Making the Impossible Possible: The Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Tribute to Concorde Limited Edition



The Breitling Navitimer collection has a profound influence on aviation history, intricately linked to some of the most legendary aircraft in history. Now, Breitling presents a new limited edition watch that pays tribute to one of the most iconic aircraft in aviation history—the Concorde.

For over 70 years, the Navitimer collection has served multiple roles, from an essential tool for pilots to a cultural symbol. This year, Breitling will unfold the Navitimer Stories, exploring its legend from the perspectives of aviation, lifestyle, and watchmaking craftsmanship, revealing why this extraordinary timepiece remains timeless and captivating to this day.

The Concorde was born during the heyday of the jet age, a time of rapid advancements in aviation technology. It redefined the infinite possibilities of the sky, halving transatlantic flight time at twice the speed of sound and sending passengers to altitudes high enough to overlook the Earth's curvature. Nicknamed "the White Bird" for its distinctive shape, the Concorde surpassed any commercial aircraft before and since in altitude and speed. Cruising at 60,000 feet, it offered approximately 100 passengers a rare glimpse of the deep blue stratospheric landscape. This supersonic aircraft symbolized an era when the world harbored greater dreams.

This concept is revived in the newly launched Navitimer Tribute to the Concorde Limited Edition watch. Breitling's iconic pilot's chronograph, originally designed for civil aviation, now meets one of the most audacious achievements in aviation history. The fusion of these two elements—a watch born from the golden age of air travel and an aircraft that propelled commercial flight into the future—retains the classic design elements of the Navitimer collection while infusing it with the exhilarating energy of supersonic flight.

Breitling CEO Georges Kern stated, “Flying the Concorde was an unparalleled experience. Today, travel is merely a necessary step to reach one's destination, but the Concorde itself was a unique experience. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Concorde's maiden flight, it is only natural that we launch the iconic Navitimer collection as a tribute.”

The pioneering spirit of the Concorde has also shaped the Navitimer collection's inherent DNA. Today, it is a classic among collectors and is hailed as one of the greatest masterpieces in horological history. The Navitimer collection was created in 1952 specifically for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA). It is considered the first wrist-worn flight computer, with its patented circular slide rule capable of performing crucial onboard calculations. Although initially designed as a practical tool for pilots, its influence extended far beyond aviation. Astronaut Scott Carpenter wore it into space, making it the first Swiss watch to travel into space. Subsequently, it appeared on the wrists of numerous cultural icons, including F1 legends Graham Hill and Jim Clark, and musicians Serge Gainsbourg and Miles Davis. More than 70 years later, it blends a rich historical heritage with exquisite technology, while also incorporating modern innovation and style.

Paying Tribute to the 50th Anniversary of the First Flight

The Aviator Chronograph B01 Chronograph 43 Tribute to the Concorde Limited Edition features a blue dial, its hue inspired by the stratosphere as seen from the aircraft, paired with a matching alligator leather strap. Contrasting white subdials and the inner circular slide rule echo the Concorde's nickname, "The White Bird."

This timepiece is limited to 593 pieces, a tribute to the Olympus Model 593 turbojet engine that powered the Concorde. The case back is engraved with "One of 593," "Tribute to Concorde," "Jetliner," and "Mach 2," the latter representing the Concorde's supersonic cruising speed.

This limited-edition aviation chronograph tribute to the Concorde merges two aviation legends. On the 50th anniversary of the Concorde's maiden flight, this timepiece pays tribute not only to this aircraft that redefined the boundaries of flight, but also to the belief that "the future belongs to those who dream bigger."
