The Breitling Navitimer Automatic keeps the slide-rule bezel and loses the chronograph, giving that densely graduated dial a little room to breathe. It’s the Navitimer for someone who loves the circular scales and aviation connection but would rather have a straightforward three-hand watch on the wrist.

The earlier A17325 is worth seeking out if you like the beaded bezel: its fine texture gives this version a distinctly different character from Breitling’s more muscular chronographs. At 41mm, there’s still enough dial to make the scales readable without turning the watch into an oversized instrument. The Breitling 17 is a conventional automatic rather than an in-house chronograph movement. Check that the rotating slide rule turns smoothly and its markings remain legible if you intend to use it; with 30m water resistance, this is also one to keep out of the swimming pool.

What owners love

You get the Navitimer’s slide-rule bezel without chronograph subdials competing for space. Owners who prefer this version like being able to enjoy that detailed outer scale while reading the time more easily.
The 41mm case wears relatively slim, and the beaded bezel gives it a distinctive look without the bulk of a larger Navitimer chronograph. It’s a recurring reason owners choose the Automatic for regular wear.

Common Criticisms

The 30m water-resistance rating is a recurring frustration: owners would like a watch they wear this often to be less of a concern around water.
The slide-rule markings are small enough that actually using them takes good eyesight and patience. Removing the chronograph makes the dial cleaner, but it doesn’t make those outer scales easy to read.
