Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 46 Black Dial Watch AB0137211B1P1

The Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 46mm Black Dial (Ref. AB0137211B1P1) honours seven decades of aviation heritage since Willy Breitling’s revolutionary 1952 design featuring circular slide rule for flight calculations, officially adopted by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association in 1954. The iconic navigation timer worn by airline captains, astronaut Scott Carpenter in space, and celebrities like Miles Davis demonstrates timeless appeal that transcends pure aviation functionality.

At 46mm with substantial construction, this provides commanding pilot’s watch presence through flattened slide rule and domed crystal creating sleeker profile illusion whilst maintaining authentic aviation calculation capability. The alternating polished and brushed metal elements create lustrous yet understated finish whilst the bidirectional slide rule enables complex flight computations including fuel consumption and navigation calculations.

The Manufacture Calibre B01 delivers 70-hour power reserve with column wheel chronograph construction ensuring precise timing functionality whilst the COSC certification validates chronometer accuracy essential for professional aviation applications. The self-winding mechanism operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour with 47 jewels providing robust performance.

The return of AOPA wings to original 12 o’clock position creates nostalgic authenticity whilst the cambered sapphire crystal and alternating finishes demonstrate modern refinements. The black alligator leather strap with folding clasp provides sophisticated presentation.

This Navitimer B01 suits aviation professionals and enthusiasts seeking authentic pilot’s chronograph with genuine slide rule functionality and proven aviation heritage. The substantial 46mm sizing and comprehensive timing scales provide professional capability whilst the iconic design and AOPA connection honour Breitling’s distinguished aviation legacy.
