Produced in 2003 the watch was made to commemorate 100 years of aviation. On December 17 1903 in North Carolina the Wright Brothers fulfilled one of humankind’s oldest dreams – to fly. The feat lasted barely 12 seconds and covered just 120 feet but it was the ultimate reward for years of perseverance courage and innovation.

A hundred years on and Breitling decided to commemorate this remarkable accomplishment with the release of a truly remarkable watch that being the Montbrillant Navitimer 1903 flyback chronograph.
