Some watches tell time. Others tell stories of altitude, precision, and daring ambition. The Breitling Navitimer 806 belongs firmly in the latter category—an enduring symbol of aviation heritage and mechanical excellence.

This pre-owned Breitling Navitimer 806 is a legendary pilot’s chronograph, originally introduced in 1954 and celebrated for its functional slide rule bezel, designed to assist aviators with in-flight calculations. Housed in a 41mm stainless steel case, this model features a black dial with a highly sought-after transitional configuration—combining a reverse panda layout with a beaded bezel, produced briefly during the mid-1960s evolution of the Navitimer line.

At its heart is a manual-wind chronograph movement, historically associated with the revered Venus 178 architecture, prized by collectors for its reliability and tactile engagement. This is a watch for those who appreciate performance through mechanics—winding, timing, and interacting with a machine built for purpose.

Condition is Fair / Vintage, with more extensive signs of wear consistent with age and use. These marks are not flaws but honest evidence of a tool watch that has lived a life. The piece has been carefully inspected and authentication certified, ensuring originality and peace of mind for the discerning buyer. Please note: box and papers are not included.

For the aspirational professional or aviation enthusiast, the Breitling Navitimer 806 offers a compelling balance of prestige and value. It is less about modern perfection and more about character, history, and technical intrigue. Owning this watch is not simply about status—it’s about wearing a genuine chapter of horological and aviation history on your wrist
