Introduced in the early 1950s, the Navitimer quickly became the official watch of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), cementing its place in aviation history. The Montbrillant variant pays homage to Breitling’s historic workshop, where some of the brand’s most important chronographs were developed. With its slightly smaller 38 mm case, this model offers a more elegant and versatile interpretation of the classic Navitimer, while preserving the full technical complexity and visual depth of the slide-rule dial. From the photos, the watch features a beautifully preserved black dial with crisp white sub-registers, strong contrast scales, and the iconic Breitling winged logo at 12 o’clock. The case shows light, honest signs of wear, adding character without detracting from its presence. The original Breitling buckle further enhances authenticity and collectability. This is a refined aviation chronograph suited equally for collectors, enthusiasts, or those seeking a timeless tool watch with genuine historical significance. Express Delivery Via UPS Express
