About this watch

Breitling Navitimer 8806 42mm 1960s This Breitling Navitimer 8806 42mm, dating to the 1960s, is presented in excellent vintage condition. The stainless steel case remains unpolished, with original factory finishing still clearly visible. Edges are well defined and surfaces show minimal wear, consistent with careful use over time and long-term preservation. The dial and hands are in good overall condition, displaying a warm, even patina that has developed naturally with age. Printing remains legible, the slide rule scales are clear, and contrast is preserved across the dial. The hands match the dial well in tone, creating a cohesive and period-correct appearance without distracting corrosion or damage. Overall, this Navitimer presents as an honest and well-kept example from the 1960s. As with all watches of this age, it should be treated as a vintage timepiece and is not recommended for swimming or water exposure, regardless of original specifications.
