Born from Breitling’s deep-rooted aviation heritage, this Navitimer carries the iconic slide rule bezel paired with a black dial and contrasting silver subdials, an unmistakable configuration long favored by pilots and collectors alike. Well-suited for enthusiasts who value mechanical precision, it combines the practicality of an in-house chronograph with a design rooted in real aviation functionality.

Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. The black dial is brought to life by contrasting silver subdials, creating a reverse panda effect that shifts subtly in tone as light moves across its surface. Surrounding the dial, the slide rule bezel adds both visual depth and technical intrigue, with its intricate scales reinforcing the Navitimer’s aviation roots. The stainless steel case showcases a refined mix of brushed and polished finishes, allowing light to play dynamically across its surfaces as the watch moves on the wrist.

Functions include hours, minutes, small seconds, chronograph, and date. The crown on the right side of the case manually winds the movement in its first position, while pulled to the outermost position it sets the hour, minute, and seconds hands simultaneously. The top pusher on the right side starts and stops the chronograph function, while the bottom pusher resets the chronograph hands back to zero. The date can be adjusted by rotating the crown when in the intermediate position. The bidirectional slide rule bezel can be rotated to perform aviation calculations such as speed, distance, and fuel consumption.

Comes as a full set, double-boxed with outer box, Breitling presentation box, watch pillow, leather travel case, international warranty card, and Breitling booklets.

An enduring symbol of aviation timekeeping, the Navitimer’s slide rule bezel and reverse panda dial configuration continue to define one of the most recognizable chronograph designs ever produced. A strong choice for collectors seeking a watch with true historical purpose, it offers both visual presence and mechanical depth worth adding to any serious rotation.
