In 1952, Breitling created its iconic Navitimer, a chronograph timepiece with a circular slide rule to measure flight time and perform other airborne calculations. The watch was a quick hit and garnered all-round admiration from professionals and seasoned collectors alike. Over the years, Navitimer has been adapted and modified into various forms, and each iteration pays homage to the original offering through subtle nods.

This Navitimer World has a stainless steel case with a 46mm width, so it naturally casts a dominating wrist presence. The complications on the black dial, including the chronograph sub-dials, date aperture, and dual-time zone displayed by the red-tipped central hand are facilitated by the Breitling Calibre 24. It’s a self-winding movement with a beat rate of 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a power reserve of approximately 48 hours.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
