Breitling Celebrates 140 Years of Horology

Breitling celebrates its 140th anniversary with limited-edition versions of its iconic Premier, Navitimer, and Chronomat models, each equipped with the groundbreaking Caliber B19.







This perpetual calendar chronograph promises nearly a century of precision without major adjustments, offering a 96-hour power reserve.


The Caliber B19, Breitling’s first perpetual calendar chronograph movement, debuts in these anniversary models, marking a new milestone in the brand’s legacy of innovation. CEO Georges Kern notes that the Premier, Navitimer, and Chronomat collections represent Breitling’s most influential designs, all now reimagined with the new movement.

Breitling's history of "firsts" includes major breakthroughs such as the first wrist chronograph with an independent pusher (1915), the modern chronograph’s dual-pusher design (1934), and the co-development of the first automatic chronograph in 1969.




The 140th-anniversary Premier B19 Datora, Navitimer B19, and Super Chronomat B19 editions feature luxurious 18k gold designs and come in a collectible suede-lined wooden box. Owners will also receive a special edition of Breitling: 140 Years in 140 Stories to commemorate the brand's illustrious journey.
