Breitling Navitimer Rattrapante Review

Aesthetics

Let's think about the appearance first. The Breitling Navitimer Rattrapante has a beautifully polished stainless steel case, and from its Panamerican bronze-coloured dial to all the finely printed scales and numerals, this watch really has a lot going for it.

With a case size of 45 mm and a case thickness of 15.73 mm, the stainless steel case creates a serious presence on your wrist.

The lower half of the dial consists of secondary dials:

Position 6: Twelve-hour counter subdial Position 3: 30-minute counter subdial Position 9: Small seconds subdial

There is a window on the dial that shows the date between the 4 and 5 hour marks. This date window uses a beautiful, easy-to-read font and size. The hour markers and hour and minute hands feature lume material; Thus, it glows in the dark and makes it easier to read the watch at night or in low light conditions.

For some, this watch may seem too complicated at first glance. To some, it is a masterpiece and the answer to many business challenges. "Why?" you may ask. First of all, this is a sophisticated tool watch for pilots and professionals who need unique features for navigation. Read on to find out.

Mechanical Properties

Many of these features are integrated into the dial; For example, scales for making quick calculations. Thanks to the bidirectional rotating bezel, you can quickly use the watch's dial like a conversion table; For example, you can make calculations such as miles to kilometers or miles to nautical miles.

It can also be used to calculate climb times and measure fuel efficiency using a feature called the Slide-Rule complication, which works in conjunction with the rotating bezel.

For those who have never owned a chronograph before (can you believe it? Some people have never even heard of the Zenith El Primero!), a chronograph is a watch with a stopwatch function. The stopwatch feature is activated, started and stopped by the chronograph buttons located above and below the crown (the middle button on the right side of the watch).

What makes this Breitling chronograph particularly unique compared to other Breitling chronographs is the Rattrapante complication; This means that it is an automatic flyback chronograph that can not only calculate seconds (using the red chronograph hand with the letter 'B' on the other end which acts as a counterweight) but also split-seconds (split-times as some call it) using the polished split-seconds hand with an anchor-shaped counterweight.

This pilot's watch has a flyback chronograph hand and its position can be reset by pressing a button; When the button is pressed, the split-seconds hand catches up with the main red chronograph hand.

The Breitling Navitimer Rattrapante is powered by the in-house Breitling Caliber 03 automatic movement, also known as the B03 caliber. This split-seconds chronograph mechanism is in the "Chronometer" class.

Chronometer means that Breitling takes the caliber (mechanical movement) to an independent organization called COSC; This organization puts the caliber through many tests to achieve a minimum accuracy and precision of -4/+6 seconds per day, which is an excellent accuracy score for a mechanical watch.

This remarkable watch has a power reserve of 70 hours; This is approximately 50-60% more than the power reserve time you can expect from an average automatic watch. One of the things that Breitling owners often boast about is the way these watches are made. These are like tanks built to be strong, durable and long-lasting.

As with all Breitling watches, you can wear almost any type of strap you want on this automatic flyback chronograph. In this particular collection, models with a variety of leather straps are available, featuring either a tang (pin) buckle or a folding buckle. Available straps and buckles include:

black rubber white saddle stitched calfskin with tang buckle (available colours: light brown, dark brown or black), white saddle stitched alligator leather with tang or folding clasp options (available colours: light brown, dark brown or black), stainless steel bracelet with folding safety catch with tang or folding clasp options
