“Navitimer Automatic GMT 41 Samurai Japan Limited”

The pilot’s watch, the Navitimer, with its patented rotating slide rule, has been an icon of Breitling for more than 70 years. Keeping the design code intact, a limited edition model was announced as a special timepiece to honor “Samurai Japan”, the Japanese national baseball team.

Breitling “Navitimer Automatic GMT 41 Samurai Japan Limited” Ref.A323103A1C1A1
Automatic winding (Cal. Breitling 32). 25 stones. 28,800 vibrations per hour. Power reserve approx. 42 hours. SS case (diameter 41 mm, thickness 11.65 mm). 3 ATM water resistance. Limited to 100 pieces in Japan.

The base is the “Navitimer Automatic GMT 41”. By replacing the chronograph with a GMT function, it retains the tool-like character but has a simple look. The dial incorporates Samurai Japan’s team color, deep indigo, and the red GMT hand reminiscent of the Japanese flag expresses the passion of the samurai fighting against the world.

As a special specification, the caseback is engraved with the “SAMURAI JAPAN” emblem and “ONE OF 100” to indicate a limited edition of 100 pieces.

The 41mm diameter case is equipped with a Cal. Breitling 32 with a power reserve of approximately 42 hours. In addition, a seven-strand bracelet or alligator strap is available as a variation, and both come with a special brown leather-like box with the Samurai Japan logo printed on it.

“Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 ASTON MARTIN ARAMCO FORMULA ONE™ TEAM”

This year, Breitling became the official watch partner of British luxury automaker Aston Martin and its Formula 1 team, the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team. Navitimer has also announced a limited edition model to commemorate the signing of this partnership.

Breitling “Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 ASTON MARTIN ARAMCO FORMULA ONE™ TEAM” Ref.EB01381A1B1X1
Automatic (Cal.01). 45 stone. 28,800 vibrations per hour. Power reserve approx. 70 hours. Ti case (diameter 43 mm, thickness 13.69 mm). 3 ATM water resistance. Limited to 1,959 pieces worldwide. 1,562,000 yen (tax included).

This collaboration watch is a testament to the embodiment of the two men’s shared philosophy of “speed” for more than a century. The dial is made of carbon fibre, inspired by the cockpits of F1 cars. By applying phosphorescent paint to the display part, including the needle, index, and slide rule, the legibility is improved. The case also features a performance-oriented design throughout the watch, with titanium material, also found in F1 cars, being used for the first time as a navitimer.

The sporty color palette combines the “Aston Martin Racing Green” dial with lime-colored chronograph hands, making it attractive.

It is equipped with Breitling’s core movement, the Cal.01. In addition to combining high accuracy certified by COSC and a power reserve of about 70 hours, it boasts excellent practicality by eliminating the prohibited operation time of the calendar. In addition, only 1959 copies of this work will be produced and sold, which is a tribute to the year Aston Martin first entered F1.

The transparent back reads “Instruments for Drivers” and a matte black rotor with the team logo engraved on it.

“Top Time B01 Racing Kamen Rider Limited Edition”

The “Top Time B01 Racing” recreates the bold design of the 1960s and will be revived in 2025. This racing chronograph, which expresses the atmosphere of the free-spirited era, also features a Japan-limited model. This is a special collaboration piece to commemorate the 55th anniversary of the start of airing of the eternal hero “Kamen Rider”.

Breitling “Top Time B01 Racing Kamen Rider Limited” Ref.AB01774A1B1X1
Automatic (Cal.01). 34 stone. 28,800 vibrations per hour. Power reserve approx. 70 hours. SS case (diameter 38 mm, thickness 13.07 mm) Water resistance to 10 ATM. Limited to 155 pieces in Japan. 1,255,100 yen (tax included).

This work, which will be produced in honor of the anniversary, expresses the world view of Kamen Rider while retaining a vintage look.

The dial features a powerful coloring with a black base and red accents. The unique layout of the two rounded indials is surrounded by an oval-shaped dashboard motif. In addition, the Kamen Rider emblem is placed on the small seconds at 9 o’clock, and the words “LE HEROS ETERNAL” are written in French instead of the tachymeter letters, and special details are subtly incorporated throughout.

On the back side of the cushion-type case, you can see the silhouette of Kamen Rider’s favorite car “Cyclone” and the engraving “ONE OF 155”.

