Watch special 2022
The Breitling Navitimer, an icon since 1952, has just gone through an update. But the new watch is familiar — maintaining its circular slide rule, baton indexes and notched bezel. The three chronometers on the watch face are also maintained. What has changed then? Fred Mandelbaum, who runs the popular Instagram account, @watchfred, where he showcases his private collection, elaborates. “What the design team did here, was again, go back to the history — look at the essence and the source of every component of the original watch and then reinterpret it.” The Austria-based collector of vintage chronographs is now working closely with the Breitling team on this new model.
