This precious metal, denser than steel, enhances the sense of prestige unique to the brand, which remains faithful to its history while daring to embrace a certain modernity. The unique combinations of colors and materials, combined with finely contrasting finishes, give rise to unique pieces designed to embellish the Christmas holidays.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The Navitimer reinterpreted in red gold<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Timeless, <strong>the Navitimer has spanned the decades since 1952 and remains one of the most recognizable chronographs in watchmaking history<\/strong>. In this capsule collection, three variations highlight the diversity of its identity, while respecting the founding codes that have made it famous.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The first is the <strong>Navitimer B01 Chronograph 41<\/strong>. In this 41-millimeter version, the Navitimer retains the historic proportions of the 1950s models, while incorporating the Manufacture Caliber 01, one of Breitling&#8217;s most iconic movements. The brown dial, punctuated with white counters, dialogues with the circular slide rule and with red gold hands and indexes, perfectly matched to the case. The open case back reveals the movement, enhanced by a skeletonized red gold rotor and C\u00f4tes de Gen\u00e8ve decorations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_183503\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-183503\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-183503 size-large\" title=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-183503\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Breitling<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With a more refined look, the <strong>Navitimer Automatic 36<\/strong> features a green dial with an external slide rule.

Produced by Breitling and distributed through its network of boutiques and carefully selected partners, Gallet aims to make Swiss craftsmanship accessible to a new generation of collectors.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Universal Gen\u00e8ve will occupy the ultra-luxury segment<\/strong>, above Breitling.
