@@navghtivs Correct. We all learned how to use the " Whiz-wheel" rotary slide-rule... My Commercial flight examiner even asked me to show him how I did it so fast... twice.. Practice makes you good with things.
I wanted a Navitimer for years but couldn't afford one. When I got a job with the RAF I was finally able to save up to buy one, ironically, one to celebrate the RAF centenary. The Navitimer isn't everyone's cup of tea and I'm fine with that. I think you either like it or you don't.
@@valgehiir I only saw Chronomats in the military, so I wonder if it has to do with water proofing or MILSPECS or something, but I TOTALLY agree. The word iconic is thrown around everywhere, but this watch truly meets that mark!
@@valgehiir I can only surmise that it's more iconic in aviation circles, I remember seeing it on the back of my flypast magazine. Most of us know about the Speedmaster and who hasn't heard of Rolex? But that's just a theory
When I look at the Seiko Flightmaster or the Citizen Promaster Skyhawk I see a super busy jumble of numbers that make the dial seem overly crowded and hard to read. Conversely, the Navitimer is much neater in appearance, better laid out and definitely more elegant and refined. The Breitling Navitimer. My holy grail.
Just gorgeous, but for that price tag I'd personally go for a Vintage 806 Navitimer or 1809 Chronomatic in good condition from the 60s/70s! But I get that many might prefer the technical reassurance of a new watch with vintage design.
The question isn't "Should you buy a Navitimer?" but rather "Which Navitimer should you buy, and how many?" Breitling did sell a small number of 806 models, with the AOPA logo replace with Breitling's cursive B, in Europe, which is where my granddad got hold of his.
I don't even have a watch but damn i love this youtube channel, the watches are nice and the man currently voicing the video and explaining them is really great.

Another awesome video, thank you, Watchfinder. Love and respect Breitling, but Navitimer is too busy for me. When I see someone wearing it, I say wow cool watch, looks great on him, but on me? No.
I love your way of putting a watch I to perspective. I've not been drawn to the Navitimer and still am not, but I certainly have more understanding of, and respect for it. A real Tool Watch. Thank you.
I loved my Navitimer Olympus but sold it when my eyesight deteriorated with age. The busy dial needed reading glasses to read the dial. I like Breitling and still have a B50 which I love. Good video, thank you.
I almost bought the Olympus but didn't because I couldn't read it either and they wanted 6K USD for it used😊. But I bought the 806 anyway. I can see it well enough to calculate tips.😊
@@robertsullivan4773 As a Concorde fan I got hooked with the watch named after the RR engines fitted to the aircraft. Victim of the marketing dept. It was also a faff to keep the lunar cycle correct.
The history of the navitimer is amazing and singularly impressive. The design IS form and function. And in addition to superhero-like test pilots, Mikes Davis wore one on a black bund strap. Raquel Welch wore one in a movie as well. I would argue that the navitimer is higher in the list of must-haves than the speedmaster. There. I said it. Whut?!?!?
Most of the boutiques should be able to help you with that, they have manuals for it and cardboard demos to practice on - they were happy to go through it all with me when I bought mine. Otherwise there are a bunch of other videos that go though it, watchfinder even have an older video on how the navitimer functions work I believe
Love the Navitimer as it’s part of Breitling’s heritage, but I would only buy one for flash, not usefulness. This is something I’d wear if I wanted to show off.
Yes but get an older one. Valjoux or the eta movements. They go up on value. The new ones dont ! I own a 2001 and its absolutely stunning. Doubled in value since I bought it new :) stunning thing to look at and wear, so comfortable. Just no water resistance which sucks.
I’d happily own a A23322, but the latest re-editions aren’t really my cup of tea. As regards the classic ETA-based tricompax versions from 10 years ago (let alone the B01-based ones), I think prices have really gotten out of hands for what they are. So I happily leave them to the current in-crowd.
I’ve always found the modern Navitimer too ‘busy’ for my tastes, but there is something about the 1959 that strikes a chord with me and makes me wants to try one on in person. Wonder if we’ll ever be able to do that again? 🤷🏻♂️
If you skip the first ad you can.. then fast forward to the last 10 seconds of the video.. let it play-out.. then hit replay right away, most of the ads will not come up, and the few that do are skippable. works about 90% of the time.
I have to believe that most people buy a watch for the aesthetics. This may not apply to everyone, but most of my GMT-owning friends hardly travel outside the state, much less the country. There is not a single scuba diver amongst my colleagues who proudly don their Submariner. And despite paying a small fortune for the privilege, I have yet to see anyone use their Chronograph’s stopwatch. Breitling watches are for the people who lean into the absurdity of it all and say, “Here it is, world. My watch is so ridiculously complicated with its busy navigation slide-rule maze of a dial and bezel that nobody could possibly believe I actually use any of these features”. Breitling owners are the most honest of the bunch. They bought a gorgeous watch because it’s gorgeous, period.
Can you do a review on the Breitling Emergency lineage, Iconic watch and would make an interesting story for those that don’t know what it is. E56321 / E76321 / Orbiter.
Only if you want a watch with Incredible history, unique look and complications, that is somewhat exclusive as you won't see it hardly ever in the wild, comes from a company with real heritage, comes at a pretty fair price All Things Considered. If you like that stuff, the answer is yes, by one.
Confused by the comment, “straddling the Kitty Hawk” - Kitty Hawk is the name of a town near where the Wright brothers flew their “Wright Flyer” which was controlled by the pilot lying prone, not straddling.
I love the Navitimer, but would not use it for its intended purpose, plus its a very big watch. I also have a Speedmaster so dont need to buy another chrono 😅
@@robertsullivan4773 im more referring to the modern iteration of the Navi, the best looking ones are 43mm+. This one is well sized but im not huge on the classic design, thats just personal taste though
Just like everyone else's comments, I have always wanted this watch. I always said to my wife, when I make Captain at a Major Airline (after many years of struggling, hard work and being flat ass broke), I am buying a Navitimer. Well, the day is upon me. I want it to be a family heirloom. I'd like to think that some day, after I fly West, someone will wear it and say, "This was my Dad's watch. He wore it to work with pride everyday. Now, I do too."

Spectacular watch. People are so blinded by the Daytonas that they forget who were the real OGs of chronograph. The Navitimer and the Speedmaster
also the El Primero, the Heuer Monaco, Seiko etc. etc.
Totally agree man the El Primero is an amazing watch. The Navitimer is the greatest Chronograph ever made
Best looking watch ever made IMO. A classic icon and the King of Chronographs.
Love how the finish on the hands has a sort of fluffy crystalline look.
All very well But service will try ones patience, two years on and still trying to get new seals.

Now all they need is to make the regular edition 40mm with a breitling wings logo, that will be my champion
Yes and make it half the price instead of overpricing it as with the 01
