Breitling Navitimer Heritage
"Breitling is finally getting back to its core business—making tools for professionals," says Edward Faber. He's referring to the firm's return to its roots in aviation. (Yes, there's some substance behind those cheesy ads starring part-time flyboy John Travolta.) As a matter of fact, Gaston Breitling dreamed up the first wristwatch chronograph to be issued to pilots, and his firm was the Royal Air Force's official supplier through World War II. The Navitimer was introduced in 1952, and its design has remained reassuringly unchanged since then. What's with the name? Turns out the Navitimer was originally developed as a navigation tool for pilots, who could use its slide-rule bezel to calculate remaining distance and fuel consumption.
