Matthew's Notes
This is an exceptional example of an early Breitling Navitimer, Ref. 806, with a beaded bezel. The case on this watch is unpolished with strong facets on the lugs. This early version from 1960 has a beaded bezel and AOPA (aircraft owners & pilots association) logo at 12:00 which is a highly desirable characteristic for Navitimer's from this era. This Navitimer is powered by Venus caliber 178 manual wind movement. All the lume on this watch is original and the dial has wonderful vintage feel.
