What makes it stand out
Few brands can rival Breitling's history in making watches for pilots, and even fewer watches can rival the Navitimer as icons of the pilot's watch genre; the Navitimer, introduced in 1952, was so synonymous with aviation that the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) adopted its as its official watch. In terms of design, over the Navitimer's decades-long existence, not much has changed. The latest version of the Navitimer comes in various colors, but it still has the familiar three-register layout and the distinctive slide-rule bezel designed for critical airborne calculations.

The biggest change is on the inside, as modern Navitimers are powered by Breitling's in-house caliber B01 chronograph movement.
