The Breitling Navitimer, introduced in 1952, quickly became a favourite among aviators thanks to its innovative slide rule bezel, designed for performing crucial in-flight calculations. Combining precision chronograph functionality with a practical navigation tool, the Navitimer set itself apart as more than just a watch—it was an essential cockpit instrument. Over the decades, it has retained its iconic design while evolving with modern advancements, remaining a cornerstone of Breitling’s aviation heritage.
