What to know

A Navitimer dedicated to Miles Davis connects two icons of the mid-twentieth century: a pilot's chronograph and a legendary jazz trumpeter. The limited-edition aesthetic mixes classic slide-rule instrumentation with period-minded colours and contrasting subdials.

Breitling uses its hand-wound B09 chronograph calibre rather than an automatic movement, keeping the mechanical experience closely aligned with the vintage visual language. The September release offers more than a name on a dial: it reframes the Navitimer's history through a musical lens.
