The Swiss company Breitling is the only major watch manufacturer to offer all of its models with chronometer-certified movements, the highest seal of approval in terms of precision. However, this is a recent development and has been implemented consistently only since 1999. Breitling previously had shaped the history of aviation for more than one hundred years. In 1936, Breitling became an official supplier to the Royal Air Force and after the introduction of the Chronomat watch in 1942, also an official supplier to the U.S. Army Air Force. Breitling also participates in the upswing of commercial aviation and has, since the mid-20th Century, upgraded a number of planes of various airlines with its onboard chronographs.
Already the Chronomat watch offered the possibility to perform important flight-related calculations by my means of its round calculating slide. With the slide-rule-based algorithms on the bezel of the Navitimer, this option has been improved so that even more complex calculations such as fuel consumption or rate of descent and ascent are possible in a short time. Additional operating comfort and safety is given by the double-sided antireflective sapphire glass, which allows the user to always read the watch independent of solar radiation and reflections.
Since the first edition in 1952, the Breitling Navitimer watch has remained in an unchanged form and character, she has become a classic among Breitling watches. Breitling himself describes the Navitimer as the "mother of all chronographs" and it is certainly the best-known model by the Swiss watch manufacturer. In 1962, a very special model was unveiled to the world, the Navitimer Cosmonaut is like a "space" version of the Navitimer. This watch was based on a direct request by astronaut Scott Carpenter in May 1962 and was "space-tested" on his orbital flight in the Aurora 7 capsule.
Carpenter had approached Breitling the year before with idea to design a 24-hour watch face, which should prove useful for space travelers, since it prevents noon and midnight from being confused.
Even after almost 60 years, the Navitimer is one of the most popular models on the market and it enjoys a popularity that continues to be just as strong today.
