David Beckham became the face of the Transocean Chronograph Unitime in November 2012, and this is that launch-year watch in its original form: the black dial with the silver globe the later Pilot version dropped.
One turn of the crown moves the hour hand, the ring of 24 cities and the date together, forwards or back, while the seconds run on. Breitling built and patented that mechanism itself; the movement is COSC chronometer-certified.
Worldtempus praised its unprecedented user friendliness. Sotheby's New York sold a steel black-dial example of this reference for USD 5,040 in March 2021, and a pink gold sister made GBP 7,560 in London that year. The Transocean line has since given way to the Premier, so this globe dial is no longer made.
Graded Excellent on its steel mesh bracelet, this is the Breitling for the man who crosses time zones and wants the whole world on one dial, worth taking while clean launch-year examples still surface.

Step into the world of Breitling — an emblem of precision, aviation heritage and technical mastery since 1884. Luxepolis brings certified pre‑owned Breitling watches to India with trust, exclusivity, and up to 70% off retail. Whether you’re seeking a vintage Navitimer or a rugged Superocean, discover enduring style and expert authentication under one roof.
Founded in 1884 by Léon Breitling in Saint‑Imier, Switzerland, Breitling pioneered the wrist chronograph in 1915 and introduced the dual‑pusher chronograph in 1934. The iconic Navitimer debuted in 1952 with its circular slide rule for pilots. In 1962, astronaut Scott Carpenter wore a Navitimer Cosmonaute—the first Swiss wristwatch in space. Breitling co‑developed the first automatic chronograph movement in 1969 and later launched its in‑house Calibre B01 in 2009. Under CEO Georges Kern since 2017, the brand has balanced bold aviation DNA with modern inclusivity and sustainability. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