The cushion-shaped case with a diameter of 38 mm is equipped with the Cal.01, the brand’s first in-house developed movement. As mentioned above, it has excellent accuracy and a power reserve of about 70 hours, and in contrast to its classic appearance, its performance is modern.

“Navitimer B19 Chronograph 43 Perpetual Calendar”

As a new version of the Navitimer, a complication with a built-in in-house perpetual calendar chronograph movement is also shown. Inspired by the “extreme altitudes” and “high altitudes (substratosphere)” challenged by pilots, this masterpiece is a collection of the best of the brand’s watchmaking.

Breitling “Navitimer B19 Chronograph 43 Perpetual Calendar” Ref.LB19211A1C1P1
Automatic (Cal. B19). 39 stone. 28,800 vibrations per hour. Power reserve approx. 96 hours. Pt case (diameter 43 mm, thickness 14.94 mm). 3 ATM water resistance. Limited to 75 pieces worldwide. 8,360,000 yen (tax included).

In addition to the world’s limited edition of 75 pieces using platinum for the case and bracelet, a stainless steel model with a platinum bezel will be available. For the latter, you can opt for a traditional seven-row bracelet or a blue alligator strap.

Platinum model with deep blue lacquer dial, stainless steel× Ansula on platinum modelThe sight-colored dial is combined. The former represents the view from the stratosphere, while the latter represents the tranquility of the universe and is topped with contrasting white or pink gold displays.

The dial encompasses complex information such as the perpetual calendar and moon phase, as well as the chronograph and rotating slide rule. The three sub-dials display the 30-minute counter and date at 3 o’clock, the month and the year elapsed from the leap year at 6 o’clock, and the small seconds and day of the week at 9 o’clock. Two hands of different lengths and shades are placed on each of them to make each information easier to read.

The Cal.B19 is an in-house movement developed to commemorate the brand’s 140th anniversary. In addition to its high accuracy with a COSC-certified chronometer, it boasts a long power reserve of approximately 96 hours. In addition, the operability of the perpetual calendar has been thoroughly investigated, and the display can be operated at once with a one-step correction system by the crown, and individual adjustments can be made by pushers on the case side.

From the Transformer’s Back, in addition to the elaborate mechanism, you can watch the rotation of the 18-carat red gold solid rotor with open work. In addition, only solid platinum models will have the words “ONE OF 75” engraved on the caseback.

“Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Tribute to Concorde”

As a new navitimer equipped with Cal.01, a special limited edition is also on the list to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first flight of the supersonic passenger aircraft “Concorde”. It is a model that expresses deep respect for the “Loiseaublanc (White Bird)”, which flew at twice the altitude (60,000 feet) of a typical passenger plane and crossed the Atlantic Ocean at Mach 2.2.

Breitling “Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Tribute to Concorde” Ref.AB01389C1C1P1
Automatic (Cal.01). 47 stone. 28,800 vibrations per hour. Power reserve approx. 70 hours. SS case (diameter 43 mm, thickness 13.69 mm). 3 ATM water resistance. Limited to 593 pieces worldwide.

As a special specification in this watch, a dark blue dial is used, reminiscent of the color of the deep sky seen from the stratosphere. In contrast, the subdial and slide rule incorporate white, which is inspired by the nickname “White Bird”, creating a striking contrast and an expression reminiscent of a Concorde flying in the stratosphere.

The bezel is made of platinum, which, combined with the navy blue alligator strap, gives it a discreet yet elegant look.

The caseback is transparent. In addition to the engraving derived from the Concorde engine, which indicates a limited edition of 593 units, special notations such as “Mach 2” and “JETLINER” can be seen to indicate the maximum speed.

“Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaut Artemis II”

The Cosmonaut was created in 1962 at the request of astronaut Scott Carpenter and is a milestone that symbolizes the brand’s relationship with space. As the first new product in 60 years, the “Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaut Artemis II” was announced.

Breitling “Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaut Artemis II” Ref.AB02307A1C1P1
Hand-wound (Cal.B02). 39 stone. 28,800 vibrations per hour. Power reserve approx. 70 hours. SS case (diameter 41 mm, thickness 13 mm). 3 ATM water resistance. Limited to 450 pieces worldwide. 1,661,000 yen (tax included).

This game is based on a navigation timer that combines a rotating slide rule and a chronograph, but is designed to display the time in a 24-hour display. This is a specification that enables day and night distinction in satellite orbit, which repeats sunrise and sunset as many as 16 degrees a day, and has been inherited from the first Cosmo Note.

