SUMMARY

The Breitling Navitimer is a true icon of watchmaking and has been produced continuously since the early 1950s. With an aesthetic that’s changed very little over the years, its timeless design is both handsome and functional. The watch has its roots in aviation and was initially designed as an aid for pilots. To this day, it’s still equipped with a bi-directional rotating slide rule that allows the wearer to perform calculations relevant to flying.
