Breitling Navitimer 806 "Twin Jets": A Vintage Timepiece Ready for Modern Conquest

Prepare to embark on a sartorial journey that spans decades, as we introduce you to the epitome of vintage sophistication and aviation grandeur: The Breitling Navitimer 806 "Twin Jets". This revered timepiece isn't just a watch, but a passport to a golden age of aviation and a symbol of impeccable craftsmanship.

A History Steeped in Aviation Lore

First taking flight in 1952, the Breitling Navitimer swiftly became the official wrist companion of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA). The '806, launched a little later, swiftly became a favored chronograph in the aviation world, accompanying pilots as they navigated through cloud-studded skies. The “Twin Jets” design, featuring the iconic two superimposed aircraft icon, was released during the 1960s and went on to become an icon in its own right. 

A Design That Defies the Sands of Time

The Navitimer 806 "Twin Jets" stands as a living testament to Breitling's commitment to precision and style. Its sleek black dial is a universe unto itself, with luminescent hour markers and silver sub-dials offering a splendid contrast, facilitating readability in all conditions. The stainless steel case, a robust yet elegant cocoon, houses a highly precise Venus 178 movement, promising an unerring guide through time.

As a homage to the golden age of air travel, the slide rule bezel is not just a design element but a functional navigation computer, allowing pilots to calculate crucial flight data. Now, if we're being honest with you, how to use it is a bit over our head but for those of you who want to learn more about it, we'd recommend you check out this fantastic guide.

The Watches

Are all watches authenticated?

All our watches pass through a double authentication process to insure their authenticity. We also provide detailed photos of the watch from all angles to allow you to undertake your own anlysis. Finally as with everything, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to our friendly team

What if something goes wrong with the watch

Whilst all our watches are fully serviced before sale, if something does go wrong, we'll repair it for free as part of our 1 year warranty

Do watches come with original box and papers?

It depends on the individual watch. You can see details under "The Basics" heading on this page. For the majority of vintage watches their original box and papers have been lost to time. Whilst they are nice to have, it’s important to note that “box and papers” DO NOT authenticate a watch despite what many in our trade say. It’s also important to realise alot of sellers (including some of the most well known in the UK) put together full sets of box, papers, hang tags etc by buying blank paperwork and boxes in the secondary market. This is a very regrettable, but unfortunately common occurrence in the trade but something we will never do!

How do I know it will fit?

For metal bracelets we provide the size it will currently fit in the description section of this page. If this measurement is too large or too small we are able to assist in either adding or removing links. We also offer this service, post service on a at-cost basis (i.e. we don't add a margin).

Can you change the strap?

Absolutely! If you don't like the current strap, let us know and we'll change it for free! We maintain a broad selection of styles and can also source straps to your specification free of charge.
