The Breitling Navitimer Chronograph is one of the world's most iconic luxury watches. A veritable watchmaking icon since its creation in the 1950s, this model embodies both technical precision and aviation history. Designed to meet the needs of pilots, the Navitimer Chronograph is today much more than a simple flight tool : it is an exceptional watch for lovers of fine watchmaking, combining bold design and remarkable chronometric performance. At Auberi, renowned watchmaker and jeweler, we are honored to offer this legendary timepiece in our exclusive boutiques in Cannes and Nice, dedicated to the Breitling brand.

The history of the Navitimer Chronograph : a watch for pilots

The Breitling Navitimer was launched in 1952, with a clear objective : to provide pilots with a complete navigation tool, capable of assisting them in their aerial calculations. The model quickly became famous for its integrated circular slide rule, enabling the measurement of essential parameters such as fuel consumption, speed and distance flown. So it's hardly surprising that the Navitimer has become a fixture in aircraft cockpits, used by pilots the world over.

The model's success was not limited to aviation. The Navitimer, with its distinctive design and innovative functionality, quickly found an audience beyond aviation professionals. Its precise chronograph and technical features made it a sought-after timepiece for watch enthusiasts and luxury watch lovers alike.

Iconic design and functionality

The Breitling Navitimer Chronograph is instantly recognizable thanks to its intricate, detailed dial. Its three chronograph sub-dials and slide rule remain key elements of its identity. These features, though purely technical in origin, also add an undeniable aesthetic dimension to the watch.

The Navitimer's bidirectional notched bezel enables the slide rule to be used with great precision, an asset for vintage watch enthusiasts. Although this feature is no longer as necessary for modern pilots, it remains a tribute to the watch's history and aeronautical roots, while adding a touch of uniqueness to its design.

Available in a range of sizes, from 41 mm to 46 mm, the Navitimer Chronograph offers options to suit all wrists and tastes. Its stainless steel or gold case is robust yet elegant, while the hands and hour-markers are coated with Super-LumiNova, guaranteeing excellent legibility even in low-light conditions. What's more, the domed sapphire crystal, anti-reflective on both sides, ensures perfect visibility, an essential feature for such a technical watch.

The Breitling B01 movement : a precision caliber

Beneath the dial of the Breitling Navitimer Chronograph lies a veritable jewel of watchmaking engineering : the B01 caliber. This automatic movement, entirely developed and manufactured by Breitling, is one of the most reliable and precise available on the market. It is also COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres) certified, guaranteeing remarkable precision and uncompromising reliability.

The B01 caliber is renowned for its 70-hour power reserve, enabling the watch to run continuously for several days. The movement is also designed to withstand demanding conditions, whether in terms of shock or vibration, ensuring the watch's longevity even in extreme environments.

The B01's chronograph functions, seamlessly integrated into the dial, enable precise measurement of short times. Watch enthusiasts will appreciate the ease of use of the chronograph, as well as the responsiveness of the pushers, a guarantee of high technical quality.

A versatile watch for modern adventurers

Although the Breitling Navitimer Chronograph was born in the cockpit of an airplane, today it is much more than a pilot's watch. Its timeless design and technical features make it a versatile watch, capable of accompanying lovers of fine watchmaking on all their adventures.

Whether you're an aviation enthusiast, a demanding professional or a lover of sophisticated timepieces, the Navitimer Chronograph adapts to any situation. Its robustness and water resistance (up to 30 meters) mean it can be worn for outdoor activities as well as more formal events. With a leather or steel bracelet, the Navitimer Chronograph goes equally well with casual wear or a suit, making it an everyday watch while retaining its prestigious allure.
