This year marks the 125th anniversary of the world-famous watch brand Breitling that has enjoy quite a repution in watch-making industry.Breitling Navitimer For Breiting 125th Anniversary is one of those significant watches born to celebrate the 125th anniversary of this brand.
In celebration of this achievement, the company created the Navitimer 125th Anniversary Watch. With this wrist watch, Breitling will only produce 2009 stainless steel versions. Additionally, an 18 karat gold version will be produced as well. To make this version extra special (and hence, much, much more valuable to collectors and hobbyists), there will only bebreitling navitimer 125 pieces produced.
To distinguish this watch from the traditional Navitimer, the traditional bracelet has been replaced with the "Air Racer" style bracelet. This distinctive looking bracelet has a "retro" look, which includes large holes. Fortunately, this look only enhances the watch's masculinity while retaining its look of elegance.
Another difference between this watch and the original is the placement of the calendar. With this watch, the date calendar is placed in the six o'clock position, resulting in a significantly cleaner look as compared to the original design.
Besides these two modifications, the watch is basically breitling navitimer worldthe same. The watch can be operated underwater up to 100 feet, it uses the Breitling 26 Caliber mechanical movement with 38 jewels, it possesses a 42 hour power reserve, and it operates at 28,800 vibrations per second.
The last significant aspect of this watch that we will discuss is the bidirectional, rotating slide rule bezel. Back when the original watch was created, many airplane navigators actually used this watch to perform complex calculations to determine their location. While no one needs this functionality anymore (very few of us don't have GPS), it is still neat of Breitling to honor aviation's heritage by keeping this outdated functionality.
