3. Breitling Navitimer
Omega has the Master professional, Rolex has the submariner and Breitling has the Breitling Navitimer, its icon and it has been since 1952. Although not the first pilots watch to feature a circular slide rule and not even the first Chronograph to feature this function, the Navitimer in becoming the breitlings icon has made that circular logarithmic flight calculator an icon in its own right. First glance at the watch and it’s just redolent of aviation and I don’t mean flying commercial air, I mean goggles, I mean scarves, I mean spitfires with the canopy rollback. This is romantic aviation the way you imagine, the way you see it in Indiana Jones movies, and that’s as it should be because the Breitling as a mid century aviation icon captures that spirit.
Now this is the Navitimer reference A23322 that was released in 2003 and ran through the 2000s. It’s 42mm in diameter stainless steel with a black contrasting stitch calfskin strap. It’s very comfortable and feels great on the wrist, exactly the thing you want to have on your wrist during an air transatlantic crossing. The bottom line is that the watch is bulletproof contemporary Breitling inside. This is Breitling's caliber 23, very robust and reliable movement.
The watch features both the Chronograph that is chronometer certified COSC timing Accuracy, no worse than -4+6 for 24 hours as it should be with the pilots watch now and also features a jump date. The movement is based on the value 7753 so that is in the pantheon of automatic winding movements and one of the toughest and often one of the most accurate you can find. It's a true workhorse like the Breitling Navitimer itself and a precision tool that beautifully suited the model and the heritage of durability.
