A certain Willy BREITLING is contacted by an American association, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, AOPA) to create a chronograph. The latter decided to develop a real instrument that could be worn directly on the wrist in order to allow pilots to make their calculations at a glance, a real advance for the time. With the help of a mathematician named Marcel ROBERT, Breitling succeeded, after numerous trials and tests, in presenting a small revolution in the world of aviation and watchmaking, the Breitling Navitimer 806.What’s newThe most important novelty here is the return to the roots. The new Breitling Navitimer is a condensed version of what the Swiss watchmaking company has been doing best for the 70 years of the collection’s existence. It is presented on a 43 mm case and features the famous Manufacture Calibre B01, certified by the COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres). Three white sub-counters adorn the black dial and the white bidirectional bezel with a slide rule. Finally, the singularity that arouses so much nostalgia is the return of the AOPA (Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association) wings to their initial position at 12 o’clock.1An aviation classic on your wristThe Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph with its black dial and black leather strap perfectly combines tradition and modernity.
