Navitimer 8

Case and Material
The Breitling Navitimer 8 reference M1331410B1X1 impresses with a 43 mm satin-finished stainless steel case that perfectly combines robustness and understatement. The rotating bezel with fine fluting gives the watch a sporty touch and is both functional and aesthetic. The case is water-resistant to 100 meters and represents Breitling’s typical combination of precision, functionality, and elegant tool watch design.

Dial and Functions
The black dial features a clear and uncluttered design, in the style of Breitling’s historical onboard chronographs. It features high-contrast, white luminous hands and indices, ensuring excellent legibility. Three sub-dials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock display the chronograph functions – 30 minutes, 12 hours, and small seconds – while the date window is discreetly placed between 4 and 5 o’clock.

Strap and Clasp
The black leather strap with white contrast stitching and stainless steel pin buckle underlines the sporty-classic character of the watch. It ensures comfortable wear and harmonizes perfectly with the black dial and the matte case surface.

Movement
Inside beats the automatic Breitling Caliber 13, a COSC-certified chronometer movement with a power reserve of approximately 42 hours. It is based on the proven Valjoux 7750 and offers maximum reliability, robustness, and precision – features that solidify Breitling’s reputation as a manufacturer of professional instrument watches.

Condition and Accessories
The watch is offered with box & papers from 2019 and is in very good, well-maintained condition.

Special Features & Historical Context
The Navitimer 8 was introduced in 2018 as a tribute to Breitling’s “Huit Aviation Department” era, during which the brand developed instruments for pilots and aircraft. It marks a stylistic return to functional, minimalist design and combines the spirit of classic pilot watches with modern technology. The stainless steel version M1331410B1X1 offered here is an ideal example of this reinterpretation – sporty, elegant, and technically impressive.
