When it comes to luxury chronographs, why do the Rolex Daytona and Omega Speedmaster get all the attention? The Breitling Navitimer predates both, and in many ways has a far more illustrious history of impressive innovations and often overlooked accomplishments.

Why then is the Navitimer so underrated? And what makes it so special? Why am I so fascinated by them and eager to collect them over other iconic chronographs? And with such a profoundly important legacy behind the Navitimer, why is it far better value and more affordable than its rivals from Omega and Rolex?

Today I take an in-depth look at 9 crucial things every watch enthusiast should know about one of my most beloved Swiss chronographs. From being chosen as "the" pilot watch by the AOPA, to its adventures in space, world-changing design, trendsetting features, famous wearers, and even some bizarre moments in the brand's darkest days, this video is essential Gentry viewing for any watch lover out there.
