Catalogue Essay
Breitling’s enduring aviation heritage soars with the Navitimer, their iconic pilot's chronograph. Conceived in 1952 with an integrated circular slide rule for flight calculations, the Navitimer was soon adopted as the official timepiece of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. Through the golden age of aviation, it graced the wrists of leading pilots and astronauts, including Scott Carpenter during the Mercury space program. Celebrated by mid-century cultural figures like Miles Davis for its irresistible style, the Navitimer embodied function and fashion for the jet set.
While remaining true to its roots, Breitling has refined the Navitimer across decades of iterations. This modern example features a hefty 46mm diameter pink gold case and bracelet, while polished and brushed finishes exude subtle luster. The beautifully contrasted silver and black dial and the AOPA wings at 12 o'clock ignite nostalgia. While utilizing new materials, the case and dial optimally capture the spirit of the mid-century icon. Complete with its full set of accessories, this outstanding example in unworn condition allows devotees to experience the quintessence of an enduring aviation legend reborn.

Artist Biography
Breitling
Swiss
• 1884
The firm started by Leon Breitling in 1884 is best known for its technical aviation and oceanic watches. Today, all models are outfitted with certified chronometer movements, used for accurate timing. Early aviation pioneers in specialized chronograph timepieces, Breitling introduced the circular slide rule to watches in the 1940s for use by pilots. The firm’s most iconic chronograph, the Navitimer, was introduced in 1954 and continues to be manufactured today. Another key model is the Duograph, a split-seconds chronograph that was Breitling's most prestigious wristwatch during the 1940s through '60s. Their watches are built on their reputation for precision and sturdiness.
