For its 125th anniversary, Breitling has revived its legendary Navitimer. Launched in 1952, this timepiece became an iconic object. With its exclusive chronograph movement, certified by COSC to ¼ of a second, and centre 60-minute totalizer, this revival is embellished by the highly original Air Racer rigid bracelet with holes, a tribute to a modern design icon dating from the 1960's. More than ever, Breitling has remained faithful to its history: to its passion for chronographs on the one hand and to its destiny, closely linked to aviation, on the other. It is not by chance that the "official supplier to world aviation" has chosen to celebrate this most emblematic of instruments for professionals in this anniversary year.
