Navitimer 8 watches are based on the designs of the Breitling
Huit Department founded by Willy Breitling in 1938. The
Department’s name refers to the eight-hour power reserve
of the dashboard instruments designed by the company. The
watches are inspired by one of Breitling’s most iconic pilot
watches, reference 768 from 1941.

The rotating bezel and triangular
hour markers attracted pilots to the watches. There’s a
strong vintage touch to this limited-edition model in everything
except how it is sold, which is thoroughly modern thanks to a
partnership with Mr Porter, a leading online retailer.
