In 1952, Breitling created the Navitimer watch, a “wrist instrument” specifically designed for pilots and other aviation professionals. Equipped with a circular slide rule, this chronograph soon became a cult object among passionate aeronautical enthusiasts. A loyal companion to airborne adventurers, it has always had the world as its horizon. The new Navitimer GMT confirms this vocation and thinks big with an imposing 48 mm case. The ingenious Manufacture Breitling Calibre B04 visible through the sapphire caseback powers an exceptionally functional dual timezone system: simply pulling the crown out and turning it backwards or forwards in one-hour increments is enough to adjust the watch to the hour and date of the travel timezone, while maintaining home time in 24-hour mode and losing no precision in terms of the minutes.
