Breitling Navitimer 806 Vintage Sports Chronograph

Introduced in 1954, the Navitimer brought a triple-register chronograph to the market that featured enhanced, slide rule capabilities versus its predecessor and contemporary – the two were sold side by side for many years – the Chronomat. The watch was designed for pilots and navigators and must have come as a shock for the time due its size.

The “Navi” comes in at roughly 41mm depending on its bezel configuration and sports wide 22mm lugs. It’s a “big dog” of a watch that likely matched the hotshot fighter jock egos of many of its wearers. Early on, and for a very brief time, the 806’s were equipped with the Valjoux 72, but it moved on to the equally lovely Venus 178. The Navi wears big, but is flat enough to sit under a dress shirt.

Plus, it can be dressed up due to its glossy, nearly flat “creaky” crystal and it’s sparkly bezel. Like most pilots watches and pilots themselves, this watch was not meant to go in the “drink”, so keep it dry!
