Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute

Details

Breitling's iconic Navitimer might just be the most recognisable pilots watch on the market. Its name, a portmanteau of 'navigation' and 'timer', points squarely to its intended use as a pilot's tool. First released to the public in 1954, it was produced with a plethora of dial variations. While many had the 'Navitimer' text, some were signed with 'Geneve' or 'Cosmonaute' writing.

This Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute is in excellent condition for its age, with wear marks and scratches throughout the case. The edges and bevels are all very crisp, and the watch is potentially unpolished.

BREITLING

Originally founded in 1884, Breitling was a pioneer in chronograph watches. The company's first chronograph wristwatch was created in 1915, although the most significant development was the separation of the start and stop functions from the reset pusher. This meant that a user could stop the chronograph and continue it later without having to reset the function.
