The Navitimer Montbrilliant, which debuted in the late 1990s, is a beautifully designed timepiece that combines the elegant design features of Breitling's mid-century models, like the Chronomat from the 1940s, with the company's rich tool watch heritage. The A30030.2, which combines a vintage-inspired design with contemporary aesthetics, is sized at what would have been a massive construction in the mid-1900s and has a 38mm case diameter. The Montbrillant is completely identifiable as a member of the Navtimer family thanks to its busy yet readable silver dial and stainless steel case with the Navitimer's recognizable slide rule bezel and hobnail texture.
With both blued and non-blued hands and a red central seconds track similar to those found on vintage Chronomats, the A30030.2's dial is surprisingly readable because its different features are divided by color. The A30030.2's dial is a pleasing combination of color, textures, and practical inscriptions like those along the dial's periphery that allow its slide rule bezel to function as wonderfully as it does. It has recessed subdials with concentric guilloche engraving and a subtle grainy surface throughout the rest of the dial.
The A30030.2 Montbrillant builds on the Navitimer's heritage as a true pilot's watch by fusing classic Breitling design elements, like its dial and somewhat conservative sizing, with contemporary watchmaking to create a timepiece that is capable of handling challenges and will look amazing while doing so.
