The Watch: The B25 Datora is Breitling reaching back to its more refined roots—before Navitimers ruled the skies, it was building calendar chronographs for the ground-bound gentleman. At 42mm, it’s a lot of dial, but it makes good use of the real estate: day, date, month, moonphase, and a column-wheel chronograph all laid out across a warm copper backdrop.
Power comes from the COSC-certifiedCaliber B25, automatic with a 48-hour reserve and visible through the caseback. The case is stainless steel, the strap is brown alligator, and the vibe is distinctly mid-century: sharp, slightly academic, and dressed for dinner.
If you’ve only known Breitling for its tool watches, this one offers a more tailored introduction.
