First released in 1952 and based on Breitling’s 1942 Chronomat, the Breitling Navitimer was the pilot’s watch to end all pilot’s watches. Following Breitling’s collaboration with the AOPA (Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association) to make the slide rule of its Chronomat even more relevant to pilots, the Navitimer was born as the ultimate pilot’s watch. Basically a hand-held computer, the Navitimer enabled pilots to quickly figure out fuel consumption rates, average speeds, convert between various scales, and much more. Offered here we have the Old Navitimer II ref. A13022 hailing from the 1990s. Made of stainless steel and measuring 41.5mm in diameter and 14.2mm tall, it wears with a distinctly modern wrist presence, something that Breitling’s timepieces have been known and loved for over the decades. Boasting a true-to-the-original black dial with a tri-compax design with three matching white subdials at 12, 6 and 9 o’clock and a date aperture at 3 o’clock, the A13022 features a white chapter ring for its slide rule bezel and punchy red accents that highlight the complexity of the Navitimer’s information-dense dial. A Navitimer variant that merges the collection’s historical aesthetic with Breitling’s modern build quality and attention to detail, the A13022 has helped power Breitling's ascension to the peak of sports watchmaking that they currently occupy in a manner that Breitling fans can only appreciate.

Watch is in excellent overall condition. Case exhibits some wear, with some light scratches and marks visible on the case. The watch comes with its signed original tang buckle.

Inarguably one of the most iconic watches ever, the Navitimer ref. A13022 merges the Navitimer's iconic identity with a modern sense of design that will seamlessly blend into any Breitling-lover's collection.
