Breitling Navitimer 806 AOPA chronograph, 50s Stainless steel round case and beaded rotating bezel, n.897222, round pushers, faceted lugs. Black dial with cream coloured minute track, multi-scale, applied AOPA logo, luminescent arabic numerals. Hand-winding movement, cal.Venus 178. Fabric NATO strap. Size: 40 mm. Accompanied by Breitling warranty and instructions leaflet, and AOPA fabric patch. Notes: Introduced in 1952, the Breitling Navitimer is one of the most iconic chronographs ever produced, and a real tool watch designed for aviators; with its beaded bezel and the multi-scale dial, pilots were able to perform complex in-flight calculations like average speed, fuel consumptions and flight distance. Early examples features the AOPA double wing logo on the dial, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, the largest international independent organization of pilots. The present watch comes with its hardly ever seen original set of accessories, like the Breitling warranty and instructions leaflet, as well as the AOPA fabric patch.
