 +====== Breitling Navitimer ======
 +{{wst>image_cr|Breitling|Navitimer Airborne}}
 +
 +Model range by [[Breitling]]
 +
 +The aviator [[chronograph]] **Navitimer**, a further development of the [[Breitling Chronomat|Chronomat]], was brought onto the market by [[Breitling]] in [[1952]] and since then has become a well-known and popular watch classic.
 +
 +In comparison with the Chronomat it has an even more complex [[bezel]] with logarithmic, double rotating slide rule scale, with which fuel consumption, rate of climbing or sinking and average speeds can be calculated quickly. At a time when electronics were not as heavily dominating as today, a model with such useful features was greatly appreciated especially by airplane pilots. Therefore in [[1952]] the Navitimer was officially recommended as [[pilot's watch]] by the "Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association" (AOPA).
 +
 +From [[1954]] until the first half of the year [[1955]] the [[calibre]] [[Valjoux 72]] was used for this watch, later the [[calibre]] [[Venus 178]] was installed. Since [[2010]] the newly developed [[manufacture calibre]] [[Breitling B01]] is used. Accordingly, the model name was changed to **Navitimer 01**.
 +
 +Over the years there were produced numerous versions of the first Navitimer. So the external dimensions of the original Navitimer, originally 40 mm in diameter and about 15 mm height, were significantly reduced. This reduction was possible without changing the features or the quality of the watch. To achieve this, however, and to leave the date display at the position of the digit "3", the small dials for the stop function had to be shifted.
 +
 +Since [[1969]] the popular model was also offered with [[automatic winding]] (including the [[Breitling Calibre 13]] and the Breitling 30). These later automatic models received a date display between the "4" and the "5". Today, there are variants of the Navitimer with even further [[complication]]s such as [[perpetual calendar]], [[rattrapante]] or [[flyback]].
