Breitling Navitimer 1 B01 Chronograph 46 Chronometer ref. AB0127211C1A1 – Box & Booklets

Breitling SA was founded in 1884 by Léon Breitling – a passionate and innovative watchmaker known for his sharp business sense. In 1915 – barely a year after he had passed – his son, Gaston, demonstrated he had inherited his father’s pioneering spirit by introducing one of the first-ever wrist chronographs with a separate push-piece above the crown. The brand’s innovations continued well into the following decades, and in 1952 – with Willy Breitling in the driver’s (or rather pilot’s) seat – the Navitimer made its debut. The model proved extremely popular among pilots and aircraft manufacturers and would later come to signify the beginning of Breitling’s avionic legacy.

The Navitimer 1 B01 Chronograph honors the design of its historic predecessor while at the same time reinventing itself as a thoroughly contemporary timepiece. It measures a modern 46 mm in diameter, features a striking sun-ray panda dial, and incorporates many of the brand’s iconic elements, such as the unmistakable slide-rule bezel and the eye-catching bracelet. What makes this iteration of the model truly special, however, is that Breitling decided to update it with its remarkable in-house chronograph movement.
Inside, proudly displayed by the transparent caseback, the aforementioned Breitling cal. B01 is tirelessly ticking away.
