Breitling’s iconic pilot’s chronograph – for the journey. In 1952, Willy Breitling developed a wrist-worn chronograph with a circular slide rule that would allow pilots to perform all necessary flight calculations. Two years later, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) announced the design as its official timepiece. The “navigation timer” – or Navitimer – was born. The AOPA was (and remains) the largest pilots’ club in the world, counting nearly every US aviator among its ranks. As the defacto pilot’s watch throughout the glory days of civil aviation, the Navitimer was worn by airline captains and aircraft enthusiasts. It even made its way into space on the wrist of astronaut Scott Carpenter in 1962. And it wasn’t only pilots drawn to the watch’s irrepressible aesthetic. Celebrities of the day such as Miles Davis and Serge Gainsbourg were devotees, proving that the Navitimer had style as well as function. There have been many iterations of Breitling’s icon since its debut 70 years ago, but this new Navitimer captures its most classic features, while enhancing them with modern refinements. A flattened slide rule and a domed crystal create the illusion of a sleeker profile. Alternating polished and brushed metal elements give a lustrous, yet understated finish. Most notably, new colors in shades of blue, green and copper, define the updated dial options. And if there is one update sure to spark nostalgia, it’s the return of the AOPA wings to their original position at 12 o’clock. For 70 years, Breitling’s original pilot’s watch has been beloved by aviators and tastemakers in equal measure. Worn by astronauts in space and the biggest stars on earth, it is Breitling’s most iconic timepiece and one of the most recognizable watches of all time.

Testimonials

★★★★★

Not your typical pretentious jewellery store or AD for watches, I walk in often chat with the sales people, look at watches with zero pressure or snobbery. They are open and inviting, all which encouraged me now to purchase from them as well. Can't go wrong.

We went to Golden Tree Jewellers yesterday to pick out a watch for my wife. Simon was very helpful, allowed us to try on many options and never pressured us on any sale. Simon is very knowledgeable and we appreciated his guidance. Thanks again!

Customer service received was excellent. They took the time to answer all of my questions and show me a fair amount of watches before I made my decision. Opted to buy two watches after a fair negotiation and left feeling very happy with my decision to shop at Golden Tree.

My favourite luxury watch retail store in the Lower Mainland. Bob, Aavis and their staff are very knowledgeable, patient and caring for their customers. I visit them multiple times a month when I am in the mall and they engage me regardless of me buying a watch or not. I've bought two watches from them and look forward to buying more. Highly recommend you visit them if you love watches or are curious about what to buy next for yourself or your loved ones.
