Breitling worked closely with watch collector Fred Mandelbaum who has possibly the largest collection of vintage Breitling in the world. It has a 41mm polished and brushed stainless steel case, bevelled edged lugs with a lug-to-lug length of 48.5mm and a thickness of 13.5mm ensuring a comfortable fit on your wrist, these dimensions are faithful to the original. On the right side, chronograph piston pushers and a signed screw-down crown. The high-domed acrylic crystal sits above the black dial, the black dial has an outer bi-directional rotating logarithmic slide-rule navigation computer which makes complex mathematical calculations useful to pilots, you can measure a lot of things such as gasoline consumption, miles per minute, ground speed, rate of descent/climb, distance in descent/climb and nautical / statute mile conversion. Arabic numeral indices coated in aged Super-LumiNova mark the hours, and three recessed registers add dimension to the dial, at 3 o’clock a 30 minutes register, at 6 o’clock a 12 hours register and finally at 9 o’clock a continuous 60 seconds register. Long sword hands are coated in aged Super-LumiNova luminescence, complemented by a tapered chronograph hand. The signature applied Breitling wings sit at 12 o’clock, the “Navitimer” text is precisely executed.
