Let’s talk about the new 806 Navitimer Reissue.

[mclarendude]

Side by side the original 1959 806.

Reissued to the last detail, same size as the original 806 and everything.

What do you think?

As a pilot myself, this is an icon of the aviation industry, no offense to the GMT Master.

Can’t wait for a rep!

I think its great and an absolute classic brought right up to date. And if they do rep it there won't be any sunken datewheel, though how close they can get to it will be interesting.

 

[mclarendude]

Definitely. It should be rather easy, I think.

This has to be the best release so far from Basel.

It’s not an automatic. I wonder what movement they’d use.

 

[mclarendude]

They’d probably use a Seagull Lemania clone. Much more reliable than an A7750 in my eyes.

Looks amazing! I love the vintage Breitling style. However, if they rep it, they probably won't get a gen watch as a template since only 1959 models will be sold - so the accuracy may won't be the best.

Is there a seagul with these sub configurations? I don’t think they have a 6 sub that works like this.

This is my ultimate watch... @8k it’s a little pricey so I hope they rep this. i think it’s about time someone cloned the old valjoux working chrono. A lot of the vintage chronographs used this layout and the movement could be used for many other vintage builds.

If they don't use the seagull st19 then they could use the basic 7750, no date, no auto winding module. Reduces the thickness right down.

The templates for the 50th anniversary navitimer was repped years ago and that is similar up to the last inner scale. After that it doesn't look too complex?

I want this to be repped! Best thing to come out of Baselworld 2019 Which on the whole was quite underwhelming IMO.

Yes sir! And at a wearable size too!

It’s not an automatic. I wonder what movement they’d use.

Breitling informed they are using the B01 movement without the automatic module, just to keep it thin and to respect the original design.

What a piece of art! When it released?

 

[PlastikMan]

I have been longing for a Navitimer for ages. If this is proper repped they’ll have my money in no time! What a lovely piece to add to a collection!

Should be an easy rep, no sunken datewheel, 7750... Please do this!

 

[naturaqua]

Any news on this one? Love the 806

 

[Dmage]

Would love to have one. I have the BP Old Navi with white dial; looks so great! Having this with black dial’d completely quince my Navitimer thirst!

 

[mnkoshka]

Has anyone heard any news of this ever being repped?
stinging for one of these

 

[Thefakemasterfanclub]

Damn I just made another post on the exact same watch.. would love this one!! No Date!!
