Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 North America Limited AB01381E1G1P1

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. 

There have been many iterations of Breitling’s icon since its debut 70 years ago, but this new Navitimer captures its most classic features, while enhancing them with modern refinements. A flattened slide rule and a domed crystal create the illusion of a sleeker profile. Alternating polished and brushed metal elements give a lustrous, yet understated finish. And if there is one update sure to spark nostalgia, it’s the return of the AOPA wings to their original position at 12 o’clock.
