Breitling Navitimer 35

First released in 1954, the Breitling Navitimer has been in production longer than any other sporting chronograph. Complex yet elegant, you're bound to get lost in the dial … which probably isn't a good thing if you're using it to navigate while piloting an aircraft, but we digress... In the decades since its introduction, the Navitimer collection has seen countless variations that offer a wide range of design features, materials, complications and casing materials. This example, a Reference A17395361L1P1, offers a 35mm stainless steel case and features a sapphire crystal, signed crown and a bi-directional internal rotating bezel displaying a slide-rule navigational scale. Its sunburst green dial features a peripheral speed scale, applied, polished applied baton markers and luminous plots, a luminous handset, a red arrow center seconds hand and a dimpled bezel. Powered by the Breitling Calibre 17 — a modified ETA 2824-2 automatic movement — it comes paired to a green alligator leather strap with a matching pin buckle, all accentuating the vibrant mint dial. There’s no mistaking the aesthetics of a Breitling Navitimer. Even without a chronograph complication, the multi-scaled dial on this Navitimer 35 offers a load of history and style! Plus, the 35mm sizing makes this one of the most wearable Breitlings available for those that swing towards the smaller end of the sizing spectrum.
