1960s Breitling Navitimer 806 with cream subdials
In the world of pilot chronographs, Breitling has a special place. Among the different models, the Navitimer ref. 806 is the most famous of them, having been produced over several decades.
This example from the mid 60s is quite rare by its outstanding condition and its particularity: its subdials color has aged to a warm cream/gold tone. This happens on few of them and is only seen in a particular era of the production.
