“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.

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.

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”.

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.

“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.

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.

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.
