In the early 1950s, Breitling collaborated with the AOPA (Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association) in order to make the slide rule of its Chronomat even more relevant to pilots. The end result, the Navitimer, was a well-conceived tool watch with outstanding legibility. The very first examples came with an all-black dial, but eventually the sub-registers became white to increase the contrast and make it even more legible. Similarly, the AOPA logo was replaced with the twin-jet logo, and the beaded bezel also evolved. Despite these minute cosmetic changes, the Navitimer remained pretty much identical through the years, proving how well executed its first draft was. This nice example is a 3rd series model, stainless steel snap-on caseback. Case measures 41mm excl. Powered by the manual winding movement Venus cal. 178 integrated chronograph with phillar wheel, 17 jewels, 18,000 bph, Incabloc shock protection. Overall in excellent condition, all functions work properly, the watch comes with a stainless steel aftermarket bracelet.
