Swiss manufacturer Breitling was founded in the Swiss Jura in 1884 by Léon Breitling, a man dedicated to crafting precision chronographs and timers. Today, Breitling remains a leader in creating sturdy, reliable, and high-performance instruments that are especially beloved by those involved in air/water sports and commercial aviation. In addition to their own celebrated movements, in 2017 Breitling began coproduction of movements with the Rolex-owned brand Tudor.

The Breitling Navitimer 1 Automatic 41 Lucerne Boutique Edition timepiece is a treat in every regard. First, it is a limited-edition watch, with only 188 pieces being produced, and second, it is a self-winding automatic chronometer, which means rigorously tested accuracy is a priority.

The attractive stainless steel case measures 41 mm in diameter, 10 mm in height, and shows off a luxurious 18K rose gold bi-directionally rotating bezel.

The slate grey dial sports an alluring sunray decoration, and there is also a silver tone flange with a convenient tachymeter scale, applied stick hour markers, luminous hands, and a date window positioned at 6 o’clock.

Other case features include a screw-down engraved case back, a push / pull winding crown, a 30 m / 3 atm water resistance, and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. This watch rests upon a brown alligator leather strap with white stitching and a polished stainless steel tang buckle.

Standout feature(s): Limited-edition watch—only 188 pieces produced; rigorously tested chronometer accuracy; luxurious 18K rose gold bi-directionally rotating bezel; convenient tachymeter scale; sunray dial decoration.
