Navitimer B01 Chronograph 18k Red Gold 43mm - Black on Leather Strap

Founded in 1884 by Léon Breitling, Breitling was an early pioneer in producing timekeepers, especially chronographs, for sports as well as for automobiles and airplanes. It was aviation that Breitling would primarily embrace, and which influenced the creation of its two most storied watches, the Chronomat and the Navitimer, which introduced the innovative slide rule bezel that allowed pilots to make quick calculations on their wrist. Breitling has become the favored watch of pilots and jet-set travelers and has expanded the scope of its appeal with models like the Superocean divers’ watch and its dressy sport chronograph, the Premier. Breitling has also revamped and expanded the size offerings in both its Navitimer and Chronomat collections, demonstrating a continued commitment to the aviation classics that put it on the map.
