Back to overview In 1952, Breitling presented the Navitimer, a chronograph with a rotating slide rule on the bezel that let pilots navigate right from the wrist. The Ref. 806 is the first Navitimer reference; this example dates from around 1960: a 40mm stainless steel case, black dial with three sub-dials, acrylic crystal and the manual-winding Calibre 178, worn on a leather strap. A true instrument with an unmistakable face and one of the great classics among pilot chronographs.
