Navitimer B01 Chronograph 41
RB0139211Q1P1 Navitimer
Description
The Navitimer is the undeniable icon in Breitling’s catalog, amongst the most important chronographs, and famous for being one of the longest continuously produced timepieces in watchmaking history. Initially developed in 1952 as the ideal in-flight wrist computer, with its circular slide rule and chronograph movement, it quickly became a favorite among pilots, professionals, and enthusiasts worldwide. The Navitimer rose to prominence alongside the golden age of civil aviation, even journeying into space on astronaut Scott Carpenter’s wrist in 1962. The blend of its function and distinctive look attracted not only professionals, but icons like Miles Davis, Serge Gainsbourg, Jim Clark, and Graham Hill.
