BREITLING
Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Japan Edition

This Japan-exclusive model, which was introduced in 2025, features the popular black mother-of-pearl dial. It emits a mysterious and deep sparkle, like a cloud in the night sky that rises faintly in the moonlight.

In 1952, Willie Breitling developed a chronograph with a rotating slide rule on his arm that allowed pilots to perform the calculations necessary for flight.

The model became the official timepiece of the International Association of Owners and Pilots (AOPA) and became a “navigation + timer”, or “navigation timer”. In 62, astronaut Scott Carpenter had a track record of carrying it into space, and it boasts a history of being used by celebrities such as Miles Davis and Serge Gainsbourg.

This Japan-only model, released in 2025, features a black mother-of-pearl dial. The nacre is collected from mother-of-pearl oysters, and the thinly sliced nacre is like clouds in the night sky that faintly rise in the moonlight, giving off a mysterious and deep sparkle.

The dial is unified by a single tone of black, and the gold-colored hands and indexes add a delicate shine, creating a chic and glamorous contrast.

The case is made of stainless steel and measures 43 mm in diameter and 13.69 mm in thickness. The movement is equipped with the in-house automatic calibre “Breitling 01”. In addition to the accuracy of a COSC-approved chronometer, it has a power reserve of about 70 hours, and its high functionality is unparalleled. You can appreciate the mechanical modeling from the back pig with a see-through back specification.

In addition to the stainless steel breath specification in the photo, this model has an alligator belt specification in the lineup.

Breitling Introduces  an all-black Japan-only navigation timer with a shining black mother-of-pearl dial PR TIMES

“── Your own Wesco to someone else’s Wesco”.

What is “YOUR WESCO” that WESCO started last year?　Introducing the brand’s history of more than 100 years and the “essence of value” of boots, a product recycling service.

First of all, the concept of this project is clear.

“── Your own Wesco to someone else’s Wesco”.

Wesco boots are not just “shoes”. The robustness that can be worn for decades and the beauty that increases over time. Its style, which reflects the life of the person wearing it, is no longer close to a “work”. However, even the toughest boots can end up sleeping in the closet due to changes in the owner’s lifestyle, size problems, and changes in taste. Wesco carefully repairs and refines it himself and delivers it to the next owner. This quality assurance is the foundation of “YOUR WESCO”.

First, let’s introduce “Job Master 1st” as a good example. This is a 100th anniversary model, and the wooden mold used is based on the “No.5 Last”, a wooden mold from half a century ago that was accidentally discovered in the back of the underground warehouse of Wesco’s headquarters. The width of the foot (wise) is slightly narrower than that of the existing last, and the unique shape of the toe is curved, which increases its rarity.

JOBMASTER 1st Black Horsehide 10″Height #705 Vibram

Specially equipped with a lace-in zipper tailored in horsehide. The upper has a thick horsehide throughout, including the vamp part, which has been difficult to use until now. It is a pair that gives you a special feeling of the 100th anniversary model. 《7E》 363,000 yen

A place where you can reopen with masterpiece models and limited edition models.

The “YOUR WESCO” project is a place where you can rediscover classic and limited edition models that were sold in the past. I would like to summarize its appeal again.

First of all, “Reunion with a rare model”. There is a high possibility that models that are normally difficult to obtain, such as the 100th anniversary model and limited color patterns that have already been discontinued, will also be distributed, and it is also a chance to get your hands on the gems of the past again.

Also, “Reproduction by the hands of craftsmen”. At the factory of Wesco Japan, experienced craftsmen maintain each pair. Therefore, the biggest attraction is that it is not just used, but revived as “boots that have been brought to life again”.

And “Creation of Circular Value”. It is not “disposable” but an initiative to foster a boot culture that is “inherited”. If you recognize that it is a service that allows you to rediscover the preciousness of long-term use and the value of valuing things, the value of use will suddenly increase.

If you look at successive Wesco models from these perspectives, you can encounter models with high rarity and value. This is known as a rare pair called “Century Boss” and was announced in 2016 as a 100th anniversary model.

This anniversary model uses only Polish extra-thick horsehide, making it the first “all-horsehide boot” in Wesco’s history.

A Japan-only model produced to commemorate the 100th anniversary of its founding. CENTURY BOSS Black Horsehide 10″Height #700 Vibram

The highest quality horsehide with its deep tea core aging, beautiful luster, and moist texture is produced by the world’s leading horsehide tanner “Shinki Leather” in Himeji City. The extremely thick raw bark of Polish horsehide is so powerful. 10E: 363,000 yen

Style and personality that cannot be obtained with a new one.

“YOUR WESCO” is a used and consignment sales service by authorized distributors that connects the time and stories engraved on WESCO boots to the next owner. The more you wear the boots, the more you wear the unique expression of the leather, such as the color and texture, wrinkles and rubbing, and reflect the person’s way of life. The boots, which embody Wesco’s philosophy of “the existence of a lifetime,” have a style and personality that cannot be obtained with a new one.

For example, this “Goat Skin Boss” is also a pair that has acquired a dignified style and personality depending on the user.

The Goat Skin Boss, which appeared in limited quantities in the Japan market in 2015, has a special specification that has gained popularity due to its fringe-like 5-inch long top strap, which was not usually available for custom at the time, which had a big impact. In addition, the sole was originally chosen for a white sole, but by changing to black, the overall sole, it has been tightened and evolved into a more fearless impression.

At “YOUR WESCO”, all boots are sold through official channels, and professional staff evaluate and grant guarantees to eliminate concerns about authenticity and quality. Although it is used, it provides reliable peace of mind and value, so it functions as a place for users who want to let go of their boots to properly evaluate them and entrust them to new owners. It can be said that it is a place where “story inheritance” is realized beyond mere transactions.
