About this watch
The Breitling Navitimer Big Case 1806 is an iconic timepiece that embodies the spirit of innovation and combines vintage charm with modern functionality. Its substantial presence, measuring 49.00 mm in diameter and 16.00 mm in height, commands attention. The round stainless steel case shines brilliantly, while the black dial with stick and dot indexes provides a stark contrast, making it easy to read at a quick glance. The standout feature of this watch is undoubtedly its sliderule bezel, which allows wearers to perform various calculations directly on their wrist. Underneath its robust exterior lies the heart of the watch: the Chronomatic Group caliber Chronomatic 12 movement. This automatic movement winds itself as you wear it, ensuring no battery replacements are needed. With a power reserve of 42 hours and separate sub-dials for seconds and minutes, this chronograph is perfect for timing events. The Navitimer Big Case 1806 also boasts a sturdy lug width of 24.00 mm, allowing it to sit comfortably on the wrist. Its black leather strap enhances both comfort and style, making it suitable for formal and casual settings. Although not designed for deep-sea diving, this watch can handle splashes and brief exposure to water. Its versatility is one of its most appealing aspects, seamlessly transitioning from a casual outfit to formal attire.
