Description

Since its introduction in 1952, the Breitling Navitimer has been regarded as an essential instrument for pilots and aviation enthusiasts worldwide. With its signature circular slide rule, it enabled precise flight calculations and quickly became the official timepiece of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA). Today, the Navitimer stands as one of the most renowned and beloved pilot’s watches in the world.

The bold 46 mm stainless steel case of the Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 46, fitted with a screwed sapphire crystal caseback, houses the powerful Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01 – a self-winding mechanical movement with chronograph function, 1/4th-second measurement, and an impressive power reserve of approximately 70 hours.

The cambered sapphire crystal, glareproofed on both sides, guarantees optimal legibility, while the flattened slide rule bezel combined with a bidirectional rotating bezel emphasizes the technical functionality of this aviation icon. Water resistant up to 3 bar, the watch remains true to its classic and elegant aesthetic.

A refined black alligator leather strap with stainless steel folding clasp completes the design, delivering both luxurious sophistication and maximum comfort.

From the cockpits of the 1950s to outer space on the wrist of astronaut Scott Carpenter, and even on the arms of cultural legends like Miles Davis and Serge Gainsbourg, the Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 46 has, for more than 70 years, symbolized adventure, precision, and timeless style.
