Lot Essay

The Navitimer debuted in 1954 and its name is derived from a combination of the words "navigator" and "timer." Breitling and AOPA (Aircraft Owners & Pilots Association) decided to develop a revolutionary wristwatch featuring a chronograph and a navigation tool - a slide rule that allows pilots calculate speed, remaining distances, fuel consumption and other useful information. Since the inception of the Navitimer, Breitling has made many variations of the model. The present example is an interesting variation, named the Navitimer Airborne. This watch features a 38mm case which is smaller than most of the Navitmier's and it also features an subsidiary dial at 12 o'clock displaying the date in an analog fashion. The date is controlled by a corrector on the side of the case at 11 o'clock.
