Navitimer: A Legacy of Aviation Timing Excellence

Originally launched in 1952, the Breitling Navitimer quickly became a trusted tool for professional pilots.

Today, pre-owned Navitimer watches remain in demand for their heritage and technical appeal. From vintage Breitling Navitimer 806 models to modern interpretations like the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 46, each timepiece in our collection offers both utility and historical significance. At The 1916 Company, you'll find authentic Breitling Navitimers with automatic chronograph movements, 41mm to 46mm case sizes, and stainless steel or precious metal finishes. Whether you're a pilot, enthusiast, or first-time buyer, our curated offerings deliver value and timeless craftsmanship.

To wind a Breitling Navitimer, rotate the crown at least 20 times in a clockwise direction to start the movement before wearing. Or, continue to wind manually until the mainspring has been fully wound. Breitling recommends winding the watch if it hasn't been worn in a few days.
Poor quality printing or engraving of the logo, dial, or case back are the best way to spot a fake Breitling. Always purchase a Breitling Navitimer through a trusted pre-owned watch dealer like The 1916 Company to prevent purchasing a fake Breitling.
