We are pleased to offer this preowned Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph with Reference AB0138211B1P1. Breitling’s iconic pilot’s chronograph – for the journey. In 1952, Willy Breitling developed a wrist-worn chronograph with a circular slide rule that would allow pilots to perform all necessary flight calculations. Two years later, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) announced the design as its official timepiece. The “navigation timer” – or Navitimer – was born. The AOPA was (and remains) the largest pilots’ club in the world, counting nearly every US aviator among its ranks. As the defacto pilot’s watch throughout the glory days of civil aviation, the Navitimer was worn by airline captains and aircraft enthusiasts. 

This timepiece has a 43mm stainless steel case that surrounds a black dial. Atop the case is a bidirectional slide rule bezel. The case of the watch is attached to a black alligator leather strap with a stainless steel folding clasp. The self-winding mechanical Breitling 01 Caliber movement powers this watch and features a chronograph function with a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. The condition of this watch is excellent and it appears unworn, showing extremely light signs of wear. Accompanying the watch is its original blue travel box, pillow, quick start guide warranty holder, and international warranty card.
