History

The Concorde completed its maiden flight on March 2, 1969, and entered commercial service in 1976, becoming the only sustained supersonic passenger aircraft in history — cruising at Mach 2.04 powered by four Rolls-Royce/Snecma Olympus 593 turbojet engines. Breitling and Concorde shared a natural partnership rooted in aviation identity; Breitling supplied cockpit chronographs for aircraft, and the Navitimer's slide-rule bezel made it a companion for pilots flying faster than the speed of sound. The relationship was celebrated through limited-edition Navitimer models, each honoring the supersonic icon that last flew in 2003. This tribute, marking 50 years since the Concorde entered commercial service in 1976, channels that legacy directly.
