ideally 22/18, but hard to find, any 22/xx will fit. |

Hi Watchfred. thanks for the quick reply. I was probably going to get a hirsch calf strap.. Thanks for the info about 18mm though. |

To be fully period correct , the right size for a 806 would be 22-16 . 22-18 was the standard size for modern Navitimers until 2006-2007 , and Breitling SA moved to 22-20 which is available now . Personaly I think that a modern Breitling strap on a 806 is as anachronic as xenon headlights on a classic car . |
