Gear for Australian aviators

BREITLING

NAVITIMER

From $9,975.00

http://www.watchdirect.com.au

Breitling is synonymous with

aviation and the latest iteration

of its flagship Navitimer retains

its “wrist instrument” status

with the circular slide rule

keeping pilots safe when

needing to divert with low fuel

during a total electrics failure

in the cockpit. The face is now

larger, reinforcing the age-old

pilot belief that no aviation

watch is too big. This timeless

piece remains the classic

aviator favourite.

IWC PILOT MARK XVIII

“LE PETIT PRINCE”

From $ $5,079.00

http://www.bodying.com.au

The classic IWC aviator watch is

simple, refined and suits everyday

wear in addition to use in the cockpit.

Like its predecessors the Mark

XVIII’s face is still reminiscent of an

old school altimeter and for the “old

timers” who have worked long and

hard to afford one of these watches,

its minimalist design ensures

legibility no matter what the flying

conditions.
