The Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 41mm is an iconic pilot’s chronograph, featuring a stainless steel gem-set case and a bidirectional, slide rule bezel. Worn by astronauts in space and the biggest stars on earth, it is Breitling’s most iconic timepiece and one of the most recognisable watches of all time. This unique timepiece is powered by the Breitling 01 (Manufacture) calibre, offering approx. 70 hours of power reserve.
Breitling’s iconic pilot’s chronograph – for the journey. In 1952, Willy Breitling developed a wrist-worn chronograph with a circular slide rule that would allow pilots to perform all necessary flight calculations. Two years later, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) announced the design as its official timepiece. The “navigation timer” – or Navitimer – was born. The AOPA was (and remains) the largest pilots’ club in the world, counting nearly every US aviator among its ranks. As the defacto pilot’s watch throughout the glory days of civil aviation, the Navitimer was worn by airline captains and aircraft enthusiasts.
