Born from the golden age of aviation, this slide-rule legend trades its famous chronograph for pure, uncluttered elegance. Downsized to a wrist-friendly 38mm, it slips just as naturally under a flight jacket as a dinner cuff. Collectors who love the romance of the Navitimer story, yet want an effortless daily wearer, have finally met their match.

Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. A sunray blue dial anchors the design, shifting from deep midnight to bright cobalt as light catches the surface. Encircling it, the signature beaded slide-rule bezel draws the eye with its intricate, textured rhythm as equal parts tool and jewelry. Polished stainless steel wraps the slim case, throwing clean reflections so the watch punches well above its understated footprint.

Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, and date. A smooth pull-out crown handles everything, with the first position quick-setting the date and a full pull hacking the seconds for precise time-setting. Overhead, the rotating slide-rule bezel still performs old-school flight math like fuel burn, airspeed, and unit conversions, the same feature that captivated pilots seven decades ago. From a complete stop, 30 to 40 clockwise turns of the crown at its resting position fully wind the mainspring. Self-winding rotor motion keeps the 38-hour power reserve topped up, backed by 30 meters of water resistance.

Comes as a complete set, boxed with its warranty card, leather travel case, instructions-for-use booklet, and circular slide-rule reference card.

Equal parts aviator’s instrument and gentleman’s everyday companion, few watches pull off that duality with such effortless charm. Picture it peeking from a crisp white cuff or paired with a flight jacket and aviators straight off a Top Gun flight line. For the collector chasing a true icon sized for real life, this piece quietly makes its own case.
