Two Breitling timepieces that shine the spotlight on confident and versatile women

The Breitling Chronomat Automatic 36 and Navitimer Automatic 35 offer a sublime blend of elegance and on-trend style

Swiss watch manufacturer Breitling has created a variety of dedicated timepieces for women since the 1940s. A great case in point would the delicate ladies’ TransOcean, called the “most wonderful expression of Breitling precision,” back in 1957. After that, The Lady J made a bold statement in the 1990s. Then the Galactic brought a “blend of refined luxury and uncompromising technical sophistication” back in 2010 as did Breitling’s more recent women’s timepieces which include the sporty, fresh and colourful Superocean 36. And then there’s the iconic Navitimer 35 as well as the Chronomat Automatic 36 which present a modern, retro-inspired look.

The former, in particular, is a worthy new member of Breitling’s iconic Navitimer family. The Navitimer Automatic 35 is designed for women drawn both to the beauty of the watch and to its unequaled heritage. For one, the Navitimer Automatic 35 takes the design inspiration for its striking, sophisticated beaded bezel from the Navitimer Ref. 806. On the other hand, its clean three-hand dial is an affectionate nod to the Ref. 66, which was launched in the 1950s, and its iconic circular slide rule holds a special place in the hearts of Breitling enthusiasts everywhere.

Perfectly sized and offering a sublime blend of elegance and on-trend style — with a choice of colourful dials, a mother-of-pearl dial set with diamonds, and alligator leather straps — these stunning new models have been designed for the cosmopolitan, stylish woman on the go. However, one particular standout in this collection would be the stainless steel version with a mother of pearl dial. Refined and elegant, this particular Navitimer Automatic 35 combines the historic appeal of a true icon with the sophistication of a contemporary timepiece. Its 35mm case features a beaded bezel and a diamond-set white mother-of-pearl dial.

Beneath its beautiful dial, the watch is driven by the high-performance Breitling Caliber 17 that boasts a power reserve of around 38 hours. At the same time, it’s also certified as a chronometer by COSC (the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres or the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute) which further ensures its accuracy.

Meanwhile, the Chronomat Automatic 36 is Breitling’s first-ever Chronomat designed for women. While its roots are in the 1980s, this forward-looking timepiece is dedicated to innovative women of today who are reshaping attitudes and challenging stereotypes.

Of particular note, the stunning watches in the Chronomat for Women range feature the brand’s iconic Rouleaux bracelet with a butterfly clasp — which is as robust as it is elegant — as well as the characteristic rotating bezel with rider tabs. Powered by the Breitling Caliber 10 with a power reserve of about 42 hours, there are ten versions of the Chronomat Automatic 36 to choose from, with special lacquered dials in white, pale green, copper or midnight blue.

Particularly for the latter, the combination between the blue dial and stainless steel case easily takes its wearer from business meeting to the beach, and everywhere in between. Sporty yet elegant, this modern-retro-inspired watch simply symbolizes competence and effortless style.

Perfectly sized and offering a sublime blend of elegance and on-trend style, these stunning Chronomat Automatic 36 and Navitimer Automatic 35 have been designed for the cosmopolitan, stylish woman on the go. In essence, today’s passionate and fashionable adventurers will certainly be drawn to these collection, whose watches perfectly reflect Breitling’s commitment to creating authentic, everyday luxury for women of purpose, action and style.
