SUMMARY

With a lineage that can be traced back to the 1940s, the Breitling Navitimer is one of the world’s most-recognised pilot’s watches thanks to its pioneering bi-directional ‘slide rule’, which allowed pilots and air-crew to work out calculations on the fly. This 2022 interpretation of the Breitling classic is finished in stainless steel and features an ice-blue chronograph dial. Meanwhile, a black alligator leather strap has been paired with the reference’s 43mm case; a combination that gives the watch a formal-yet-timeless appearance.
