Breitling Navitimer 806 1959 Reedition
A very faithful re-edition of the 1959 Navitimer. Limited to (surprise!) 1959 units, 40mm, 12.86mm thick, in-house manual wind movement, no date, acrylic crystal, price around $8K.
Kern may have finally hit one out of the ballpark.
Great coverage at Fratello...

I typically hate “busy” watches, but the Navitimer has always been an exception. Great size on this as well. I’d rock it.

Navitimer was my first watch love. Love it.
I won’t buy one, but it looks great.

I like it. I generally prefer the later Navitimers with the contrasting subdials, but this looks good and I particularly like the size.

Great breitling and one of the better reeditions I have seen. Lost me on the price, i would put that towards the original, but if price was lower or on the preowned market may be a winner for me.

Great looking watch, that's one I could own for sure.
Also liking that more and more brands are coming out with movements with longer power reserves.

Agree. For that kind of money I'd try to track down a nice original example.ncstate1201 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2019 5:40 amGreat breitling and one of the better reeditions I have seen.
