IF THERE IS an accessory that completes the attire of a man, it is a good wristwatch. Never underestimate the impact of a smart timepiece - at pitch meetings it can make a power statement, and on a night out be a conversation starter. Which means that you must match the watch to the occasion. Here's a guide that will not only set you on the path to building a collection, but also suggest what kind of watches work best for certain events
FOR PRACTICAL USE Breitling Navitimer ₹ 7 lakh (approximately)
BREITLING'S Navitimer was a path-breaking watch for aviation and travel, and even in its 2022 iterations features a circular slide rule that helps pilots calculate speed and distance, and even mathematical calculations like figuring out the tip on a bill. In sizes of 41mm, 43mm and 46mm, the new collection looks both retro and modern and can easily be recognised. The 46mm Navitimer (Ref AB0137211C1P1) featured here gets a stainless steel case with a sapphire glass and a bidirectional bezel. The watch comes with a blue dial, a 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock, a date window inside a 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock, and a small seconds counter at 9 o'clock. The dial also gets SuperLumiNova hour markers, hour and minute hands with a red central seconds hand along with two chronograph pushers at 2 o'clock and 4 o'clock.
Powering the watch is a Caliber 01 self-winding movement with 70 hours of power reserve. The watch gets a screwed steel caseback, a 30m water resistance, and a brown alligator leather strap with a folding buckle.
