Navitimer B09 Chronograph 41 Miles Davis

Widely regarded as one of jazz’s greatest musicians, Miles Davis redefined music by mastering convention and breaking its rules whenever creativity demanded. Before tool watches became fashion statements, Davis wore the Breitling Navitimer ref. 806 Mk5, turning a pilot’s instrument into an expression of style. For the centennial of Davis’ birth, Breitling is unveiling the Navitimer B09 Chronograph 41 Tribute to Miles Davis, limited to 500 pieces.

For Miles Davis, style was another form of expression, as powerful as the music he made as a trumpeter and bandleader. In sharp Italian suits and behind the wheel of exotic sports cars, he commanded attention. That magnetism carried onto the stage, drawing audiences into every note, gesture, and performance. In a 1985 interview for Spin Magazine, Bob Dylan called Davis his “definition of cool.” Davis didn’t follow trends; he anticipated them and set his own.
