The Breitling Chronomat was introduced in the 1940's with a slide rule chronograph. It was so popular, that in the early 1950's, Breitling introduced a second slide rule chronograph, the Navitimer. Like the Chronomat, the Navitimer features a slide rule bezel that allows pilots to make mathematical calculations and navigational computations.

I saw this vintage Heuer Camaro chronograph earlier today, over at Hodinkee. It features a black matte dial, three chronograph subdials and sporty contrasting red hands. After running a few searches, I could only find one available for sale here. What a beautiful watch.
