Why We Love it

Since 1952, Breitling’s Navitimer has been synonymous with aviation, encapsulating the very idea of the “pilot’s watch” and pioneering several features that have remained part and parcel of the Breitling catalog for over 70 years.

The slide-rule bezel, used to make navigational and other calculations before the advent of digital avionics, may have been rendered obsolete since the early days of commercial aviation when the Navitimer was born. But the distinctly old-school mathematical table lives on in the classic Navitimer collection, and now, as part of the Navitimer Automatic 41 line, which removes the chronograph function but retains the slide rule bezel’s multi-scale functionality.

Housed in a 41mm stainless steel case with a notched bezel, a screw-down crown, and a  sapphire crystal, this particular Navitimer Automatic 41 features a beautiful blue sunray dial with multiple scales in white and red; applied steel hour indices; and a lumed ‘sword’ handset. Powered by the Breitling Calibre 17 automatic movement with 38 hours of power reserve, it comes paired to a blue alligator leather strap with a stainless steel pin and buckle.

Streamlines for contemporary everyday wear, it’s the perfect tool watch for the modern-day aviator. 

Brand Story

+
Breitling, one of the most illustrious names in the annals of the “tool watch,” was founded by Léon Breitling in 1892. And though the firm is no longer operated by its namesake family, it still produces some of the world’s best pilot’s watches, many of which now feature in-house movements.

The company first started manufacturing wrist chronographs as early as the 1930s. In 1936 they became an official supplier to military forces of the United Kingdom and Canada. While perhaps best known for the Navitimer and Chronomat lines — which were used heavily by pilots of many nations — Breitling also produced scores of other chronograph models that merit consideration, such as the more affordable Top Time and Premier. Dive watches, such as the Super Ocean, are also part of the company’s offerings.

The late 1970s was a turbulent time for the Swiss watch industry, and many storied houses were swept away by the Quartz Crisis. By 1978, Breitling was in trouble due to the illness of its leader, Willy Breitling, and the steep decline in sales that had cut through the entire industry. Unable to keep operations going, the company was liquidated, and parts, toolings and naming rights were sold off.
Between 1979 and 2017, Breitling continued under the ownership of the Schneider family. In 2017 an 80% stake in the firm was sold to a British private equity firm, with the remaining 20% sold in 2018. In 2019, the company released the caliber B01, an in-house, automatic chronograph movement that’s since found its way into the Chronomat and Navitimer collections, bringing the tale of this famed manufacturer full circle.
