracelet. That gold bezel against the pale green dial is the detail that makes it.
Both models are presented on matching bracelets in stainless steel and 18k yellow gold. The Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 is priced at $17,500 and the Navitimer 32 at $9,450—ultimately, it’s a smart pairing: a classic pilot’s chronograph and its smaller counterpart, made for the same jewelry box.
