1. The Breitling Navitimer, which has a circular slide rule, for use by aircraft pilots.
2. The E6B Flight Computer, also known as the “whiz wheel”, is a form of circular slide rule used in aviation.
I’m guessing that “the circular slide rule for aircraft navigation” is the connection.

Breitling added a circular slide rule to the bezel of their chronograph models for use by aircraft pilots. This became the famous Navitimer model. During the 1950s and 1960s, a version of the Navitimer was offered by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association with the AOPA logo on the dial.

1>Breitling Navitimer-has a circular slide rule on it
2>circular slide rule
for a pilot a watch with circular slide rule on it helps him a lot for doing things like simple conversions etc so it is called the ‘prayer wheel’

(1) is a Breitling Navitimer, which incorporates a circular slide rule for use in aviation. (2) is an E6B Flight Computer, aka “Whiz Wheel”, which is also a circular slide rule. They are used for flight planning and to calculate ground speed. (Oh thank you Google and Wikipedia!)
