2019 Unworn Breitling Navitimer Ref. 806 1959 Re-Edition AB0910371B1X1

Here we have an Unworn and stickered 2019 Breitling Navitimer Ref. 806 1959 Re-Edition AB0910371B1X1 limited No.1076/1959 pieces; Breitling worked closely with watch collector Fred Mandelbaum, who has possibly the largest collection of vintage Breitling in the world. It has a 41mm polished and brushed stainless steel case, bevelled edged lugs with a lug-to-lug length of 48.5mm and a thickness of 13.5mm, ensuring a comfortable fit on your wrist; these dimensions are faithful to the original. Brushed and polished surfaces transition with crisp, defined lines. We have the chronograph piston pushers and a signed crown on the right side. The signature high-domed plexiglas crystal sits above the dynamic black dial; the dial has an outer bi-directional rotating logarithmic slide-rule navigation computer, which makes complex mathematical calculations useful to pilots; you can measure a lot of things such as gasoline consumption, miles per minute, and ground speed, rate of descent/climb, distance in descent/climb and nautical / statute mile conversion. Arabic numeral indices coated in aged Super-LumiNova mark the hours, and three recessed registers add dimension to the dial: at 3 o’clock, a 30-minute register; at 6 o’clock, a 12 hours register; and finally, at 9 o’clock, a continuous 60 seconds register. Long sword hands are coated in aged Super-LumiNova luminescence, complemented by a tapered chronograph hand. The signature applied Breitling wings sit at 12 o’clock, and the “Navitimer” text is precisely executed. On the reverse, a snap-off case back with the number No.1076/1959 is engraved into it. Inside a manually wound Breitling Cal. B09, 47 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour, column wheel chronograph movement with vertical clutch, this COSC-certified calibre is based on the iconic Breitling Caliber 01 and has been specifically developed for these historical re-editions. The watch comes fitted on its original Breitling 22mm vintage style leather strap with a signed buckle and comes with its box and paperwork.

This watch is sold with its original Breitling box and Breitling paperwork. The watch comes paired with its original Breitling 22mm vintage style leather strap with a signed buckle. The watch is from November 2019 and is sold in unworn and stickered condition, as you can see. It comes with our 12-Months NON-Waterproof Warranty.

A truly fantastic release from Breitling that really shows their ability to understand collectors and produce something for the die-hard vintage fans who want all the charm and look of the original 806, but with all the modern reliability that comes with modern Breitling. This is an instant win in my books and one we will look back on and wonder why we didn't snap it up when we had the chance, so take that chance now on this unworn & stickered example today!

Breitling was established in 1884 by Leon Breitling in the Swiss Jura Mountains. In 1915, Gaston Breitling introduced a pusher at 2 o’clock to start, stop and reset the chronograph. Leon later moved the reset to a pusher at 4 o’clock. In 1939, Breitling shipped a huge quantity of chronographs to the Royal Air Force. During the war with Germany surrounding Switzerland, Leon and some friends created a makeshift runway near their factory. Planes would use the car's headlights as a guide to land. Once on the ground, they were quickly loaded, taking off before the Germans knew what was going on. They introduced the “Navitimer,” a navigation computer, in 1952, which was used to calculate a flight plan. In 1969, they collaborated with Heuer, Burne, and Dubois-Depraz on a top-secret project called Project 99. Together, they developed one of the first self-winding chronograph movements. Breitling stands for high precision, outstanding performance, and functionality. During the early days of space exploration, Lt. Commander Scott Carpenter went around the earth three times whilst wearing a modified Navitimer. In 2017, they were sold to CVC Capital Partners, Europe's largest private equity firm.
