A very Rare example of a vintage Navitimer with Gold Applied AOPA logo.
This transitional model was only produced for circa one year in 1963 and is the first time we see the now iconic Reverse Panda dial on an 806 Navitimer whilst still retaining the raised Gold wings logo and beaded bezel from the earlier All Black models.

This is a particularly rare early Navitimer viewed by ourselves and others in the vintage Breitling community as the ultimate vintage Navitimer (Save maybe a Valjoux)
Yes, there are a few other models from this era that are technically rarer but the 1963 806 draws on all the best features of Navitimers seen through the 1950’s and 60s.
Aesthetically the Gold Applied wings logo, Beaded bezel and Reverse Panda dial combined with such a low production run makes it difficult to beat.
