Embark on a journey through aviation history with Breitling's iconic Navitimer, a pilot's chronograph crafted by Willy Breitling in 1952. Originally designed with a circular slide rule for crucial flight calculations, it earned the official stamp of approval from the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), becoming the favored "navigation timer" for pilots globally. From the cockpit to the wrists of astronauts like Scott Carpenter and celebrities such as Miles Davis, the Navitimer seamlessly blended style and function.

In its 70th year, the Navitimer preserves its classic charm while embracing modern enhancements. A flattened slide rule and a domed crystal add sleekness, and alternating polished and brushed metal elements contribute to an understated yet lustrous finish. New dial options in shades of blue, green, and copper, along with the nostalgic return of the AOPA wings at 12 o'clock, bring a fresh and sentimental touch to this aviation legend.

For seven decades, Breitling's original pilot's watch has adorned the wrists of aviators, astronauts, and iconic figures. Symbolizing both precision and style, the Navitimer remains an enduring emblem of Breitling's commitment to aviation excellence.

Technical information about this watch

Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43

30M / 3 ATM water resistance

Water resistance indicates a watch's ability to withstand moisture and water. Ratings are measured in metres (M) or atmospheres (ATM). For instance, 30M (3 ATM) is suitable for light splashes, while 100M (10 ATM) and above are ideal for swimming and diving. Regular maintenance helps retain water resistance over time.

Breitling Calibre B01 Automatic movement

Watch movements are the mechanisms that power timekeeping, coming in automatic, manual, and quartz types. Automatic movements self-wind using wrist motion, manual movements require hand-winding, and quartz movements are battery-powered for precise timekeeping. Each type offers unique benefits, catering to different preferences and lifestyles.

43mm case size

Case size, measured in millimetres (mm), impacts the watch's look and fit. Men's watches typically range from 38mm to 46mm, and women's from 26mm to 36mm. Larger cases make a bold statement, while smaller cases offer a classic look. Choosing the right size ensures comfort and style.

70 hours power reserve

Power reserve is the duration a watch runs on a full wind or charge. Mechanical watches usually offer 40 to 80 hours, with some extending to several days. Quartz watches, powered by batteries, last several years. Knowing the power reserve helps maintain accurate timekeeping.