In addition, this work uses a new “Galaxy Blue” dial made of meteorite material. This is a utilization of the “Widmannstetten structure” created by etching meteorites, and all 450 meteorites have a blue hue reminiscent of space and a unique pattern.

The three subdials with small seconds and totalizers, as well as the rotating slide rule and AOPA wing logo, are faithful to the basic design code of the navitimer. As an accent to enhance legibility, the chronograph hands and key points of the scale are colored red.

From the transparent back, you can observe the drive of the in-house hand-wound movement Cal.B02 through the logo print of the “Artemis II Mission”. The words “Artemis II” and “One of 450” were engraved on the edges of the case, adding to the special feeling.

Elegantly coloring your winter Japan-only special “Kare” New from “Classic Kare” to Mother-of-Pearl

Since its founding in Geneva, Switzerland, Frederique Constant has continued to expand its popularity by providing high-quality watches at reasonable prices. The most popular collection is the “Classic Carré” square clock.

This winter, a Japan-limited model using mother-of-pearl (mother-of-pearl) on the entire dial is now available in two sizes. The classic and elegant design stands out even more, and the finish is likely to accelerate the popularity of the collection once again.

I would recommend it to those who want a dress watch that stands out from the crowd, as well as couples looking for a pair watch that will look great during the glamorous holiday season.

No other brand in the Swiss luxury watch industry has grown as rapidly as Frédéric Constant in such a short period of time.

It was founded in 1988. Entrepreneur Peter Stars and his wife Aletta Stars started in Geneva with the concept of “providing high-quality Swiss-made watches at a fair price”.

The reason why this brand has been able to increase its fans at an accelerated pace is partly because it has stubbornly maintained this concept when it was founded.

In 2004, the first movement developed entirely in-house was announced. It has now become one of Geneva’s leading manufacturers, which develops and manufactures movements in-house. Since then, it has continued to provide high-quality watches at a price range that is affordable for everyone. The same goes for machines equipped with ultra-complex movements such as tourbillons and perpetual calendars. Now that the price of luxury watches continues to rise year by year, it is only natural that the brand is gaining support.

Left) The company’s factory in Prale-Vat, a suburb of Geneva, the center of the Swiss watch industry where watch brands gather. We have a system in place for the process from design to development, assembly, and quality control.

Right) “Frederick Constant Boutique Tokyo” opened in Ginza, Tokyo in the fall of 2023. In the fall of 2023, the 35th anniversary of the company’s founding, it opened its first flagship store in Japan in the “Citizen Flagship Store Tokyo” on the first floor of the commercial facility “GINZA SIX” in Ginza, Tokyo.

Another factor that supported Frederick Constant’s breakthrough was the elegant and beautiful design. We do not work on models with excessive decorations that show off their status or rugged sports models that prioritize function. We only offer models with a classic and elegant taste that will impress those around you. For those who are looking for a watch that they can keep with them for many years, this should also be a big attraction.

In the fall of 2023, they will open Japan’s first flagship store, “Frédéric Constant Boutique Tokyo,” in Ginza, Tokyo (top and center). In the midst of the sluggish demand for luxury watches around the world, it is a hot topic because many watch fans visit every day (for details, why did Frederick Constant succeed in Ginza?).　See “Affordable Luxury” that can be experienced in Ginza, an adult city). In addition to the high cost performance, this will also have a great power of quiet luxury and a design that matches the times. If you want a quality watch that can show off your subtle sophistication on the cuffs, you should look no further than Frédéric Constant.

Among Frédéric Constant, the most popular collection for both men and women right now is the “Classic Carré”. As mentioned above, the brand has always focused on classic and elegant designs that are familiar with suits and jacket styles.

Of course, the “Classic Carre” born in 2003 follows such a line, but the biggest feature is that the case is square (= Carre: meaning square shape in French). In the past and now, the mainstream watch case is round. That’s why many people choose this collection as a watch that can assert its individuality without losing its elegance.

Although the square shape tends to give a sharp impression, the “Classic Carré” case has a curve that follows the wrist and the edges are gently rounded. The synergy with the plump onion-shaped crown gives it a somewhat soft impression, which is probably a factor in its popularity.

