Breitling Old Navitimer Blue Dial

The Breitling Navitimer A13322, often referred to by enthusiasts as the Old Navitimer II, represents a pivotal era in aviation watchmaking. Since its debut in 1952, the Navitimer has been the quintessential tool for pilots, and this specific reference captures that heritage with a contemporary “neo-vintage” feel.

The standout feature of this model is its mesmerizing blue dial. Unlike the standard black variants, the blue dial offers a refined, sporty elegance that shifts beautifully under different lighting conditions. The classic tri-compax layout (12, 6, and 9 o’clock) provides a balanced aesthetic, while the date window at 3 o’clock ensures daily practicality. Protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating, the dial remains legible even in the high-glare environments of a cockpit.

Under the hood, the A13322 is powered by the Breitling Caliber 13. This automatic, self-winding movement is a certified chronometer, ensuring it meets the highest standards of Swiss precision. With a 42-hour power reserve and a frequency of 28,800 vph (vibrations per hour), it is built for durability and long-term performance.
