Hello everyone, This Breitling Navitimer 806 was purchased in Switzerland by my grandfather back in the '60s, and he gave it to me. I've been looking online at different models during that time period but couldnt find any exact looking models. I'm very confident it's real, but I'm not an expert. What do you guys think? Any help would be greatly appreciated! It has the logo below the 12, and "Swiss Made" on both sides of the bottom dial. There also is the 806 and a 7 digit code engraved on the bottom of the back. (P.S the chronograph hand on the left side did pop out, just haven't had the time to drive to an authorized dealer!) Thanks! |

Broadly correct 1967. Outer sliderule is a replacement and you may be challenged to find an original because they were single year with the red box around the 10. It's obviously had a hard life and I am concerned about the movement as I don't see an arbor for the 9 o'clock subdial which may indicate some damage in there. |
