Breitling

Navitimer

A rare, large vintage aviation wrist chronograph with slide rule function via bidirectional rotating bezel

Sold

Breitling’s Navitimer models were developd as navigation watches for pilots, who were able to calculate the remaining distance and fuel consumption etc. with the slide rule. The designers of the watch chose an extra-large case size to ensure easy readability.
This model was made in 1965. The case shows some gentle signs of age. The movement is engraved "WOG", an US American import mark of the Wakmann Watch Co. Inc., the American importer of Breitling timepieces.
