Breitling has embraced red gold in recent years, with yellow gold being used more sparingly. The new two-tone Superocean Heritage Automatic 36 and Navitimer Automatic 36 introduce the traditional hue of 18k yellow gold, paired with stainless steel, for a fresh expression of two familiar icons. The cool shades of steel, white, and mother of pearl against the yellow gold create a winter palette with a warmer edge. 

“Yellow gold is a metal that carries unmatched cultural value,” says Breitling CEO Jean-Marc Pontroué. “Using gold’s natural color makes a bold statement. These two-tone watches strike the right balance to give the classic style an elegant, fresh, and sophisticated touch. The subtle use of yellow gold against the white elements on the dial and bezel creates a distinctive contrast, giving both designs an elegant character.”

The Navitimer Automatic 36 gets a new look with a two-tone stainless steel and 18k yellow-gold case and bracelet. The mother-of-pearl dial adds a one-of-a-kind natural element, while the diamond indexes give it a refined edge. The time-only display offers a clean look with an understated feel but notable presence. The watch is powered by the Breitling Caliber 17, an automatic COSC-certified chronometer with approximately 38 hours of power reserve.  

It can be paired with either a seven-row two-tone bracelet or a brown alligator leather strap with a folding clasp. Both options combine the iconic Navitimer aesthetic with the brightness of yellow gold.

The Superocean Heritage Automatic 36 takes a similarly fresh approach to two-tone design. A crisp white dial and white ceramic bezel insert set the stage for a solid 18k yellow-gold bezel, with matching gold hands, indexes, and bezel markers. The contrast gives the watch a luminous, polished look that makes a perfect gift to be worn and enjoyed well beyond the holiday season. 

It comes on either a white rubber strap or a stainless steel mesh bracelet, each giving the Superocean Heritage a look that feels at home on a winter getaway or any special occasion. Beating inside is the Breitling Caliber 10, an automatic time-and-date movement with COSC-certified precision and roughly 42 hours of power reserve.  

Together, the two watches offer a vivid expression of the festive season, making them distinctive gifts. Bright whites and yellow gold capture the holiday sparkle, while keeping the watches versatile, wearable, and distinctly Breitling.
