Takashimaya Nihonbashi to Offer a Special Montbrillant
One of the limited edition models prepared by Breitling for this autumn is a special specification of the "Montbrillant 01 Limited."
On October 7 (Wednesday), Takashimaya will open its "Tokyo-Nihonbashi Takashimaya Watch Maison," a watch hall that is one of the largest in Japan. It will feature approximately 80 brands, from top global brands to new products introduced in Japan for the first time, offering one of the world's largest selections. Among these, Breitling is a major best-selling brand, and for the opening of the "Takashimaya Watch Maison," they have prepared a limited edition model exclusive to the store.
Among these, Breitling is a major best-selling brand, and for the "Takashimaya Watch Maison," they have prepared a limited edition model that can only be obtained at Takashimaya.
This special model of the "Montbrillant 01" is unprecedented compared to previous limited editions.
The dial color is Pan American Bronze, a very subdued hue that perfectly complements the classical, functional face design of the "Montbrillant," which takes inspiration from the first "Chronomat" of 1942. The hands, unlike the usual red, are silver for the stainless steel model and gold for the gold model, pursuing an elegant color scheme down to the details. Furthermore, diamonds are set on the lugs, their subtle sparkle enhancing the watch's functional beauty.
This is a chic chronograph, with a limited production of only 12 stainless steel models and a mere 2 gold models, making it an ultra-rare piece exclusively available at Takashimaya. Keep an eye not only on the store but also on this exquisite model.

Breitling's Autumn Limited Editions (2)
Isetan Shinjuku to Feature Navitimer 01
The other notable limited edition model will be unveiled at the Breitling Fair at Isetan Shinjuku.
The Breitling Fair, held from September 30 to October 6 at Isetan Shinjuku Main Building 4F=Jewelry & Watch, will feature a promotional corner within the watch shop, in addition to the regular Breitling counter, all designed to immerse visitors in the world of Breitling.
The advantage of such fairs is the opportunity to see a wider selection of models than typically available in stores and to handle them firsthand. This particular fair promises to exceed expectations for fans.
A major highlight of the fair is expected to be the limited edition "Navitimer 01 Limited." This limited version is characterized by its deep blue dial, with the subdials unified in the same color. The applied Arabic numerals in polished silver create a modern aesthetic, achieving both high legibility and a luxurious feel.
This is the latest version of the chronograph equipped with the world's first aviation slide rule, and its color scheme, reminiscent of the sky, is superb. This refreshingly designed model is limited to 1000 pieces worldwide and will be showcased early at this fair. It's an unmissable opportunity for fans to see this precious model.
