Breitling is launching a limited-edition Navitimer inspired by the original jumbo jet, the Boeing 747. Introduced in 1969, the 747 revolutionized civil aviation by making long-haul flights more affordable. After 53 years and more than 1,570 planes, the last Boeing 747 rolled off the assembly line on December 6, 2022. Breitling celebrates this aviation icon with the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Boeing 747. The watch features the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) logo at 12 o’clock – reflecting the Navitimer’s roots as a pilot’s chronograph. The cream dial, three black sub-dials and red-and-white inner slide-rule with blue accents echo the color scheme used on the original 747. Limited to 747 pieces, the 43-mm stainless steel watch is available on a black alligator leather strap ($9,400.00) or seven row metal bracelet ($9,800.00). The open case back reveals Breitling’s Manufacture Caliber 01, a movement with a 70 hour power reserve. Each piece is engraved on the case back with One of 747 and the phrase The Original Jumbo Jet.
