Pilot's watch with functional DNA

The history of the Navitimer dates back to 1952. Developed as a professional instrument for pilots, it quickly became an icon thanks to its distinctive slide-rule bezel. It allowed important calculations such as speed, flight time, and fuel consumption to be performed directly on the wrist – long before digital onboard computers became standard.

The design of today's Navitimer 1 B01 Chronograph remains functional and traditional. The rotating bezel, the detailed dial with three subdials, and the clear scale structure make the watch immediately recognizable as a Navitimer. Despite its technical appearance, it remains balanced and easy to read – a typical feature of this series.

Precision from our own development

Inside the watch is the Breitling Caliber B01 – a chronograph movement developed entirely in-house. It features a power reserve of approximately 70 hours, a column-wheel mechanism, and a vertical clutch. The pushers operate precisely, and the chronograph's operation is perfectly calibrated.

The movement is COSC-certified and thus designed for proven chronometer performance. Many models allow the caliber to be viewed through a sapphire crystal caseback. For technology enthusiasts, the Navitimer 1 B01 offers not only reliable functionality but also a visual insight.

Variants with a classic appearance

The Navitimer 1 B01 Chronograph is available in a variety of finishes. Stainless steel, two-tone, or rose gold form the base, combined with dials in black, silver, blue, or panda design. Leather, stainless steel, or rubber straps ensure comfort and individual style. The model series remains versatile—yet unmistakably Navitimer.
