  • Breitling Celebrates a Powerful Partnership with the Premier Norton Edition
    BREITLING CELEBRATES A POWERFUL PARTNERSHIP WITH THE PREMIER NORTON EDITION The Breitling Premier Norton Edition is a potent representation of a partnership between two iconic brands that share intriguingly similar timelines and powerful legacies. The watch expresses the style and performance expect- ed from a maker of refined Swiss watches and a motorcycle brand renowned for its exclusive British engineering. The Breitling Premier B01 Chronograph 42 Norton famously quoted as saying: “When a man puts on his Edition celebrates the partnership between the pres- Breitling, there is the unmistakable stamp of impecca- tige watch brand Breitling and British motorcycle ble taste.” A Norton motorcycle is a similar sign of its company Norton, known worldwide for its high-per- owner’s personal flair. formance motorcycles.

  • Navitimer 01 Limited.Pdf
    BREITLING LAUNCHES THE FIRST NAVITIMER WITH A 100% IN-HOUSE MADE CHRONOGRAPH MOVEMENT Breitling combines its two long-established passions – chronographs and aeronautics – by offering the leg- end ary Navitimer model in a limited series equipped with its proprietary Caliber 01. Issued in 2,000-piece steel and 200-piece red gold editions, the “Navitimer Caliber 01” is distinguished by its slightly broader diameter and its transparent caseback providing clear views of its high-performance “motor”. An eagerly anticipated model among devotees of the brand with the winged B, and a genuine collector’s item for all connoisseurs of fine mechanical chronographs and aviation. In 2009, Breitling laid a major milestone in its history by joining the exclusive circle of the rare watch com- panies to have their own mechanical chrono graph movement. This was a logical culminating point for a brand that is one of the leaders in this compli- cation and has played a crucial role in its technical development through several key inventions: the first independent pushpiece (1915); separation of the stop/start and reset functions (1923); creation of the second independent pushpiece for zero-resetting (1934); and the launch of the very first selfwinding chronograph (1969). Caliber 01, the first movement entirely developed and produced in the Breitling workshops, was first used to power an exclusive new version of the leading Chronomat model, duly named Chronomat 01. Breitling now introduces it within another watchmaking icon, the famous Navitimer which proudly

  • Breitling Chronomat - a Short History, Part 1: the Slide Rule Chronomats
    Breitling Chronomat - a short history, part 1: The Slide Rule Chronomats Breitling Chronomat A short history to aid identification Part 1: The "slide-rule" Chronomats - 1940 to 1978 The Breitling Chronomat with its rotating slide-rule was patented in 1941 as war raged through Europe and other parts of the world, its design offering a welcome respite from the plethora of military and military-inspired watches of the period. The Chronomat's emphasis on engineering and mathematics, science and industry seemed to offer hope for a future when the war would be over and reconstruction could begin. Although often thought to be the first slide-rule wristwatch on the market, the Breitling Chronomat was in fact the second. The Mimo-Loga, a non-chronograph, was introduced during 1941 before the Breitling. The Mimo-Loga, including a later version sold under the Girard-Perregaux brand-name, is virtually unknown today. In 1952, the outstanding usefulness and success of the Chronomat inspired the birth of what has since become the most famous Breitling of all, the Navitimer, a chronograph with the slide-rule redesigned for civil aviation pilots. The Chronomat went on to be produced in many forms including a version of the first automatic chronograph watch in the late 1960s and a quartz non-chronograph during the 1970s. Then in the 1980s it was reborn in a very different form as a pilot's watch and without the slide-rule. This new incarnation was designed with input from Italian military pilots. The Chronomat has remained one of Breitling's most successful watches for over sixty years.
