The Breitling Navitimer was launched in the early 1950s with only one customer in mind: pilots, hence the collaboration with the AOPA (Aircraft Owners & Pilots Association), which distributed most of the Breitling Replica early examples to its members. It was a truly innovative watch (although Breitling had already fitted a slide rule to its Chronomat some 10 years before) since it allowed a pilot to execute multiple calculations. The Breitling Replica Watches first configuration offered an all-black dial, and featured the AOPA emblem on the dial, although both went away in later models, as we can see here.
The “Twin Jet” above Cheap Breitling Replica indicates that this reference 806 was produced after 1964, which is confirmed by its serial number and the original papers dating it exactly to 1967. It also comes with a Breitling box, said to be the original one, amounting then to a true full set. In addition, the tritium lume on the handset and painted indexes has taken on a nice patina, while the sub-registers do not show excessive aging marks even after 50 years.
