Do you use this option in your Breitling

Hi All,
I’m just want to ask you if you use this hidden calculator on your Navitimers? Is it useful in your everyday life? Did you even use one time since you bought Breitling? For me it’s very interesting thing but it’s very hard to read any numbers on the dial. I’m waiting for your experience.

I am not a pilot so therefore I have never used it for its intended purpose, but I have used it to calculate the gratuity at a restaurant!

Love it! I don't have a Breitling in my collection with a slide rule, but the heritage of this function is rather appealing. I would totally use it to manually do calculations as was done back in the day.

I use mine regularly. When I lived overseas, I generally had it set to the currency conversion rate, so a quick glance would calculate it for me. Once you get used to it, you can find all sorts of everyday calculations to do.

I've used mine for quick multiplication to calculate prices after percentage discounts.
