The Breitling Navitimer has been aviation's definitive pilot watch since 1952, when it was adopted by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA). Its circular slide rule bezel doubles as a flight computer, and the in-house B01 chronograph movement is one of the best in the industry. Guide ranges run from $3,000 for the time-only Automatic to $9,000+ for the Cosmonaute and special editions.

What Makes the Navitimer Special
Slide Rule Bezel (Flight Computer)
The Navitimer’s signature circular slide rule can calculate fuel consumption, climb/descent rates, speed, distance, and conversions. It’s a fully functional analog computer on your wrist — the tool that defined pilot watches.
In-House B01 Chronograph
Breitling’s Caliber B01 features a column-wheel chronograph with vertical clutch, 70-hour power reserve, and COSC certification. It replaced third-party movements in 2009 and is widely regarded as one of the best modern chronograph calibers.
Aviation Heritage Since 1952
Designed in partnership with AOPA (Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association), the Navitimer bears the AOPA wings logo on many dials. It’s been the pilot’s chronograph of choice for over 70 years.
AOPA Wings + Iconic Dial
The Navitimer’s busy dial with three sub-registers and its characteristic beaded bezel edge make it instantly recognizable. Modern versions maintain the vintage proportions while upgrading the movement and materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Breitling Navitimer cost on eBay?
Breitling Navitimer guide ranges run from about $3,000 for the Automatic 41 (non-chronograph) to $9,000+ for the Cosmonaute and special editions. The most popular model — the B01 Chronograph 43mm (AB0138) — has a guide range of $5,000–$7,500 pre-owned with box and papers. The smaller 41mm B01 variant sits slightly lower at $4,500–$6,500.
How do you use the Navitimer slide rule bezel?
The Navitimer’s circular slide rule (flight computer) performs multiplication, division, fuel calculations, speed/distance/time computations, and currency conversions. The outer rotating bezel scale works against the fixed inner scale. For example, to multiply 12 × 15: align 12 on the outer scale with 10 on the inner scale, then find 15 on the inner scale and read 18 on the outer scale (180). Pilots used it pre-GPS for in-flight calculations.
What is the difference between the Navitimer and the Omega Speedmaster?
Both are legendary chronographs, but they serve different traditions. The Navitimer is aviation’s icon with its slide rule bezel and busier dial — designed for pilots. The Speedmaster is the space watch with a cleaner tachymeter bezel — designed for astronauts. The Navitimer uses Breitling’s in-house B01 movement; the modern Speedmaster uses Omega’s Caliber 3861. Both hold value well, but the Speedmaster has stronger resale.
What is the Breitling B01 movement?
The Caliber B01 is Breitling’s in-house automatic chronograph movement, introduced in 2009. It features a column-wheel chronograph mechanism, a vertical clutch for smooth operation, and a 70-hour power reserve. The B01 is COSC-certified and widely regarded as one of the best modern chronograph movements. It’s a major selling point over older Navitimers that used third-party movements.
