Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 46mm

Product Description

Experience the legend redefined with the Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 46mm, a striking reinterpretation of the world’s most iconic pilot’s watch. Crafted in robust stainless steel, this commanding 46mm timepiece features a radiant ice blue sunray dial with three contrasting white chronograph subdials capturing the perfect balance between precision engineering and elevated style.

Originally created in 1952 by Willy Breitling, the Navitimer revolutionized flight instrumentation with its signature circular slide rule bezel, allowing pilots to perform essential calculations mid-flight. By 1954, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) adopted the design as its official watch, cementing its place in aviation history. The return of the AOPA wings to their original 12 o’clock position on this model pays tribute to that heritage.

This modern edition stays true to its aviation roots while embracing contemporary refinement. A domed sapphire crystal and a flattened slide rule create a streamlined profile, while alternating polished and brushed finishes offer subtle depth and visual intrigue. The warm tones of the brown alligator leather strap add rich contrast to the icy dial, delivering a timeless, masculine elegance.

Powered by the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, a COSC-certified automatic chronograph movement, this watch delivers a 70-hour power reserve, chronometric accuracy, and seamless functionality. Designed for those who demand both presence and performance, it offers 3 bar (30 meters) of water resistance, luminous baton indexes, and bold hands for legibility in all conditions.

Worn by airline captains, space pioneers like Scott Carpenter, and cultural icons such as Miles Davis and Serge Gainsbourg, the Navitimer is more than a pilot’s watch it’s a cultural symbol of excellence, confidence, and adventure.
