Breitling AOPA Navitimer

SOLD

Description

Founded in 1884 by Leon Breitling, Breitling quickly rose to being recognized as one of the top manufacturers in the world, and especially in the field of tool and pilot watches.

The Breitling Navitimer’s history is a bit muddled, but it is believed that with the success of the Chronomat, Breitling decided to release another slide-rule chronograph as a follow-up, which would become the Navitimer. Early examples of the watch were outfitted with the AOPA (Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association) logo, and common belief is that the watch was designed for AOPA members.

The Navitimer has risen to icon-status by collectors. Most well-seasoned collectors own one of these historic watches, many owning more than one example. The example we offer you is an early example, featuring a gilt AOPA logo, and the popular “all-black” layout with black registers against a black gloss dial. The dial is very clean and in great condition and the case has thick and even lugs. As is often with these watches, the lume and slide-rule has aged to a green hue.
