Breitling Navitimer Ref. 806 replica 1959

I can hardly find a watch enthusiast who has not been attracted to this Breitling Navitimer Ref. 806 1959 Re-Edition watch, limited edition, faithful to the original. The ironic Breitling Navitimer was in 1952 with Ref. 806 came out in 1959. Exactly the same, this revision also features a 41mm wide steel case with a non-AOPA (Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association) wings logo on the dial. The interior has been modernized, and the internal Breitling B09 movement powers this version.Harry Winston replica watches

The faithful vintage Navitimer appearance, combined with the practical convenience of modern movements and the technology of case making, forms a very attractive package. That said, this is not a cheap $ 8,600, but anyway (if they haven't already), the 1959 limited edition watch will be available soon. Although I wouldn't worry about missing it, as discussing the new internal manual-winding B09 movement, a Breitling representative said that it would "power many historical versions of manual winding in the future."

This watch is another factor in figuring out how Georges Kern's Breitling era is shaping. In less than a year, we saw Navitimer 8 opening a whole new path for the series, and works like this re-edition firmly set the flag of pride in heritage-just like how the Superocean Heritage series interacted Coexistence, in fact, added, Superocean automatically collects. Kern believes that instead of having to choose between inheriting tradition and creating new products, he is bringing Breitling to the best of times.Urwerk UR-103T Red Gold

Ref. The case is housed in a 41 mm wide, 12.86 mm thick stainless steel case. 806 In 1959, the re-edition faithfully insisted that some other brands might try to "upgrade", and ruined the product they missed. Fortunately, Breitling has been staring at the ball and kept the snap-in steel back cover instead of being caught in the temptation of the exhibition back cover. Interestingly, they also chose to use vintage dome plexiglass instead of sapphire (basically used for all modern luxury watches).

With three small chronograph dials, a slider fixed dial ring, and a slider removable dial operated by a two-way bezel, all of which fill the dial with information. When people vaguely criticize dials for not following strict minimalism, many people use the word "busy" in a negative way, but I think that watches that use design economy to clearly convey as much information as possible, such as Navitimer is indeed commendable. design.

In fact, a few years ago, a collector uploaded a portion of the original Breitling Navitimer 806 manual, which is the same as the reprint (replica swiss watches). You can browse the manual below, but it is very clever to be able to calculate multiplication, division, ground speed, miles per minute, gasoline consumption, descent / climb rate, descent / climb distance, and conversion of nautical miles and legal miles.

Being able to do all of this within the parameters of a 41mm wide case is often considered an inherent feature of Navitimer, but in this modern version it is impressive.

As with the original version, there are 94 beads scattered around the bezel in the new version. Throughout the long history of Breitling Aviation chronograph watches, these beads have become the aesthetic theme of the watch, although the number of beads varies from about 94 to 125. Obviously, these beads were added to help the pilot hold the movement firmly. Bezel.

Interestingly, Breitling refers to several differences between this version and the original version as "modernity concessions." I'm glad they made these concessions because they were limited to three very useful things: the water resistance was increased to 30M; fortunately, Super-LumiNova was not added to the hand, which is not in line with the true old-school aesthetics. Finally, a new movement.

Old Navitimer Ref. I believe that the 806 watch used the manually wound Venus 178 chronograph movement and was replaced by Valjoux 7740 around 1969. This version is equipped with a new internal manual winding movement, Breitling-made movement B09, which is based on the automatic winding movement B01. The B09 runs at 28,800 vph and has a powerful power reserve of 70 hours. I'm glad to see that Breitling's future replica will be equipped with this manually wound movement.www.chrono36.com
