Of all the Breitling Navitamers, the B01 Chronograph 43 best combines the two main things dedicated collectors want: Recognizable and effective design, and undeniable lore and legend. This timepiece is based on a template created by Willy Breitling himself that became the official watch of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Associate. It also went into space in 1962.
The B01 43 encapsulates all of the original’s important features, leveled up with modern tech and materials. Hardcore watch people instantly recognize the iconic slide rule design, while casual enthusiasts will simply recognize how distinctly cool it is. This contemporary take features a flattened design, with a domed crystal, and a lustrous finish throughout. Of course, it runs on a masterful movement, the 47-jewel Breitling 01, which has a 70-hour power reserve.
