Serial numbers
- ? – ? (2023–?) — Breitling has used randomized serial numbers since around 2010 – no year-of-production assignment is possible. Modern Breitling watches carry a 4-digit production date between the lower lugs (format WWYY = calendar week/year), visible after removing the strap.
The Navitimer 36 in reference A17327211G1A1 sits between two worlds. Too large for a classic ladies' watch, too small for the 43mm pilots that usually define the Navitimer name. That's exactly what makes it interesting — for several years now, this size has let Breitling serve a customer who wants the slide-rule look without wearing 43mm on the wrist. At its core is Caliber 17, an automatic base movement — no manufacture complication, but solid enough for everyday wear.
## Four Dials, One Case
That's the real trick of this reference: four completely different dial variants under the same case number. Silver-cream feels the most classic, almost a callback to the original Navitimer's 1950s look. Anthracite leans toward understatement, while mint green is the shade that showed up across several brands at once in 2021 and has divided collectors ever since. The fourth variant, with mother-of-pearl and diamond indices, clearly targets a different buyer altogether — a jewelry watch rather than an instrument.
## The Slide Rule Stays the Brand's Core
Despite the miniaturization, the slide-rule bezel remains fully functional — not just a decorative scale. That's where the Navitimer 36 sets itself apart from a lot of competitors in the 36mm segment: Breitling didn't just shrink the 1954 slide-rule heritage, it kept it legible. For the secondhand market, that means the condition of the bezel markings and any scratches on the sapphire crystal above the scale are the first things I check during an inspection — before I even look at the dial.
Pricing for this reference varies noticeably by dial variant — the diamond version typically runs 800 to 1,200 euros above the steel-dial editions on the secondhand market, a gap many buyers underestimate at first glance.
Brand profile: Breitling
Breitling is known for aviation and dive watches. Chronographs (Navitimer, Chronomat) are the most frequently counterfeited. Pay close attention to slide rule details and COSC certification.
- Wing logo: a genuine Breitling logo shows the anchor and wing tips that NEVER touch — precise negative space between them — fakes let the tips meet or overlap
- 3D 'B' crown: the 'B' on the crown must appear three-dimensional with a light reflection on the curve — a flat 'B' = fake
- Bezel scale vs. dial: the outer white bezel scale must align precisely with the inner black dial indices — fakes show misalignment
- Date disc depth: a genuine Navitimer date disc sits flush with the dial plane — fakes show the date window as a 'crater' (noticeably sunken or raised)
Serial number format: Breitling serial numbers: alphanumeric, located between the lugs at 6 o'clock. Format: one letter + 8 digits (e.g. 'AB012012'). Older models: digits only.