This winter, a new Japan-limited model that is likely to further increase the number of owners of such a “classic boyfriend” has appeared in two types (pictured above). The size is 38.7×30.7mm for the “Classic Carre Automatic” and 23×21mm for the “Classic Carré Ladies”. Both are made of white mother-of-pearl (mother-of-pearl) with a beautiful silky luster, adding to the elegance and luxury. It is inevitable that it will attract attention as a more special “classic boyfriend”. From the next chapter, I would like to delve deeper into its charm and introduce it.

Men’s: blouson 119,900 yen (AM/HJM TEL 03-6434-0885), knit 61,600 yen (Dolmore/Bind PR TEL 03-6416-0441) Women’s: Knit 30,800 yen, shirt 16,500 yen (both Ships/Ships Information Center TEL 0120-444-099), earrings 15,400 yen, Breath 16,500 yen (both Adawat Touareg / The Edit Store info@editandcoltd.co.jp)

When you look at the new Japan-only “Classic Carre”, the first thing that catches your eye is the luxurious use of mother-of-pearl. Using a single plate on the entire dial, you can fully enjoy the characteristics of mother-of-pearl that mysteriously changes color and shine depending on the angle of view.

The mother-of-pearl dial blends perfectly with the Art Deco and elegant “Classic Carré” design

Perhaps because it is originally a material used in jewelry, the Art Deco design of “Classic Carré” also seems to stand out even more. The spade-shaped hour hands, leaf-shaped minute hands, large Roman numeral indexes, and railway scales on the inside and outside of the dial are also in perfect harmony with the beautiful details of the dial.

Suit 176,000 yen (Tagliatore/Tremets TEL 03-5464-1158), shirt 35,200 yen (Guy Rover), Chief 4,950 yen (Ships/Ships Information Center TEL 0120-444-099), Thailand 24,200 yen (Stefano Cow/Dolmore/Bind PR TEL 03-6416-0441)

Some people may think that using mother-of-pearl will limit the opportunities to wear it to parties, but of course, with this watch, you don’t have to worry about that. It can be used in any situation.

Square watches also have the effect of making the person look intelligent, so if you use them at work, they will appeal to “business people who can do it”. If you match it with a casual style on a holiday, it will finish your style elegantly.

Coat 308,000 yen (John Smedley/Lee Mills Agency TEL 03-5784-1238), blouse 22,000 yen (Audire/info@audire.jp), earrings 29,800 yen (Mana Rosa Jewel/Mana Rosa manarosajewel@gmail.com)

Perhaps as a reaction to the long-standing luxury sports watch boom, the popularity of simple dress watches has recently been rekindled. If you’re looking for a standout piece among them, Frederick Constant’s Japan-limited “Classic Carré” should be a definite choice.

Perhaps because of its popularity, the “Classic Carré” collection is often originally purchased as a pair watch. However, in the conventional lineup, the sentence is different in size.The design and color of the dial could not be perfectly matched.

In that sense, this Japan-limited model can be said to be special. The “Classic Carré Automatic” and “Classic Carré Ladies” have a perfectly linked dial design with or without a date display. If you are looking for a pair of watches that will be a testament to your strong bond, this is also a great point.

Jacket 253,000 yen (Tagliatore/Tremezzo TEL 03-5464-1158), Knit polo 63,800 yen (John Smedley × Ships), Chief 6,050 yen (Ships/Both Ships Information Center TEL 0120-444-099)

Both models have a stainless steel case with white mother-of-pearl and color tones, as well as a rose gold plated case. Combined with the mysteriously shimmering mother-of-pearl, it has a much more gorgeous atmosphere. If the two of you wear this to a stylish restaurant, it will be even more romantic.

Knitted blouson 42,900 yen (Lappin Knot/Umedanit TEL 0250-42-3945), dress 108,900 yen (Gentry Portofino/Wooln Shokai TEL 03-5771-3513), earrings 154,000 yen (1P) (Mayuko/contact@mayuco-jewelry.com), bangle 19,800 yen (Mana Rosa) Jewel/Mana Rosa)

Of course, it is interesting for a couple to change the color of the case, such as a stainless steel case for a man and a rose gold plate case for a woman. The time spent considering which color case would look good in the store itself is likely to be an important memory for the two of you.

During the holiday season, which is full of events, we hope you will go out to the city with this Japan-only “Classic Carre” and have a wonderful time.

*The color may vary.
