2024 Breitling Watch Releases
How does one of the leading Swiss watch manufacturers celebrate its 140th anniversary? With a slew of new releases, of course! As of the writing of this article, Breitling (founded in 1884!) has added new novelties to most of its collections, including the Navitimer, Superocean, Professional, and Chronomat. Breitling promised a year full of special launches, and indeed there have been plenty of new Breitling watches released throughout 2024. Let’s unpack all the 2024 Breitling releases.

Breitling Aerospace B70 Orbiter
Earlier in the year, Breitling released the Aerospace B70 Orbiter, a 25th-anniversary edition of the brand’s multifunction chronograph. 2024 marks exactly 25 years since two ambitious pilots, Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones, became the first to circumnavigate the globe in a balloon without stopping. Breitling sponsored the duo in what would end up being one of the last flight challenges of the 20th century.
For 2024, this special edition watch introduces the collection–which supercedes the Aerospace Evo–to the caliber B70, a new SuperQuartz™ movement developed exclusively for the Breitling Aerospace. The movement, advertised by Breitling as 10x more precise than other quartz calibers, boasts a 1/100th second chronograph, alarm function, second time zone, and perpetual calendar. The watch is lightweight titanium and features a bright orange gradient dial and matching orange mission logo in the same hue as the Orbiter 3. Remarkably, a piece of the original Orbiter 3 balloon is tucked beneath the sapphire crystal on the case back. So far, there is no word from Breitling on whether or not the B70 Orbiter model will be a limited edition watch.

2024 Breitling Navitimer Releases
Breitling set out on a campaign in 2022 to refresh the Navitimer, a pilot’s watch with a slide-rule bezel. It began with the Navitimer B01 Chronograph in a bevy of exciting case sizes and dial colors and continues in 2024 with the Navitimer 41, Navitimer GMT 41, and the Navitimer Cosmonaute. The Cosmonaute is a limited edition chronograph, while the other two are time-only and GMT/date models.
Breitling Navitimer 41
The first is the Breitling Navitimer 41, a time-only edition of the collection available in a nice variety of design sets. Options include either stainless steel, two-tone (stainless steel/18k red gold), or full 18k red gold. From there, collectors have their choice of a matching metal Navitimer bracelet or leather and either blue, ice blue, or green dials for the stainless steel models and silver for both gold variants. It’s a versatile edition of the Navitimer punctuated by a clean and understated dial and a contemporary notched bezel.
Each case measures 41mm in diameter and 11.6mm thick and boasts a very modest 30-meter depth rating and a cambered, glare-proof sapphire crystal. Breitling supplied the collection with the B17, an ETA-based self-winding movement with 28,800 VPH and a 38-hour power reserve. The collection’s most iconic feature, the slide rule, surrounds the case and assists the wearer in recording various stats in the air, such as fuel consumption and rate of climb.

Breitling Navitimer GMT 41
The Navitimer GMT builds upon the foundation of the time-only Navitimer 41 by adding a GMT option to the mix. It features the caliber 32, which is also an ETA-based movement but features a slightly longer 42-hour power reserve, date display, and a GMT hand that operates independently of the other centrally-mounted hands. The current production collection includes four models, three of which are stainless steel and one of which is 18k red gold.
The red gold model sports a green dial, while the stainless steel trio is available with either a silver, black, or light blue dial. Additionally, collectors have their choice of a leather strap or metal Navitimer bracelet.
Even though Breitling has added a GMT function to the dial, it still retains the clean and understated aesthetic of the time-only model. The only difference between the two is the 24-hour scale at the dial’s center, a date window at 6 o’clock, and the additional arrow-tipped hand. The rest of the specs are the same, including the 41mm case, 11.6 profile, 30-meter depth rating, cambered sapphire crystal, and convenient slide rule bezel.

Limited Edition Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute B12
Breitling made history in 1962 by sending the first Swiss-made chronograph wristwatch into space during the Mercury-Atlas 7 mission. That watch was the Navitimer Cosmonaute, a custom variation of the Navitimer made for astronaut Scott Carpenter with a 24-hour scale instead of traditional hour markers to help him distinguish between AM and PM hours in orbit.
Ref. RB12302A1L1P1 is a tribute to that history-making watch from the space race era, produced in limited quantities of 250 watches and featuring a similar 24-hour dial as the 1960s model. The commemorative case back is engraved with the mission date “MAY 24th, 1962,” the distinction, “FIRST SWISS WRISTWATCH IN SPACE,” and “XX OF 250 NAVITIMER COSMONAUTE.”
The watch is made even more exclusive in lustrous 18k red gold and features a contemporary black and green dial, gold Arabic hour markers to match the red gold case, and an exhibition case back to display the decorated caliber B12, including a nice view of the red gold Breitling oscillating weight. Like the other new Navitimer releases, the case is 41mm in diameter, waterproof up to 30 meters, and features a cambered sapphire crystal. However, this model is slightly thicker at 13.6mm and is 47mm lug-to-lug.

