The history of this Breitling Navitimer 32
The original Navitimer saw the light of day in 1952 under the impetus of Willy Breitling to meet the mathematical requirements of aeronautical pilots. Initially designed as a pure flight instrument with its famous circular slide rule, it has evolved over the decades to fit new wrists. With the reference A77320D91K1P1, Breitling has taken the bold step of removing the chronograph function and the slide rule, retaining only the graphic essence of the icon, namely its circular-grained bezel. This variation transforms the military tool into a delicate timepiece while preserving its heritage.
Case, calibre and strap of this Navitimer 32
This model is distinguished by its stainless steel case with a diameter of 32 mm and a thin thickness of 8 mm. The signature circular-grained bezel frames a genuine pink mother-of-pearl dial whose iridescence varies according to the light. The watch's dial is enhanced by 12 diamond-set hour-markers that add a subtle sparkle beneath the domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment. The central red seconds hand is a discreet reminder of the on-board instruments. The watch is powered by Calibre 77, a chronometer-certified thermocompensated SuperQuartz movement with a battery life of around 3 to 4 years and 3 jewels. It is water-resistant to 50 metres. It is worn on a pink alligator leather strap with tone-on-tone stitching and distinctive yellow lining, fastened by a polished steel pin buckle.
