Founded in 1884, Breitling is celebrating its anniversary with a groundbreaking addition: the Caliber B19, the brand’s first perpetual calendar chronograph movement. Equipped with a full calendar and moonphase, it automatically adjusts for leap years and months of varying lengths, capable of running for nearly a century without needing a major adjustment. With an impressive 96-hour power reserve, this new caliber is making its debut in three limited-edition 140th-anniversary models, each limited to 140 pieces, representing Breitling’s icons: the Premier, Navitimer, and Chronomat.

In keeping with the brand's "140 Years of Firsts" celebrations, Breitling is unveiling an exclusive one-of-a-kind Navitimer for TimeForArt. This "One of One" 140th-anniversary piece with its distinctive green dial highlights Breitling's commitment to both innovation and style.

Originally developed in 1952 for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), the Navitimer was designed as the ultimate flight computer, combining a chronograph with a circular slide rule to perform flight calculations directly from the wrist. Its functional yet stylish design quickly attracted star athletes, musicians, and astronauts—becoming the first Swiss wristwatch in space in 1962. The TimeForArt Limited Edition showcases the famous slide rule on a green dial with black subdials, paired with an alligator leather strap and an 18k gold folding buckle.

The movement features a solid-gold rotor engraved with Breitling’s historic Montbrillant Manufactory in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, home to three generations of the Breitling family and the company’s manufacture for over 80 years.

This special edition comes in an exclusive 140th Anniversary leather watch winder with a customizable range of 300 to 12,000 turns per day. It also includes an edition of Breitling: 140 Years in 140 Stories (Rizzoli, 2024).
