Breitling revived its own Unitime world-timer of 1951 in this Breitling Transocean Unitime Pilot, reference AB0510U6, which WatchTime judged light-years ahead of the original.
The movement is Breitling's own and chronometer-certified by the COSC, so it holds an official standard across every zone you cross. The Pilot dial drops the globe of the first version for matt black and white markings in the manner of Breitling's 1930s cockpit instruments.
Worldtempus praised the time-zone system for unprecedented user friendliness. The Unitime name carries weight at auction: a 1950s original sold at Antiquorum in New York in 2010 for USD 7,500, well over estimate. The Transocean line has since been retired in favour of the Premier, so no new example will be made.
Graded Excellent and ready to wear, this is the Breitling for the man who lands in a new city and sets the whole dial from the crown: a discontinued in-house worldtimer with a champion's face behind it.

Step into the world of Breitling — an emblem of precision, aviation heritage and technical mastery since 1884. Luxepolis brings certified pre‑owned Breitling watches to India with trust, exclusivity, and up to 70% off retail. Whether you’re seeking a vintage Navitimer or a rugged Superocean, discover enduring style and expert authentication under one roof.
Founded in 1884 by Léon Breitling in Saint‑Imier, Switzerland, Breitling pioneered the wrist chronograph in 1915 and introduced the dual‑pusher chronograph in 1934. The iconic Navitimer debuted in 1952 with its circular slide rule for pilots. In 1962, astronaut Scott Carpenter wore a Navitimer Cosmonaute—the first Swiss wristwatch in space. Breitling co‑developed the first automatic chronograph movement in 1969 and later launched its in‑house Calibre B01 in 2009. Under CEO Georges Kern since 2017, the brand has balanced bold aviation DNA with modern inclusivity and sustainability. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
