A Rich Legacy
Breitling Navitimer Ref. 806 1959 Re-Edition
Back in 1952, Breitling developed the Navitimer, a revolutionary wrist-worn chronograph, featuring an innovative slide rule that enabled them to make all critical flight calculations. At this year’s Baselworld fair, Breitling unveiled the Navitimer Ref. 806 1959 Re-Edition, which celebrates one of the most iconic early designs of the Navitimer, released exactly 60 years ago. This watch is a chronograph that replicates—almost to the smallest detail— the design codes of the original, including an all-black dial with tone-on-tone subdials and a rotating beaded bezel. Limited to only 1959 pieces, this watch will give new Breitling fans and people who have followed the brand for decades a chance to own and enjoy their own exclusive piece of the brand’s legendary past.
