Breitling Navitimer

Breitling Navitimer in brief

The Navitimer was introduced in 1952 for pilots as a chronograph carrying a circular slide rule on the bezel. With this rule, pilots could do flight calculations such as fuel consumption, rate of climb and distance on the watch.

The finely toothed bezel, the logarithmic scale around the dial and the three-subdial layout make the Navitimer recognizable from afar. In the family renewed in 2022, the AOPA winged logo of the first models returned to the dial.

Common references and sizes

The Navitimer B01 Chronograph is seen in 43 and 46 mm, the Navitimer Automatic in 41 mm (time and date) and 38 mm, and also in GMT and world-time versions.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to use the slide rule?

No. Most owners love it for the design; but it can really be used for simple calculations such as currency conversion or average speed.

Doesn't the dial look crowded?

The Navitimer's dial is deliberately dense. Those who want a plainer look choose the Navitimer Automatic without a chronograph.

Which size should I choose?

43 mm is the classic chronograph size; 46 mm is very noticeable, while 41 mm looks plainer and more elegant.

Which case sizes does the Breitling Navitimer come in?

The catalog currently has case sizes of 32, 36, 41, 43, 46 mm. Our wrist size guide makes it easy to see which one fits your wrist.
