Breitling The “Golden Wings” Breitling Navitimer｜Full Set with Box & Papers AB012012 BB02-4101

Since its debut in 1952, the Breitling Navitimer has been a true icon of aviation and precision chronometry. As one of the first wristwatches in the world designed specifically for pilots, the Navitimer combines chronograph functionality with a slide rule bezel, allowing aviators to perform critical calculations such as fuel consumption, flight time, and rate of ascent—all before the age of electronic navigation. In its heyday, it wasn’t just a watch, it was a flight instrument.
Reference AB012012 holds a special place in the Navitimer lineage, as it is equipped with Breitling’s in-house B01 chronograph movement—a major milestone marking the brand’s entry into true manufacture calibers. The B01 boasts a 70-hour power reserve, vertical clutch, and column wheel architecture, ensuring high precision and a smooth pusher feel. It is, of course, COSC-certified for chronometer-level accuracy.
This 43mm classic showcases a black dial with silver subdials, perfectly balancing the technical aesthetics of an aviation tool with a refined, wearable presence for everyday life. The piece on offer today is a 2013 full set, including the original inner and outer boxes, instruction manual, warranty card, and COSC certificate. Exceptionally well-preserved, it represents a modern take on a legendary pilot’s watch—and a must-have for any serious Breitling collector.
