COMPLICATIONS
WHAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT THIS WATCH?
"A chronograph that defined a profession. Still the reference any cockpit watch is measured against."
Historical Significance
Designed in 1952 for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, the Navitimer's circular slide rule made it the first true pilot's computer on the wrist.
Collector Appeal
Breitling's flagship and the most recognisable pilot chronograph silhouette in the world.
