Breitling Navitimer 8 Automatic 41mm Blue Dial Black Leather Strap Mens Watch

Breitling’s Navitimer 8 Automatic 41mm blends vintage aviation lineage with modern Swiss engineering. The striking blue dial, paired with a timeless black leather strap, delivers a watch that reads clearly at a glance, stands up to daily wear, and makes a confident statement in any setting—from boardroom meetings to weekend adventures.

Precision you can rely on

At the heart of this timepiece sits a proven Breitling-caliber 17 movement (based on ETA 2824-2). It’s an automatic mechanism containing 25 jewels, beating at 28,800 vph with a power reserve of about 42 hours. The watch is COSC-certified, signifying rigorous chronometer testing and dependable accuracy across wear, weather, and time zones.

Design and readability

The 41 x 10.74 mm stainless steel case surrounds a captivating blue dial with luminescent hands and Arabic numeral markers for excellent legibility in any light. A date window sits at 6 o'clock, while a bi-directional rotating bezel in silver-tone stainless steel adds practical time-tracking utility for travel, workouts, or daily tasks. Minute markers along the outer rim ensure precise reading down to the minute.

Build and materials

A durable silver-tone stainless steel case pairs with a classic black leather strap and a 21 mm lug width for comfortable, timeless wear. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial from daily scratches, and a robust case back reinforces durability for years of use.
