Submit a letter to the editor. Wempe is launching a series of watches resulting from collaborations with brands from its portfolio. The famous jeweler will offer special limited editions of well-known watch models, which are exclusively available through Wempe’s physical stores and online shop. These collaboration pieces will form the Wempe Signature Collection.

Together with Breitling, Wempe created the first timepiece in this line, the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Signature Collection. The Navitimer is Breitling’s best-known model. The brand presented the first watch carrying this name in 1952. That first edition of the watch carried the signed wings logo of the AOPA instead of any Breitling branding.

Now, 70 years after its introduction, the Navitimer sees its newest execution in a slightly larger size than the original. Wempe has also opted for a completely new appearance, creating a stunning version of this classic that could even appeal to those who have ignored the Navitimer so far. However, you must not confuse this indication with what is considered a typical unisex size for a watch today. This size designation refers to the typical size of a Navitimer. The classic Navitimers always had 41mm cases, but at that size, the load of information on the dial is heavily compacted. For the Signature Collection, Wempe chose a uniform dial layout in indigo blue.

The dial has a sunray finish that is not as shiny as many such dials. Instead, it has a silk-matte appearance. The varying dimmed reflections of this dial account for a substantial part of the attractiveness of this watch. Various transportation services to help you get around Downtown Oak Park.
