The Breitling Navitimer B19 Chronograph 43 Perpetual Calendar 140th Anniversary TimeForArt is the brand’s contribution to the TimeForArt auction. As of the 7th of December 2024, the Phillips New York Watch Auction takes place. Part of this auction will be for TimeForArt, an organization that supports emerging contemporary artists. A couple of brands have donated cool, one-off timepieces for this.
Breitling donates a special edition of a recently launched special edition of their famous pilot watch, the Navitimer. This TimeForArt model is a green execution of the very gold Breitling Navitimer B19 Chronograph 43 Perpetual Calendar 140th Anniversary edition. Which is also a limited edition, of 140 pieces, celebrating their 140th anniversary.
The Navitimer helps to calculate critical information
One of the unique features of the Navitimer, which was originally launched in 1954, is that one can calculate critical information with it. With its slide rule bezel, you can calculate things like fuel consumption, airspeed, flight time and distance can be calculated using the circular bidirectional slide rule bezel. Perfect information for pilots.
The “regular” Breitling Navitimer B19 Chronograph 43 Perpetual Calendar has a gold dial, which makes it a very shiny timepiece. The green on this TimeForArt edition is way more subtle. So, if you want a truly unique Navitimer with a more subtle presence, place your bids in December.
The power reserve of this Breitling Navitimer B19 Chronograph 43 Perpetual Calendar 140th Anniversary TimeForArt is 96 hours
Inside this Navitimer runs the Breitling caliber B19, which is based on the brand’s caliber B01. It’s a COSC certified automatic with a 1/4th of a second column-wheel chronograph, a perpetual calendar, and a moon phase. The power reserve is as impressive as the movement itself: 96 hours.
The watch comes on a black alligator leather strap with 18k red gold folding buckle, and the case back shows a “one of one” marking. The price estimate for this Breitling Navitimer TimeForArt edition is $ 60,000 – $ 120,000. You will also get a limited edition book about 140 years of Breitling, plus an advanced watch winder.
