And the watch? It features a suitably robust 43mm case made from titanium which means that it will wear light on the wrist, perfect for floating free of the earth’s gravitational flow. It also has a rather technical all-black appearance with stand-out white indications providing optimum legibility and is secured firmly to the wrist with an S3 rubber strap. Breitling have equipped this exclusive model with their Calibre 73, a “thermocompensated SuperQuartzTM” movement which enables fast time zone adjustment. It is capable of timing to 1/10th of a second and has 60-minute and 12-hour totalizers with split-times (split-second hand) – perfect for timing those “parabolas” while on board the gavinwatch flights. It also features a calendar, a unidirectional ratcheted rotating bezel and is water resistant to 100m. The Calibre which provides power to this piece is officially Chronometer-certified by the COSC and Breitling say that it is ten times more accurate than standard quartz; however the new owners of this exclusive edition will perhaps be more interested in its S3 insignia on the dial and the commemorative caseback engraving as “show and tell” evidence of their unique experience. Registration for the ZeroG flights is now open. The number of Breitling’s limited editions is quite impressive. At a point that some might wonder if they are really limited ! After several Military and Avenger series, Breitling is now back on its legendary Navitimer, leaving for a minute its fied-ops passion for its natural-born flying instinct. Iconic in its classic version with a black dial, the Navitimer adopts even more exclusive colors in a limited series featuring a bronze dial. This limited edition of 1000 pieces reminds collectors of the Blue Sky edition that saw the light of day a couple of years ago for the 60th anniversary of the piece. This blue dial piece was awesome and really in touch with the fanbase, which was on demand for blue dials – not only from Breitling but from a lot of brands. The trend of blue dials started in 1969 with Breitling till it event hit recently the borders of watches, but it was an interesting added-value from Breitling to apply this colour to an aviation piece such as the Navitimer. Created in 1952, the Navitimer has asserted itself as one of the ten great 20th century watchmaking classics – and a cult object for all passionate aviaation enthusiasts. Breitling now offers this model in a 1,000-piece limited series distinguished by a bronze-colored dial – an original and refined touch that further highlights the originality of the design with its three hollowed counters and its circular slide rule designed to perform all calculations involved in airborne navigation.
