The Breitling Navitimer AB0137 is one of the most recognisable pilotโs chronographs ever made, carrying forward a design language that dates back to the 1950s. This 2023 model features a classic black dial with contrasting chronograph sub-dials and the signature circular slide rule bezelโan aviation tool originally used by pilots for in-flight calculations.
The 46mm stainless steel case gives it strong wrist presence, making it one of the larger, more commanding Navitimer configurations. Paired with a black leather strap, it retains the traditional pilot-watch aesthetic that defines the model. Inside, it is powered by the in-house Breitling Calibre B01 automatic chronograph movement, offering a robust ~70-hour power reserve and COSC-certified precision.
The Navitimer is not just a watchโitโs a functional instrument. The slide rule bezel allows calculations such as fuel consumption, airspeed, and distance, which is why it became a staple for pilots and aviation enthusiasts. Despite its technical heritage, the Navitimer is not a dive watchโit is water-resistant to around 30m, reinforcing its identity as an aviation instrument rather than a sports diver.
