Breitling Navitimer Heritage
The Breitling Navitimer Heritage honors an icon of pilot watches
The Breitling Navitimer Heritage pays tribute to one of the world's most sought-after pilot's watches from Breitling. The year 1952 is decisive for the extraordinary watch with the important functions and the robust design. At that time, the traditional company launched the original Navitimer. As an instrument for navigating and determining time, the Breitling Navitimer Heritage now honors this heritage of Swiss watchmaking in a new edition.
Remarkable details
The Breitling Navitimer Heritage is closely based on its great role model. However, the new edition of the famous pilot's chronograph from 1952 appears slightly smaller in diameter. From the original, the watch with its important functions for aviation has either a black or blue dial. The counters of the clock are color coordinated. Of course, the Breitling Navitimer Heritage also comes with the slide rule, which has already become an iconic extra. It is located on the bezel, which can be moved in either direction.
With this slide rule, pilots and hobby aviators can also make important calculations on the Navitimer Heritage. The wearers of the watch can quickly and precisely calculate average speeds, fuel consumption and rates of climb or descent. Breitling launched the original Navitimer when on-board electronics were not yet dominant in aircraft cockpits. At that time, Breitling's pilot's watch had a lasting influence on aviation.
Functional design
As a practical pilot's watch, the Breitling Navitimer Heritage is still popular and sought after by aviation enthusiasts today. And this despite the fact that the electronics in aircraft have long since taken over navigation. Even now, the legendary chronograph impresses with its precision and reliability. This is also reflected in the seal of the Official Swiss Chronometer Control (COSC) for the caliber. It impresses with its power reserve of at least 42 hours. The pilot's chronograph continues to set standards with its design. Red counters and other details provide elegant accents on the dial. The dial of the watch is protected by sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides.
