The Breitling Navitimer 1 Automatic 41 was introduced as part of the brand’s effort to refine and modernise one of its most iconic designs.
While the original Navitimer, launched in 1952, was developed as a chronograph tool watch for pilots, the Automatic 41 offers a cleaner, time-and-date interpretation that broadens its everyday appeal. By removing the chronograph sub-dials but retaining the signature circular slide rule bezel, Breitling preserved the model’s strong aviation identity while creating a more streamlined and versatile piece.
The result is a watch that respects the Navitimer’s heritage but presents it in a balanced 41mm format suited to contemporary wear.