2024 Breitling Endurance Pro Releases
Breitling released the Endurance Pro in 2020, a collection of Breitlight® —aka carbon composite—watches with thermocompensated “SuperQuartz™” movements. A 38mm mid-size model and a newer-style rubber strap join the lineup in 2024.
Breitling Endurance Pro 44mm and 38mm
When the Endurance Pro was released a few years ago, it initially only featured a 44mm case and white, blue, yellow, orange, and red models. Red and yellow have since been replaced by a stylish light blue option. Additionally, the collection is available with either a newer, more under-the-radar textured rubber strap or the original “BREITLING” embossed rubber strap. The real buzz, however, is that the “ultimate athleisure watch” is now available in 38mm. The new size comes in white, light blue, red, purple, or pink. The last two are exclusive to the 38mm model. Each variation features colorful accents on the dial and crown to match the rubber strap.
Both sizes are presented in Breitlight®, a highly resilient material that is lighter than titanium and steel. Both case sizes feature bi-directional bezels with compass scales, pulsometer scales surrounding the dial, tri-compax dials, 100-meter depth ratings, and flat sapphire crystals. 44mm models are powered by the caliber 82, while the new 38mm Breitling is powered by the caliber 83. Both are “thermocompensated” movements with a special regulating system to combat temperature variations and feature a date and chronograph function.

2024 Breitling Chronomat Releases
Breitling beefed up its Chronomat collection for 2024 with collaborations with pro basketball player Giannis Antetokounmpo, fashion mogul Victoria Beckham, and NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason. This year also brought us the first 28mm model. Read on to learn more about the collection’s newest novelties.
Breitling Chronomat Super Bowl LVIII
Breitling released a new limited edition Chronomat just in time for Super Bowl LVIII, paying homage to longtime brand ambassador and NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason. Proceeds from each sale go directly to the Boomer Esiason Foundation.
Ref. RB01343A1C1S1 stays true to the standard Chronomat B01 42 format, featuring the same 42mm case, cambered sapphire crystal, and uni-directional 60-minute bezel. It also boasts the caliber 01 self-winding movement and water resistance up to 200 meters. The case back is unique to the Super Bowl LVIII Breitling, featuring a colorful Super Bowl logo on the underside of the crystal and an engraved limited production number.

Limited Edition Breitling Chronomat Giannis Antetokounmpo Watches
Breitling has teamed up with brand ambassador and professional basketball player Giannis Antetokounmpo to release a pair of limited-edition Chronomats. A stainless steel Chronomat GMT 40 will be produced in quantities of 1,750, while the more exclusive 18k red gold Chronomat B01 42 will be made in just 250 pieces. This run of 2,000 pieces in total was designed partly by the noted watch enthusiast himself.
Both models feature an elegant yet sporty muted green dial chosen by Antetokounmpo. The seconds hands on both watches feature a “GA” counterweight, while the chronograph model is also decorated with the outline of a basketball in the 9-hour sub-dial. At the same time, Antetokounmpo has respected Breitling’s enduring design codes by including the brand’s trademark rider tab bezel and rouleaux-style bracelet in steel and rubber.

Breitling x Victoria Beckham Chronomat 36
Victoria Beckham has extended her posh sense of style to a new limited-edition Breitling Chronomat 36, featuring six ultra-chic steel and 18k yellow gold models and a handful of gorgeous dial options inspired by her Spring/Summer 2024 palette. At their core, the watches designed by Beckham are standard Chronomat 36 watches, including the caliber 10 self-winding movement, three-hand dial with date, and 100-meter depth rating.
The limited production run sets the new models apart from the rest of the lineup. Breitling will only produce 100 pieces of each yellow gold variant and 400 pieces of each stainless steel variant, as indicated on the dial just above 6 o’clock. It’s also worth noting that this model is the first in the collection to feature yellow gold in quite some time. We wouldn’t expect anything less from the daring Posh Spice.

Breitling Chronomat 28
2024 brought us the smallest version of the Chronomat, a svelte 28mm model with a dazzling array of feminine design options such as diamonds, Mother-of-Pearl, and even precious metals. Four models were released: two in stainless steel with plain bezels and either a pink or blue dial, one in stainless steel with a diamond-encrusted bezel and a mesmerizing black dial, and one in two-tone and with a diamond bezel and lovely white dial. Every dial is genuine Mother-of-Pearl and features lab-grown diamond hour markers and Super-LumiNova.
The slender new watches are accompanied by the emblematic Rouleaux bracelet (which made a serious comeback in 2020) and the Breitling caliber 72 Thermocompensated SuperQuartz™ movement. It’s also worth mentioning that the bezels are fixed but still feature the collection’s signature rider tabs every 15 minutes, honoring the Chronomat’s enduring design codes.

