 A night with John Travolta to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Navitimer

To mark the 60th anniversary of the Navitimer chronograph, Breitling introduced a 500-piece limited edition with an dial in a shade of blue, the Navitimer Blue Sky.

In 1952, Breitling decided to create a new “wrist instrument” specifically designed with aviators in mind. The result was the Navitimer with its famous circular slide rule providing simple and fast handling of all calculations relating to airborne navigation. In an era preceding the advent of electronic calculators, this model was adopted by many pilots for flight preparation and monitoring – whether it came to calculating average speed, distance covered, fuel consumption or rates of ascent and descent.

To celebrate its 60 years in flight, the famous «Navi » is available in a 500-piece steel limited edition with a blue dial, a silver inner bezel and a red central chronograph seconds hand, with the Breitling Caliber 01 inside. The series number is engraved on the case middle at 9 o’clock.

To launch this new model, Breitling had invited Mr John Travolta in Paris. The actor is the ambassador of the brand for 8 years now, and a skilled pilot with more than 3'000 hours of flight on a lot of different aircrafts. This very special night, Mr Travolta, of course, had the Blue Sky on the wrist.
