Navitimer – from flight tool to icon
A poignant tribute to the Boeing 747 – the Queen of the Skies
Special edition limited to 747 pieces
Cream dial with black sub-dials and a red inner slide rule scale with blue accents
Powered by the exceptional Breitling Calibre 01
In 1952, Willy Breitling developed a wrist-worn chronograph with a circular slide rule to enable pilots to perform all essential flight calculations. Since then, the Navitimer has become one of the most beloved mechanical chronographs in the world, worn by airline captains and aircraft enthusiasts alike.
This special edition Navitimer, limited to 747 pieces, pays homage to two aviation icons – the Navitimer and the Boeing 747. Offering a poignant tribute to the aircraft that changed the way we travel, the colours of the timepiece reflect those found on the original aircraft, while the open caseback is engraved with “One of 747” and “The Original Jumbo Jet”.
This limited edition timepiece sits confidently in a 43mm stainless steel case, secured with a classic black alligator leather strap.
Framed by a bi-directional bezel, the cream dial draws inspiration from the original aircraft, with three black sub-dials and a red inner slide rule scale with blue accents. A date display at 6 o’clock adds further functionality.
Driven by the Breitling Calibre 01 movement equipped with a 70-hour power reserve, this impressive watch is water resistant to 3 bars (30 metres).
