We already knew that some changes were about to come at Breitling. We’ve seen it with the introduction of the Navitimer 8, a brand new collection that we explained to you in details. This new strategy will be deployed over all the collections and that includes the iconic Navitimer 1. Here is the first (and drastic) evolution, with the?Navitimer 1 Automatic 38. It is small and mainly, it is a 3-hander…This is a true surprise: the iconic and historic Navitimer – now named Navitimer 1, in opposition to the Navitimer 8 – will be available without chronograph. Don’t be fooled though, it is not the first time that the name Navitimer is printed on the dial of a 3-hand watch, however this is not widely known. During the 1950s, the brand introduced the Ref. 66, an elegant dress watch with 3 hands and date – yet, without the legendary design of the Navi. Ad - Scroll to continue with article

The History of the Pilot Watch Part Four: Longines and Lindbergh - Monochrome Watches
Recreating the ubiquitous association between Longines and aviation that existed at the close of the 1920s requires a dash of H.G. Wells' time travel and an active imagination, maybe even some psychotherapy.?When psychologists use a word association test, they ask you to name the first word that comes to mind. For example, when I hear the word ocean, I think of the Caribbean. Common pairings, however, emerge when they are a part of the cultural lingo: hear Volkswagen/think Beetle; hear Babe Ruth/think home run; hear Caesar/think Rome - you get the idea. So what comes to mind when you hear Longines? Aviation??If so, some might think you need to get your head examined, but there was a time when Longines was the ready answer.When aviation emerged from its pioneering development (led by pilots Alberto Santos-Dumont and Louis Bleriot) into its Golden Age between the two World Wars, flying became a household topic and Longines was aviation's associated partner primarily due to one man: Charl

At least according to a wide range of experts and a number of initiatives bent on achieving that very goal. It is probably the most daunting challenge man has ever faced. Mars is a very different planet and is roughly 60,000,000 kilometres away. A lot further than the 400,000 kilometres we had to travel to reach the Moon. In reality though, the prospect of going to Mars has never been closer, and because time on Mars is (slightly) different than on Earth, a fitting watch is needed. It even has a name, the Konstantin Chaykin Mars Conqueror MK3 Fighter.Russian independent watchmaker Konstantin Chaykin, of Joker-watch fame, has been captivated by the idea of terraforming Mars and subsequently launched his own Mars programme in 2017 setting out to create a fitting mechanical timepiece.
