Hi all,

Since 2 years I was searching for an early Navitimer 806 with all-black dial.
Initially, I was thinking of a model with a Venus 178 but the Valjoux 72 was still in a corner of my head...
I spent many time searching of internet and especially on this forum to learn as much as possible about early Navitimer.
Recently, I had the opportunity to buy a Navitimer from the end of 1954.
I finally pulled the trigger and it makes me very happy!
I am happy to share some pics with you! :D and thank you for all information shared on this forum.

Thank you.
I know that some of you have studied in details the number of beads on the bezel and made a relation between number of beads and year of production.
I counted mine and I was surprised to find 126.
Has someone ever counted 126 beads?

Cordially,

Nicolas

Nicolas,

As I have already told you in our mail correspondence, this is one of the finest exampleas I have ever seen.
