Breitling Navitimer 806 "Twin Jets": A Timeless Blend of Elegance and Aviation An excellent example of the Breitling Navitimer 806 "Twin Jets" in a gold plated/steel case a timepiece that masterfully encapsulates Breitling's penchant for horological finesse and pays homage to aviation's most storied era.
The Navitimer Legacy Taking its roots from 1952, the Navitimer quickly garnered its reputation as the official timepiece of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA). This particular "Twin Jets" rendition of the reference 806, with its fusion of gold and steel, elevates the watch from being not just a tool for aviators but a symbol of refined elegance.
Form Meets Function The bezel isn't just adorned with gold; it carries the golden age of aviation with it. The slide rule bezel allowed pilots to compute essential flight parameters. Not that many of us will use it for this purpose but knowing its original purpose offers an added point of interest.
We're big fans of the Navitimer and it seems we're not alone. If you're looking for a watch that blends practicality, elegance and a storied history, this Navitimer 806 could well be the watch for you!
