The demand for vintage Breitling watches is increasing constantly. However, for vintage lovers, the original is always more interesting than the re-edition. Inspired by the vintage models of the 50s and 60s, the Navitimer is still being manufactured and its popularity is enormous. All functions have been checked and run flawlessly. The driving force of the Navitimer is the movement Venus 178, which was considered very innovative in the 1950s. The winding crown shows the Breitling logo. The stainless-steel case has retained its original, thick profile and is in a collector's desired condition with little signs of wear, but unpolished. At 12 o'clock, the AOPA (Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association) emblem (the typical double-wing logo) is attached. The luminous material in the numbers is beautifully aged to an absolutely evenly distributed patina.

The inscription NAVITIMER at 6 o'clock is completely intact, which is a rarity with the 1950s Navitimer. The dial has been preserved in excellent condition. The dial and the sub dials are black and therefore this model is called 'All-Black'. That makes this watch even more rare and special. Furthermore, the movement is signed with the correct import code 'UZO'. The company name is engraved on the movement bridge as well as on the inside of the case back cover. The watch is double signed with the US importer Crossroads Watch Co. This particular Breitling Navitimer 806 was originally made for the US market. They could calculate kilometers, miles and nautical miles from the slide rule bezel. Introduced in 1952 the Navitimer was a useful tool for pilots. The Reference 806 was the first version with a black dial and is now in great demand among vintage collectors. The Breitling Navitimer is the most legendary pilot's watch. Here we offer you a vintage Breitling Navitimer 806.
