As one of the premiere high end luxury brands, Breitling is known for introducing high quality, very aesthetically pleasing watches.

Additionally, this model is the world’s longest continuously produced wrist watch (it was first produced in 1952).

The Navitimer is a Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC) certified chronometer.

As with practically any wristwatch, the Navitimer tells its user the time with its hour, minute, and seconds hands. Additionally the watch has three counters for its chronograph functionality. Furthermore, the Breitling model uses a dial aperture for its calendar functionality.

The Breitling Navitimer uses an automatic, self winding mechanical movement. One of the great aspects of this watch is that it uses a 42 hour power reserve function. Further technical specifications are that it uses a Breitling 23 caliber with 25 jewels. Also, the watch has a cambered sapphire, glare proofed crystal for viewing. Lastly, the mechanical movement runs at 28.8K vibrations per hour.
