BLS Factory Breitling Navitimer Automatic 35mm Watch
The BLS Factory Breitling Navitimer Automatic 35 combines a compact 35mm case and 9.9mm thickness with a 316L stainless steel construction and a bidirectional rotating beaded bezel.
Two automatic movement configurations are supplied: SW200-1 and 2824. The range also includes several dial treatments, including silver, blue and copper-tone options, together with a white mother-of-pearl configuration featuring decorative stone setting.
A sapphire crystal protects the dial, while leather strap options complete the supplied configuration.
35mm Case Diameter
The BLS Factory Navitimer Automatic features a 35mm case diameter.
The smaller dimensions create noticeably different proportions from the larger 41mm and 43mm Navitimer configurations.
At 35mm, the dial and rotating bezel remain visually prominent while the overall footprint on the wrist is reduced.
The size can suit users who prefer a more compact automatic watch regardless of gender.
9.9mm Case Thickness
The supplied case thickness is 9.9mm, giving documented dimensions of 35 × 9.9mm.
Thickness is particularly relevant on a smaller-diameter watch because it directly affects the relationship between the case’s width and side profile.
At under 10mm according to the supplied specification, this configuration has a relatively slim profile compared with larger automatic chronographs.
316L Stainless Steel Case
The case is specified as 316L stainless steel.
This material is widely used for watch cases because of its corrosion resistance, mechanical durability and ability to accept different brushed and polished surface treatments.
The stainless steel structure also provides the foundation for the distinctive rotating bezel surrounding the dial.
Bidirectional Rotating Beaded Bezel
A recognizable characteristic of this Navitimer configuration is its bidirectional rotating beaded bezel.
The perimeter consists of multiple raised sections that provide both a decorative detail and a tactile gripping surface.
Unlike a unidirectional diving bezel, this construction is designed to rotate in both directions.
The beaded perimeter also creates a distinctive visual boundary around the 35mm case.
SW200-1 Automatic Movement Option
One available configuration uses an SW200-1 automatic mechanical movement.
The SW200-1 provides automatic winding, allowing normal wrist movement to contribute to winding the movement during regular wear.
It should be documented according to the movement actually installed in the watch rather than being described as an original Breitling Caliber 17.
No individual timing-machine results or specific movement grade were supplied, so these are not assumed.
2824 Automatic Movement Option
A second configuration is available with a 2824 automatic mechanical movement.
This gives the product two distinct movement options while retaining the same fundamental 35mm Navitimer case architecture.
When creating future QC pages, the installed movement should always be identified individually as SW200-1 or 2824, rather than combining both under a single movement specification.
This is useful for keeping your technical database accurate.
SW200-1 and Caliber 17 Clarification
The supplied promotional material describes the SW200-1 as equivalent to the Breitling Caliber 17.
For technical accuracy, these should not be presented as the same installed movement.
This BLS configuration can therefore be documented as using an SW200-1 automatic movement option, without claiming that the movement itself is an original Breitling Caliber 17.
This distinction provides clearer information about the actual movement configuration.
Sapphire Crystal
The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal.
Sapphire offers high resistance to everyday surface scratches while maintaining good optical transparency.
It also protects the dial, hands and hour indications beneath the crystal.
No anti-reflective coating specification was provided, so an unverified coating is not added.
Silver Dial
A silver dial configuration is included within the supplied range.
The light-colored surface provides a relatively neutral background and emphasizes the surrounding stainless steel case and beaded bezel.
Its appearance can vary according to ambient lighting and viewing angle.
Blue Dial
The range also includes a blue dial option.
The deeper color provides greater visual contrast against the steel case and bezel while retaining the same 35 × 9.9mm architecture.
The movement configuration should be confirmed independently from dial color when individual products are listed.
Copper-Tone Dial
A copper-tone dial provides a warmer color option within the range.
Its appearance creates a stronger contrast with the cool tone of the 316L stainless steel exterior.
This color should be documented as copper-tone unless the exact dial material or finishing process is independently confirmed.
White Mother-of-Pearl Dial
The supplied range also includes a white mother-of-pearl dial configuration with decorative stone setting.
Mother-of-pearl naturally produces variations in tone and reflection, so individual dial appearance may differ slightly depending on viewing angle and lighting.
If the stones have not been independently identified and graded, the website should avoid describing them as natural diamonds.
“Stone-set” is the safer technical description.
Leather Strap Options
The supplied configurations include cow-leather and alligator-pattern leather strap options.
Leather creates a lighter and more traditional wearing arrangement than a full steel bracelet.
Because actual exotic-leather composition should be independently confirmed, “alligator-pattern leather” is preferable to claiming genuine alligator leather unless material documentation is available.
Pin Buckle
The leather strap is secured using a pin-style buckle.
This conventional construction allows the strap to be adjusted through its existing holes according to wrist circumference.
The buckle, spring bars and strap attachment points should be checked periodically for looseness or excessive wear.

Case and Bezel Architecture
The combination of the 35mm case, 9.9mm thickness and beaded rotating bezel gives this configuration proportions that are clearly different from the larger Navitimer chronograph and GMT models.
The bezel creates additional visual width around the dial while its raised perimeter provides a textured transition between the sapphire crystal and case.
Because the bezel rotates bidirectionally, its construction should also be distinguished from the one-way rotating bezels commonly associated with diving-watch designs.
Movement Configuration
The availability of SW200-1 and 2824 automatic movements is an important technical distinction.
Rather than presenting them as interchangeable names for the same caliber, each should remain clearly identified in the product specification and subsequent QC documentation.
If an individual watch is tested before shipment, its timing data should be recorded together with the actual installed movement. This creates more useful long-term technical data for comparing the two configurations.
Wearing and Care Advice
Use a clean microfiber cloth for routine cleaning of the sapphire crystal and 316L stainless steel case.
Operate the bidirectional bezel gently and avoid forcing it if unusual resistance is encountered.
Protect the automatic movement from heavy impacts and strong magnetic fields.
Leather straps should be kept away from prolonged moisture and aggressive cleaning chemicals.
No confirmed water-resistance specification was supplied, so intentional water exposure is not recommended without individual pressure testing.
