Breitling has unveiled the Navitimer 1 B01 Chronograph 43 Pan Am Edition, the second timepiece in a new collection dedicated to the airlines that dominated the golden era of commercial aviation.
The new timepiece pays homage to one of America’s greatest airlines, Pan American, and follows the launch of the debut model, which was dedicated to Swissair.
Pan American World Airways was the principal and largest international carrier and unofficial national carrier of the United States from 1927 until its collapse in 1991. Founded in 1927 as a scheduled air mail and passenger service operating between Key West, Florida and Havana, Cuba, the airline is credited for many innovations that shaped the international airline industry, including the widespread use of jet aircraft, jumbo jets, and computerized reservation systems.
The officially licensed new airline-inspired watch is distinguished by one of the most recognizable logos in the history of aviation, which is printed on its transparent sapphire
For decades, Pan American World Airways was a dominant force in commercial aviation and, long after the airline ceased operations, it is still closely linked with the excitement of air travel.
The Pan Am Edition has a stainless-steel case with a blue dial, silver subdials, and a vintage-inspired brown leather strap, a Breitling Air Racer bracelet, or a stainless-steel mesh bracelet.
