Navitimer 01 Blackstee

Breitling Navitimer 01 Blacksteel MB0128

The Breitling Navitimer 01 – Ref. MB0128 Blacksteel reinterprets one of aviation’s most iconic chronographs in a bold, contemporary format. Featuring Breitling’s proprietary Blacksteel (DLC-coated stainless steel) treatment, this commanding 46 mm reference combines the historic slide-rule bezel with stealth aesthetics and enhanced surface durability.

The Blacksteel case houses the legendary bidirectional slide-rule bezel, a defining Navitimer feature used for flight calculations. A sapphire crystal protects the deep black dial, highlighted by red accents and luminous markers for optimal contrast and legibility. The classic tri-compax configuration displays a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, 12-hour counter at 6 o’clock, and small seconds at 9 o’clock, complemented by a date window and detailed aviation scale. An exhibition caseback reveals the mechanical architecture within.

Powering the watch is the in-house Breitling Calibre 01, an automatic, COSC-certified chronometer movement operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour. Equipped with a column-wheel chronograph mechanism, it offers smooth engagement and an impressive 70-hour power reserve, reflecting Breitling’s manufacture excellence.

With 30 meters of water resistance, this limited Blacksteel variant delivers aviation-grade functionality wrapped in modern, tactical styling — ideal for collectors who appreciate heritage reimagined with contemporary edge.
