Chances are you’ve seen this model in renderings online, but let’s get down to the nitty-gritty. The Navitimer 8 Unitime uses a 43mm case that is 14.55mm thick with short lugs, tall flanks, and a nice mix of polished and brushed elements. Available in a black or a steel “Mercury Silver” dial, the Navitimer 8 Unitime can be fitted with either a steel Professional III bracelet or a brown crocodile strap. If, like me, you were thinking the Unitime would look great on one of your favorite straps (a NATO right?), be forewarned that its 23mm lug spacing might make for a problematic fit with most common straps sizes.
The dial
The black dial is very good, with a subtle radial brushing that offers a slight highlight and a black/grey 24 hour ring that delineates day/night across the various time zones. Likewise, the silver is also very nicely implemented, with a similar finish that offers a bright, shining sunburst effect that manages to not feel flashy and is kept a bit warmer through the use of a grey/blue 24-hour ring.
While I’d have a hard time picking between the two, my general preference for white or blue dials would likely lead me to the Mercury Silver version of the Navitimer 8 Unitime. With a clear aviation-style time display and a simple but unobtrusive date at six, the Navitimer 8 Unitime is legible and uses small arrows to help accurately align (and read) the world time display, which circles the outer edge of the dial.
The movement
Employing Breitling’s B35 caliber, the movement in the Navitimer 8 Unitime begins life as a base ETA 2892 before being modified with the use of a patented, in-house world time module developed and created by Breitling. The result of this very impressive caliber is remarkable travel functionality, offering jumping local hour changes that are coordinated to the 24 hour display. So, if you change time zones and update the local display, the world time indication keeps up too (this is seriously handy). Controlled via the single crown, the movement also boasts 70 hours of power reserve and beats at a 4 Hz rate. The B35 makes for a really attractive worldtimer that is designed for maximum flexibility while traveling.
On wrist, the Navitimer 8 Unitime is certainly on the larger size, but 43mm is not all that large for Breitling or for a modern sport watch. In short, the Navitimer 8 Unitime basically wears almost exactly how I expected for a 43mm sport watch. Should you prefer to wear your watches on a bracelet, Breitling does a great job with their bracelets and the slanted links of the Professional III are distinctive and work well with the Navitimer 8 case and lug shape.
