"There\r\nare a lot of words to describe this wristwatch, but the best one to sum it all\r\nup would probably be \"WOW\".It all started when Breitling &amp; AOPA decided to develop a revolutionary watch with a built-in chronograph and navigation computer (sliderule).  Breitling Switzerland has indicated production began in 1952, but it's my strong belief that the first Navitimers became available in 1954. AOPA (Aircraft Owners &amp; Pilots Association) immediately decided to make it their official watch, and in that way the first Navitimer was born with AOPA's beautiful official wing logo displayed on its dial. Per my understanding this is the rarest between the two jet since the AOPA was purchased by the members.The Breitling Reference 806 Navitimer\r\nis easily the most iconic model the brand ever produced and remains near the\r\ntop of virtually every vintage watch collector's wish list.  Initially\r\ndeveloped in the early 1950s, the Navitimer was designed from the ground up to\r\nbe a function-first tool watch, offering a slide-rule navigation computer\r\nfunction operated by an internally-rotatable bezel.  This incredible\r\nfeature allows pilots to perform essential calculations on their wrist, long\r\nbefore mobile electronics were available.  While the true functionality of\r\nthe Navitimer is lost on most of us, there is no question that serious pilots\r\n(and astronauts) depended on their Navitimers as serious navigation tool. \r\nIt has been said that the 806 created a new category in historical horology of wristwatch\r\nor wrist instruments.When\r\nBreitling designed the Navitimer in the early 1950s, the concept of a civilian\r\ntool watch was a novel idea. Watch companies produced a few purpose-designed\r\npieces for military use in the early 20th century, but most watches that were\r\nsold at retailers were designed with purely fashion in mind. In the 1950s and\r\n1960s, the tool watch market exploded, fueled by the popularity of SCUBA diving\r\nand the growing interest in aviation.  Breitling was one of the earliest\r\nmanufactures to respond to the trend when they released the Navitimer in 1954.Most\r\npassers-by would refer to the Navitimer as a watch, but that’s not quite\r\nright. This is a wrist-worn navigational computer. The Navitimer’s most\r\ndistinctive feature, the slide rule bezel, is used by pilots to calculate\r\nairspeed, ascent and decent rates, flight time, distance traveled, fuel\r\nconsumption and even imperial to metric unit conversions. The Navitimer truly\r\nis a computer, and also happens to be one of the best damn looking watches out\r\nthere. In the\r\nmovie Thunderball\r\n(1965), two Breitling watches are prominently used. The first Breitling in the\r\nfilm is a Breitling Navitimer, reference 806, which changes hands several times\r\nin the film.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nOur Navitimer dates from approximately\r\n1966.  Featuring\r\nall-original dial printing. This particular model also\r\nfeatures the Two Jet logo on the dial, very clean watch.This is a beauty and a very rare Breitling Navitimer 806 with Two Jet dial\r\nCirca 1966.
