Did Breitling ever make this type of navitimer, that is showing navitimer on an aerospace model.
Is this authentic?

Yep. It's OK. The first Aerospace had the Navitimer logo.

I would have bet very high that this was fake....who was the smart one at Breitling to name it "Navitimer", most likely this was corrected shortly after and the line was given a proper name-Aerospace.

The Aerospace was launched in 1985, presumably as a modern day pilot's watch and since Breitling call their pilot's watches Navitimer, that's what they put on the dial.

It wasn't until 1992 that Aerospace replaced Navitimer on the dial.
