An early AOPA 806 doesn't come across your path very often. This piece from 1960 has all the trademarks of a lovely vintage Breitling Navitimer. An important historical piece forever associated with aviation. The first Navitimer, ref. 806, was released in the early 50s and was the second slide-rule chronograph they brought to the market. (after the success of the Chronomat). The name is taken from the words ‘Navigation' and ‘timer'. Pilots were highly respected in the early years of aviation and Breitling looked forward to link this new model to them, they even used the AOPA (Aircraft Owners and Pilots association) logo on their first models. Their marketing strategy paid off and resulted in their becoming the official supplier of on-board measuring instruments for all notable aircraft companies. Over the years this model has been adapted to meet the current demands of the watch market and has been produce in many variations. It is still the watch of choice for pilots from all over the world. Many Air-Forces have even used it as regular equipment for their pilots. Diam. 40 mm
