Navitimer Chronograph (A23322)

The Breitling Navitimer A23322 stands out because it combines a rich aviation heritage with a distinctive slide rule bezel and chronograph function. Its iconic design, reliable chronometer-certified movement, and strong connection to professional pilots make it one of the most respected pilot watches ever made.

The Breitling Navitimer A23322 features a classic and highly recognizable dial with the brand’s signature circular slide rule. The dial offers excellent detail while remaining easy to read. Its stainless steel case measures 41.8mm and gives the watch a strong wrist presence without feeling oversized. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial and provides clear visibility from different angles. The stainless steel bracelet feels solid and comfortable, adding to the watch’s premium appearance and everyday wearability.

Inside the Navitimer A23322 beats the Breitling Caliber 23 automatic chronograph movement, which is based on the reliable ETA/Valjoux 7753. This movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides approximately 42 hours of power reserve. It delivers accurate timekeeping and dependable chronograph performance. Breitling also certifies the movement as a chronometer, which means it meets strict standards for precision and reliability.

The Navitimer line dates back to 1952 when Breitling created it for pilots and aviation professionals. Its slide rule bezel allowed pilots to perform important flight calculations directly on the wrist. Over the decades, the Navitimer became one of the most iconic pilot watches ever produced. The A23322 continues this heritage by combining traditional Navitimer design with modern materials and a dependable automatic chronograph movement, making it a favorite among collectors and aviation enthusiasts alike.
