In 1935 the world saw the first twin-engine propeller aircraft take off. The Douglas DC-3 was a sensation; it revolutionized air transport by enabling commercial flights with a minimum number of stops to proceed successfully. With the companionship of a Breitling onboard chronograph, the Douglas was deemed extremely reliable and profitable due to its peerless performances.
The Navitimer world travel watch epitomizes the complex mechanical precision that has remained uncompromised throughout the years of development. The onboard chronographs found on civilian and military aircraft displays the same high caliber movements present in Breitlings wristwatches. The Navitimer world travel watch is distinguished by its clearly legible dual time zone system; a red-tipped additional central hand displays the time in another area of the globe; indicating whether it is day or night in the relevant location. The large case which is available in steel or rose gold enhances the contemporary look of the timepiece; and protects the complex self winding chronograph movement inside.
Throughout Breitling’s illustrious past it has been well distinguished for producing reliable and accurate movements. A high-performance caliber endowed with state-of-the-art architecture was introduced in 2009, this development opened Breitling up to a new world of watch making. Breitling is now renowned for possessing its own signature chronograph movement. Breitling has transformed its technique to produce innovative mechanical movements; this design took inspiration from an avant-garde concept. Breitlings constant quest for perfection has lead them to a triumphant conclusion, the Navitimer world watch is an ambassador for the already radiant reputation which Breitling upholds.
