Built around a 41mm platinum case and topped with a highly domed Plexiglass crystal, the Navitimer 1959 Edition LB0910211C1P1 draws directly from the proportions and character of the original mid-century design. The blue dial features tone-on-tone counters and luminous syringe-style hands, while the bidirectional platinum beaded bezel carries an engraved 60-minute scale — all details that echo the watch's historical reference point.
Inside, the hand-wound Caliber B09 — a 39-jewel movement — delivers a 70-hour power reserve and drives functions including a chronograph, date display, and GMT time zone complication. Water resistance is rated to 30 meters via a crown fitted with two gaskets. A blue alligator leather strap with a tang buckle pairs with the platinum case in a way that reinforces the vintage character of the overall design.
Reference LB0910211C1P1 is presented as a complete set, including the original Breitling box and papers. For the collector drawn to hand-wound movements, platinum cases, and period-correct details, the Navitimer 1959 Edition brings a considered and well-specified package to the wrist.