2024 Breitling Avenger Releases
Earlier in the year, Breitling released three limited edition U.S. Navy Night Mission watches, honoring the United States Naval Academy and two air test squadrons, the Dust Devils and the Bloodhounds. Since then, Breitling has added several more variations to the Avenger fold, including new Night Mission models with colorful strap options, new Super Avenger watches in Titanium, and a handful of 42mm Avenger chronographs with the B01 movement.
Breitling Avenger U.S. Naval Edition Night Mission Watches
This year, Breitling extended its ready-for-anything Avenger pilot’s watch to include a special collaboration with the United States Naval Academy. The three models from the Avenger Night Mission collection are decorated with the colors and emblems of the U.S. Navy Bloodhounds Squadron (grey/yellow), the U.S. Navy Dust Devils Squadron (red/black), and the U.S. Naval Academy (blue/gold). All three feature 44mm black ceramic cases engraved with their respective units on the back, matching uni-directional bezels, and water resistance up to 300 meters.
The US Naval Academy model has a refined and almost collegiate aesthetic, thanks to the ornate emblem at 9 o’clock, matte navy dial, and gold accents. A mischievous dust devil with guns a-blazin’ adorns the matte black dial on the USN Dust Devils model, and the USN Bloodhounds model is menacing with the three-headed dog emblem set against a gray dial. The accompanying military leather straps are decorated with color palettes to match the USN dials.

Green Breitling Super Avenger Night Mission Chronograph and Avenger Night Mission GMT
Two green models are new to the Night Mission collection: a 44mm Avenger GMT with a rotating pinion bezel and 24-timezone indication and a larger 46mm Super Avenger chronograph with a uni-directional 60-minute bezel. True to the Night Mission series, both feature a stealth, all-black case furnished in ceramic and durable titanium hardware for the case back, crown, and side pushers (chronograph only). Both also feature a dynamic black carbon dial and a military-inspired khaki green calfskin leather strap. However, the chronograph is powered by the Breitling 01 movement, and the GMT features the Breitling 32.

Avenger Night Mission 42 Watches in New Colors
Breitling added new color options to the smaller 42mm Night Mission collection. The first is an all-black three-hand model with a black carbon dial, black military leather strap, and the Breitling caliber 17 time-and-date movement. Two chronograph models also joined the lineup, one with a vibrant turquoise dial and military leather strap and the other with a black carbon dial and a sand military leather strap. Both are driven by the standard caliber 01 Breitling chronograph movement. Furthermore, all three new 2024 models sport a uni-directional bezel and a black ceramic case.

2024 Breitling Superocean Releases
Breitling takes the Superocean in two different yet equally creative directions with the new rainbow-dial Superocean Automatic 42 and 36 and the camouflage-dial Superocean Automatic 46 Super Diver.
Rainbow Dial Breitling Superocean Automatic 42 and 36
Breitling added a new selection of hip and colorful rainbow-dial models to its portfolio, this time to the Superocean Automatic 42 and 36. The Slow Motion-inspired square hour markers and paddle-shaped hands are filled with Super-LumiNova in every shade of the rainbow.
The 2024 release includes five models. Four are made of stainless steel and feature a 42mm case and either a turquoise, aquamarine, orange, or yellow rubber strap. The other model is a 36mm version in stainless steel and 18k red gold with a white rubber strap. The tip of the lollipop seconds hand on the 42mm model is a vibrant shade of turquoise, while the 36mm model sports a green-tipped seconds hand. On both models, the square hour hand is filled with green Super-LumiNova, while the minute hand is orange.

Titanium Breitling Superocean Automatic 46 Super Diver
Breitling developed a dive watch in the 1960s called the Superocean Slow Motion. It was made for scuba diving and featured chunky, squared-off luminescent hour markers and hands and a contrasting minute ring for optimal legibility while in the water. Today, the entire Superocean collection, including the new Super Diver, is very much inspired by that vintage watch.
Four new models have joined the lineup, featuring adventure-ready camouflage dials in either black or green and with a metal or rubber strap. They have a similar design to the rest of the Superocean 46 collection but with a slightly thicker profile (by about 1mm) to accommodate a soft-iron inner case for better anti-magnetism. It also has an increased 1,000-meter depth rating (compared to the standard 300 meters) and a bi-directional bezel secured with a patented safety lock. Whereas most Superocean models are made of stainless steel, the Breitling Super Diver opts for lightweight titanium.
