Breitling Marks Ultraman's 60th Anniversary With a Special Navitimer

To celebrate Ultraman's 60th anniversary, Breitling's iconic Navitimer is joining forces with one of Japan's most recognizable heroes. The result is a Japan-limited watch, the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Ultraman Limited, bringing together the Navitimer's history as a precision instrument for pilots and the spirit of a hero who has long stood for peace across the universe. Built for this milestone year, the timepiece carries understated details with real meaning behind them, letting you wear the memory of the hero with a grown-up sensibility.

Pre-orders open at 5:00 PM on September 15, 2026 (Tue) through Breitling's official online boutique, with general sales following from October 1, 2026 (Thu) at Breitling boutiques and authorized retailers nationwide.

Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Ultraman Limited

First introduced in 1952, the Navitimer was built as an aviation instrument with a built-in rotating slide rule, earning the trust of pilots and evolving into one of Breitling's defining chronographs. Its distinctive design and functionality have carried through the decades, giving it a lasting place beyond that of an ordinary watch.

This model was created as a Japan-limited edition to mark Ultraman's 60th anniversary. Echoing Ultraman's origins as a visitor from space, it uses a dial made from Muonionalusta, a meteorite with origins dating back roughly 4.5 billion years, for the first time in a Japan-limited edition. This rare material, composed mainly of iron and nickel, is treated to bring out its natural crystalline structure, so no two dials look quite alike. The 1- and 2-minute markers on the 30-minute counter are finished in blue, with a red accent at the 3-minute mark, subtly echoing Ultraman's iconic sense of time.

The caseback is engraved with an "Ultraman 60th Anniversary" logo, while "ONEOF160" stamped around the outer edge quietly signals its limited production. The watch comes in a dedicated box, and buyers receive an Ultraman Series 60th Anniversary logo pin as a bonus. Powered by Breitling's in-house Caliber 01 movement, it's built to be as dependable for everyday wear as it is meaningful for the occasion.

A portion of the proceeds from this watch will go to the Ultraman Fund, supporting children who represent the future alongside Ultraman's own ongoing activities.
