The Navitimer B01 Chrono 41mm - AB0139211G1P1 stands as Breitling’s quintessential pilot’s chronograph, designed for those who embrace the journey. Originating in 1952 when Willy Breitling ingeniously combined a wristwatch with a circular slide rule to facilitate essential flight calculations, the Navitimer quickly became the official watch of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), the largest pilots’ club globally. This “navigation timer” quickly earned its place on the wrists of airline captains and aviation enthusiasts alike, even venturing beyond Earth aboard astronaut Scott Carpenter in 1962. Its timeless appeal transcended aviation, captivating personalities like Miles Davis and Serge Gainsbourg, merging sophisticated function with bold style. The latest iteration honors its heritage with refined touches: a flattened slide rule and domed crystal for a sleek profile; a harmonious blend of polished and brushed metals; vibrant new dial hues in blue, green, and copper; and a heartfelt revival of the original AOPA wings at 12 o’clock. Celebrating 70 years, the Navitimer remains an irreplaceable icon in Breitling’s collection, symbolizing precision, history, and enduring elegance for aviators and collectors worldwide.
