historical details
period of production: 1972-1974

With the discontinuation of the new Venus cal. 178, comes a hand-wound successor to the classic Navitimer 806 - mounted in the same classic 40/41 mm case with notched bezel. The movement is a newly launched Valjoux cal. R7740, based on the modular design of the cal. 11/12 Chrono-Matic, which uses the same Dubois Depraz chronometer module.

Navitimer ref. 7806 has "Big Eyes" hour and minute counters and "running seconds" at 12 o'clock; for the first time a date display is integrated at 4:30.

the dials feature red accents both on the dials themselves and on the slide rule, with either "Twin Jet" logos for the Navitimers distributed by Breitling or signed aopa wings stamped in white silver. The hands declined in two versions, with the slim tapered baton luminized of the venerable 806 later replaced by the broad baton luminized hands of the Navitimer "Big Case"; a unique element of this reference is a broader painted sub-dial hand for the seconds running at 6 o'clock.

Caliber: Valjoux manual caliber R7740
Case: tapered lugs, approx. 40 mm in diameter
Bezel: notched bezel with pointed notches, approx. 41 mm diameter
Dial: black with "Big Eye" white silver subdials, red accents on dial and slide rule
Mk1 hands: tapered and lumed baton hands, arrowhead chronometric sweep
Mk2 hands: wide baton lumed, red chronometric sweep, rabbit ear sub-dial hands
(some transitional versions with arrowhead chronometric sweep of Mk1)

1970 breitling navitimer 7806.
The first Breitling Navitimer 7806 with date display was launched in the early 1970s. For many enthusiasts this marked the end of the real Navitimer, hand-wound cal. Valjoux7740.

A Breitling Navitimer 7806 remains at the top of virtually every vintage watch collector's wish list.
The inner rotating bezel of the Breitling Navitimer 7806 is a navigation computer with slide rule that performs complex mathematical calculations useful to pilots.

Jerry Seinfeld, Graham Hill, Jim Clark, Miles Davis all wear (or wore) a vintage Breitling Navitimer with a black and white dial.

The Breitling Navitimer Chosen as the official watch by the aopa, Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. Something Breitling has been banking on ever since.

In the early 1960s a 24-hour dial version was also produced, the Cosmonaute .

The first generation Navitimer arrived in the early 1950s, had Arabic numerals, black dials and subdials.

The second generation features silver sub-dials and indexes instead of numbers.

Many of the early Navitimers did not have the Breitling logo but the aopa wing on the dial.

Some rare dials show aopa wings and the letter b instead of the Breitling logo.

Breitling has been a leading innovator in the field of high-quality chronometers and chronographs and has helped define the look and function of chronographs to this day.
