BREITLING
Old Navitimer Japan Edition Ref.A13324
The epitome of pilot watches
The company's model, which has supported many pilots by installing a rotating slide rule in the wristwatch, is now producing models suitable not only for the sky but also for "land" and "sea".
It is a brand that attracts attention with its rugged design derived from military, and is highly popular among men.
Here are some representative models from Breitling.
・Navitimer
The first one is Navitimer.
BREITLING
Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Japan Edition
Ref.AB0121(AB0121A11B1A1)
It is a representative model of Breitling and first appeared in 1952.
The main features are the chronograph and the meter attached to the bezel called a rotating slide rule.
BREITLING
Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Black MOP Japan Edition
Ref.AB0121211B3A1
The memory attached to the bezel is a rotating slide rule
Since the first generation, it has been equipped with three in-dials and a rotating slide rule, and that design continues today.
This rotary slide rule can be used for various measurements, so it was a must-have item for pilots until now.
The current model is equipped with the Breitling 01 manufacture movement, which boasts reliable accuracy and durability.
Some models have a skeleton on the back
There is also a 3-needle model, but the chronograph is still popular for the Navitimer, and there are many dial colors available, and there are several sizes available.
In addition, the design allows you to use it as a leather belt or bracelet, so you can use it according to the season and situation, so I think it will be a model that you can use for a long time.
There is also a D buckle type, so you can customize it to your liking.
As a budget range, it starts from about 500,000 yen, but depending on the year and model, it may be less than 400,000 yen.
Please try to find the combination that suits you.
・Chronomat
The second one is Chronomat.
BREITLING
Chronomat 44MOP Japan Limited
Ref.AB0111(AB01111A/BF68)
Chronomat features a large case.
The basic size of the current product, whose design was changed in 2020, is 42mm, and before that, it has a case diameter of 44mm, which is slightly larger than a normal watch.
BREITLING

BREITLING
Chronomat B01 42
Ref.AB0134

BREITLING
Chronomat 44
Ref.AB011110/BA50
Approximately 17mm, thickness of the best part
Among them, the most popular is the Roman index on the shell dial.
The shell dial uses MOP (mother-of-pearl), which is made from shells that produce pearls.
For that reason, the pattern is different one by one, so it is also a nice point that there is no exactly the same watch.
BREITLING

Chronomat is available from the 400,000 yen range as a budget range.
The new and popular shell dials will be a little more expensive, but even so, it will be an affordable price for the impact of 600,000 yen.
Most of the products can be paid in installments with interest-free shopping loans, so you can purchase them at a great price.
・Super Ocean
The third is Breitling's diver's watch series called Superocean.
BREITLING
Super Ocean Heritage II Ocean Conservancy
Ref.A13313(A275G-1CBA)
Breitling specializes in chronographs and pilot's watches, but it's no surprise that its sea watches are no exception.
The current Superocean adopts a design inspired by the original Superocean released in the 1950s, and the name is crowned with heritage (a word that means tradition, etc.).
BREITLING
Superocean Heritage B20 Automatic
Ref.AB2020161C1A1
The hands, bezel and bracelet are reminiscent of the original design
Of course, the functionality has been updated, and the bezel has been changed to a ceramic unidirectional rotating bezel, and the visibility of the hands and indexes has also been improved.
The straps are not only mesh bracelets, but also mesh-like rubber belts, making it easier to coordinate with your style.
BREITLING
Superocean Heritage B20 Automatic 42
Ref.UB2010(UB2010121B1S1)
A mesh-like rubber belt expands the range of coordination
In addition, there is also a model equipped with a chronograph in spite of the diver's watch in Super Ocean.
The design that combines the two sportiness is a good thing that other models don't have.
BREITLING
Superocean Heritage II Chronograph 44
Ref.AB0162 (AB0162121B1S1)
The diver's chronograph is a combination that is not found in other brands
As a budget range for Super Ocean, it starts from about 300,000 yen.
Among Breitling, many models with three needles are in circulation, and the price is cheaper than the previous two.
If a chronograph is attached, it will be a guide from the 400,000 yen range.
If you are looking for a mesh type strap, this is especially recommended.

3. Officine Panerai
The third choice is Officine Panerai, also known as Panerai.
Officine Panerai is an Italian watch manufacturer founded in 1860.
Although the company was founded in Italy, the watch was manufactured in Switzerland, so the Swiss Made character is placed at 6 o'clock on the dial.
Originally, the company was only producing munitions, but after the war, it began manufacturing watches for the private sector, and is now widely known as a first-class watch brand.
Representative models include Luminor, Radiomir, and Submersible.

OFFICINE PANERAI
Submersible 42MM
Ref.PAM00683
Because it is a diving watch, the rotating bezel, index, and needle shape are characteristic.
In common with each model, there are many large case diameters in the lineup.
Many of them are also thick, so they are classified as so-called "deca thick watches".
However, in recent years, not only deca-thick watches, but also downsized models and thin models have been developed, so it can be worn by people with thin arms, and various designs that fit on the sleeve are good. It has become a brand that can meet the needs.

In addition, Panerai is also good at models with long power reserves, and many models with very long springs are being developed.
The lineup includes not only 3 days (3 days) and 8 days (8 days), but also 10 days (10 days) maximum power reserve, so even those who only plan to wear it occasionally can rest assured.

As a budget range, you can choose an entry model from about 400,000 yen.
Chronographs and divers will cost more than 700,000 yen, so it is better to start by looking for the shape and then narrow down the features you want.
