In 1952, Willy Breitling developed a wrist-worn chronograph with a circular slide rule that would allow pilots to perform all necessary flight calculations. Two years later, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) announced the design as its official timepiece. The “navigation timer” – or Breitling Navitimer – was born. The AOPA was (and remains) the largest pilots’ club in the world, counting nearly every US aviator among its ranks. As the defacto pilot’s watch throughout the glory days of civil aviation, the Navitimer was worn by airline captains and aircraft enthusiasts. It even made its way into space on the wrist of astronaut Scott Carpenter in 1962. And it wasn’t only pilots drawn to the watch’s irrepressible aesthetic. Celebrities of the day such as Miles Davis and Serge Gainsbourg were devotees, proving that the Navitimer had style as well as function.
The replica Breitling Navitimer Automatic 41 has an eye-catching modern appearance, drawing inspiration from the iconic Navitimer 806 watch and Breitling’s Navitimer 66 watch launched in the 1950s, and incorporating a modern appearance design. The dial diameter is 41 mm. Compared with the large diameter of the chronograph model, this watch is much smaller and is more suitable for most people to wear.
