Crafted for collectors who crave vivid color and mechanical purity, this rare Breitling Navitimer B01 “Panama Edition” captures the pulse of aviation heritage wrapped in a striking blue, red, and white aesthetic.

This is not just another Navitimer—this is the blue-dial icon collectors hunt for. Crisp, vivid, powerful, and immediately recognizable, the Panama Edition transforms the traditional aviation chronograph into a modern art piece for the wrist. Perfect for global travelers, weekend pilots, creatives, luxury hobbyists, and anyone who appreciates a watch with presence and prestige.

When this colorway pops up in A Rank with full accessories, it does not stay on the market long. If the heart says yes, secure it before another collector does.

Description

This exceptional Navitimer B01 “Panama Edition” represents the modern pinnacle of Breitling’s chronograph engineering. The vivid blue dial with tri-color registers, framed by the classic bidirectional slide-rule bezel, embodies the historic identity of the Navitimer lineage. Inside, the in-house Cal. B01 delivers a 70-hour power reserve, column-wheel movement, vertical clutch, and chronometer-certified precision.

The 43mm stainless steel case is paired with an integrated Breitling mesh bracelet, delivering balance, comfort, and visual sophistication. The watch is graded A Rank, reflecting only minor handling traces and extremely light use consistent with careful modern wear.

Given its refined condition, color-themed exclusivity, and complete accessory set—including chronometer certificate, international guarantee, Navitimer presentation box, and all retail documentation—this piece is a strong candidate for long-term collection.
