Red gold, white mother-of-pearl and twelve diamond indices: this Breitling Navitimer Automatic 35 red gold replica scales the iconic Navitimer down to 35mm in a red gold finish (what many sellers call rose gold), producing a piece that bears almost no resemblance to the 43mm pilot chronographs the collection is best known for. The R17395211A1P2 reference keeps the slide rule on a beaded red gold bezel, replaces chronograph subdials with a clean three-hand layout, and fits a diamond-dot hour ring around a white mother-of-pearl dial. Breitling markets this as a women’s Navitimer, though the proportions work on any wrist under 17cm circumference. Before ordering any gold-tone Navitimer, read the QC points that matter on a Navitimer in our guide.

The beaded bezel is narrower than on the larger Navitimer models, giving the dial more visual real estate relative to case diameter. Diamond markers replace the stick indices found on the pilot variants, which moves the whole watch toward occasion wear.

Clone Cal. Breitling 17 in the Red Gold 35mm

Without chronograph complications the movement, a clone Cal. Breitling 17 with no date, sits thinner inside the case, which translates to a profile that slides under a shirt cuff or bracelet stack without resistance. The red gold case and brown alligator strap create a warm palette, broken only by the iridescent white mother-of-pearl dial surface that shifts color depending on light angle. That shifting quality means the dial never looks exactly the same twice, which adds visual interest to a simple three-hand layout. You can compare this to the 43mm copper-dial Navitimer to see how the same collection spans from pilot chronograph to jewelry watch. Both live within the Navitimer range, serving entirely different purposes on the wrist.

Breitling Navitimer Automatic 35 Red Gold Against Its Steel Twin

At 35mm in rose gold, this Navitimer competes less with aviation watches and more with pieces from jewelry-focused brands. The diamond markers and mother-of-pearl face move it firmly into the formal category, where case finishing and material quality matter more than complication count. The same white pearl dial also comes in steel: see the steel Navitimer 35 with mother-of-pearl dial and pink strap. Within the Navitimer family Breitling does offer several red gold models, from the B01 43 to the Automatic 41, but few of them lean toward jewellery the way this 35mm with a pearl dial does. It offers a route into the Navitimer family for anyone whose priority is elegance over instruments, and if you already wear gold jewellery, its warm case sits naturally beside a thin bangle or a ring.
