Discover the Breitling Navitimer, a revolutionary watch combining navigation and timing, specifically designed for aviation. This book explores the extraordinary journey of this chronograph since its inception in 1952, an icon of horology that has spanned generations while maintaining its original essence.
Navitimer: The Epic of the Breitling Chronograph delves into the fascinating history of one of the most iconic chronographs globally. Since 1884, Breitling has specialized in time measurement, quickly establishing strong ties with aviation under Willy Breitling's guidance in the 1930s. In 1952, in collaboration with the AOPA, Breitling developed the Navitimer, offering a chronograph combined with a slide rule for pilots for the first time.
Initially launched for AOPA members in 1954 and made available to the general public in 1955, the Navitimer has not only survived several crises but has also evolved without ever denying its DNA. For 70 years, it has captivated aviation professionals, celebrities, and watch enthusiasts alike, affirming its status as a horological icon.
This book is part of the "Watch Stories" collection, documenting the history of the most iconic watch models, thus illustrating the unique history and saga of the Navitimer from its inception to current models.
