Navitimer B19 Chronograph 43 Perpetual Calendar 140th Anniversary

In Context

At 43 mm it is a large watch — well above this catalogue’s 40 mm median, and enough to dominate a narrow wrist. At 15.6 mm it is a tall case, and it will catch on a cuff. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. Rated to 30 m, it is protected against rain and splashes and nothing beyond that.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 96 hours of reserve puts it well past a weekend — several days off the wrist and it is still going. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

RB19101A1H1P1 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a rose sunburst dial with a red gold case. It was a limited edition. Beyond the time it carries a chronograph and a perpetual calendar.

Self-winding movement with chronograph, perpetual calendar and moon phase indication, launched in 2024.
