That move was an absolute game-changer, and before long, air forces such as the RAF were commissioning Breitling chronographs for their pilots.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhile the Navitimer — with its slide rule and its indelible association with astronaut Scott Carpenter — is perhaps the best-known of Breitling’s aviator’s chronographs, the easier to read Reference 765 and its successor, the Reference 1765, are in our opinion the most wearable. Simply put, it’s a smokeshow, in the way that only military or military-inspired chronographs can be.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis piece is a Reference 1765 and features a 40mm stainless steel case with an acrylic crystal, a signed crown and a painted steel bidirectional bezel that largely remains intact. The matte black ‘reverse panda’ dial includes luminous tritium markers, silvered radial subsidiary registers and a matching stylized handset. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAt its core is the Venus Calibre 178 hand-winding movement — the same found the Co-Pilot Reference 765 and early Breitling Navitimers that are highly coveted. It comes fitted to our Analog:Shift Jones brown leather strap with a steel pin and buckle and it makes for a near-perfect pairing, if we do say so ourselves!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThough not a bestseller, the Unitime gets points in our book for being\u003cem\u003e just plain cool\u003c\/em\u003e, the perfect watch for the enthusiast who wants to channel their inner chopper pilot whenever they put it on.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Breitling","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40310486794327,"sku":"40940090","price":10900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/files\/AS08966_40940090_BREITLING_UNITIMECHRONOGRAPH_1765-2.jpg?v=1698953119","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/breitling-unitime-chronograph-as08966","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
