Navitimer Replica

The Navitimer is one of the easiest Breitling watches to recognise and one of the hardest to reproduce convincingly. Its identity depends on far more than a winged logo or a pair of chronograph pushers. The circular slide rule, numerous printed scales, subdial proportions and overall dial balance all contribute to the character of the watch.

This page brings together Atchesselling articles covering Breitling Navitimer replica watches and Navitimer reference details.

What Makes a Navitimer Distinctive

The circular slide rule has defined the Navitimer for generations. It gives the dial its technical appearance but also means that printing quality and alignment are particularly important.

On different references, case size, movement choice, subdial layout and date position can change considerably.

Dial and Slide Rule Details

When comparing Navitimer watches, useful details include the sharpness of the outer scale, alignment between the rotating ring and dial, thickness of the numerals and spacing around the subdials.

These details are often more informative than seller terms such as super clone or AAAAA.

Navitimer Case Sizes

Navitimers have appeared in a wide range of sizes. Diameter is important, but lug length, bezel width and case thickness also determine how a watch feels on the wrist.

Navitimer Movements

Modern Navitimer chronographs frequently appear with Breitling manufacture movements including the B01, although movement specifications depend on the exact reference.

Movement architecture can affect subdial positioning, case thickness and power reserve, making it an important part of any detailed comparison.
