The GMT functionality of this watch is indicated by an additional red arrow-tipped hour hand, which completes a single revolution every 24 hours, moving at half the pace of the regular hour hand. This hand aligns with gold-toned 24-hour hour indicators printed along the dial perimeter, showcasing Arabic numerals for even hours, bold indexes for odd hours, and lighter indexes for half-hour markings.
Facilitating airborne calculations with ease, the bi-directional turning bezel features the iconic "Slide Rule" or "Navigation Computer," allowing users to compute fuel consumption, climbing times, and convert miles into nautical miles or kilometers effortlessly. A date window discreetly positioned at the 3 o'clock position adds practicality to the design.
Powering this exceptional timepiece is the Breitling Caliber 24, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, boasting 25 jewels, and offering a power reserve of 48 hours. Completing the ensemble is a black leather strap with a secure tongue buckle, ensuring both comfort and style for wearers.
Crafted to cater to the needs of pilots and global travelers, the Breitling Navitimer World epitomizes functionality and readability in a refined package. With meticulous attention to detail and a robust construction, it stands as a testament to Breitling's commitment to excellence in horology.
