Breitling Old Navitimer 806

Breitling Old Navitimer 806

First launched in 1953, Breitling’s legendary Navitimer comfortably pre-dates other famous chronographs like the Rolex Daytona and Omega Speedmaster. This particular reference, the 806, emerged in the 1960s, shortly before the industry’s big breakthrough in figuring out a way to combine a chronograph with an automatic movement. It was therefore equipped with manual wind movements by either Valjoux or Venus, also used by many rival brands. The dial features the double airplane logo, rather than the more famous winged logo. It’s the same reference worn by jazz musician Miles Davis, as well as one of James Bond’s adversaries in the 1965 film Thunderball. This watch is in very good condition for its age. This Breitling Old Navitimer 806 has a black baton dial and a leather strap. This Breitling has undergone a thorough inspection of accuracy, functionality and condition to determine the level of reconditioning required to meet our strict standards. It has also been referenced against technical documents and manufacturer records where available to ensure authenticity and a clean history.
