The Breitling Navitimer is arguably the brands most iconic watch and the more modern Navitimers are a nod to the aviation timepieces of the 1950’s that helped cement their reputation as a leading name in pilots watches. It was conceived as a flight computer for the wrist and when used in conjunction with the slide rule bezel it could be used to make all the necessary calculations a pilot may need to make.

As well as being a functional tool watch the design is such that it makes a stylish & eye catching piece on the wrist. This particular watch has a stunning blue dial with contrasting sub dials , date aperture and applied index markers that make it very legible. The case is fixed to a stainless steel Navitimer bracelet. At a fraction under 42mm in diameter and 14.6mm thickness the watch is a very wearable daily for most wrists. The watch is powered by the caliber Breitling 23 Automatic movement which is based on the Valjoux 7753 and has a power reserve of 42hrs.
