Breitling Navitimer Watches for Sale
Breitling Navitimer is the most iconic pilot’s chronograph ever created, launched in 1952 with a revolutionary circular slide rule bezel that lets aviators perform flight calculations — fuel consumption, climb rate, and distance — by simply turning the bezel. From the vintage 806 and 809 references to modern B01 and B03 Rattrapante movements, the Navitimer’s distinctive bidirectional bezel, chronograph pushers, and complex dial have made it an enduring symbol of aviation heritage.

Breitling Navitimer Buying Guide
The Breitling Navitimer 41 Automatic exemplifies the perfect balance between the Navitimer's legendary aviation heritage and everyday wearability. Powered by the Breitling Caliber 17 self-winding movement, it offers a 38-hour power reserve and chronometer-certified precision. The 41mm stainless steel case houses the iconic slide rule bezel with a black dial and contrasting silver subdials, creating the unmistakable Navitimer look. A sapphire crystal protects the dial, while the signed crown and polished pushers maintain the classic pilot-watch aesthetic that has defined the Navitimer since 1952.

Frequently Asked Questions About Breitling Navitimer
What makes the Navitimer bezel unique?
The Navitimer's circular slide rule bezel is a functional analog computer that allows pilots to perform multiplication, division, and unit conversions. By rotating the outer and inner bezel rings, wearers can calculate flight time, fuel consumption, climb rate, and distance. This was revolutionary in 1952 and remains the Navitimer's defining feature, with over 30 scale markings including statute miles, nautical miles, and kilometers.
How much does a Breitling Navitimer cost?
Breitling Navitimer prices range from approximately $3,500 for entry-level automatic 35/38mm models to $14,000 for B01 Chronograph references, and up to $40,000+ for limited editions and precious metal versions. The B01 Chronograph 43 offers the best value for the in-house movement, while the 41mm Automatic provides the most versatile everyday sizing at an accessible price point.
What is the difference between Navitimer and Navitimer B01?
The standard Navitimer Automatic uses the Breitling Caliber 17 (based on the ETA 2892) with a 38-hour power reserve and date window at 6 o'clock. The Navitimer B01 features Breitling's in-house Caliber B01 — a column-wheel chronograph with vertical clutch, 70-hour power reserve, and a date window at 4:30. The B01 is widely considered superior for its in-house manufacturing, longer power reserve, and smoother chronograph operation.
Is the Navitimer suitable for everyday wear?
Absolutely. While the Navitimer is aviation-inspired, models from 35mm to 43mm are perfectly suited for daily wear. The 41mm Automatic offers the best balance of heritage design and modern proportions, fitting comfortably under dress shirts and cuffs. The 38mm is ideal for smaller wrists, while the 46mm makes a bold statement. Water resistance ranges from 30m to 100m depending on the reference, adequate for daily life but not for swimming.
