Miles Davis, often credited as the greatest jazz musician of all time, changed the course of music by challenging convention and redefining what jazz could be. The Breitling Navitimer became part of that story, a genuine expression of his personal style and creative spirit.
Wearing the Navitimer on stage reflected a critical point in the Navitimer's history, where it went from tool to cultural icon.
The Navitimer B09 Chronograph Tribute to Miles Davis draws inspiration from the iconic ref. 806 Mk5—the earliest reverse-panda Navitimer with the Twin-Jet logo and the same reference Davis owned and frequently wore on stage.
Features like the cream-colored Super LumiNova, vintage-style font, original case proportions, all the way down to a manual-wind chronograph caliber call back to the 1960s original.
Limited to 500 pieces worldwide, the watch comes attached to a hand-applied gradient calf-leather strap or a 1960s-style stainless-steel Air Racer bracelet with its signature vented openings.
It is our first watch linked directly to the upcoming Breitling Social Club, giving customers complimentary two-year membership from when the club opens.
