About Breitling
Instruments for Professionals
Léon Breitling founded the company in 1884 with a focus on chronographs and precision instruments. By the mid-20th century, Breitling was synonymous with aviation — the Navitimer (1952) featured a built-in circular slide rule for flight calculations and became standard equipment for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. The brand equipped aircraft cockpit clocks and was closely tied to the golden age of jet travel. Under Georges Kern's leadership since 2017, Breitling has sharpened its identity around air, land, and sea instrument watches while leaning into vintage-inspired designs. The Navitimer, Superocean, and Chronomat form a coherent trilogy of professional tool watches.
Navitimer with circular slide rule for pilots (1952). Official supplier of cockpit instruments. Emergency watch with built-in distress beacon (1995).
Vintage Navitimer references (especially 806 and early Ref. 8808) are strong auction performers. Modern Breitling offers good entry-level value in the luxury chronograph segment.
