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.
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.
