"There  are a lot of words to describe this wristwatch, but the best one to sum it all  up would probably be &quot;WOW&quot;.It all started when Breitling &amp;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&#39;s my strong belief that the first Navitimers became available in 1954. AOPA (Aircraft Owners &amp;amp; Pilots Association) immediately decided to make it their official watch, and in that way the first Navitimer was born with AOPA&#39;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  is easily the most iconic model the brand ever produced and remains near the  top of virtually every vintage watch collector&#39;s wish list.  Initially  developed in the early 1950s, the Navitimer was designed from the ground up to  be a function-first tool watch, offering a slide-rule navigation computer  function operated by an internally-rotatable bezel.  This incredible  feature allows pilots to perform essential calculations on their wrist, long  before mobile electronics were available.  While the true functionality of  the Navitimer is lost on most of us, there is no question that serious pilots  (and astronauts) depended on their Navitimers as serious navigation tool.   It has been said that the 806 created a new category in historical horology of wristwatch  or wrist instruments.When  Breitling designed the Navitimer in the early 1950s, the concept of a civilian  tool watch was a novel idea. Watch companies produced a few purpose-designed  pieces for military use in the early 20th century, but most watches that were  sold at retailers were designed with purely fashion in mind. In the 1950s and  1960s, the tool watch market exploded, fueled by the popularity of SCUBA diving  and the growing interest in aviation.  Breitling was one of the earliest  manufactures to respond to the trend when they released the Navitimer in 1954.Most  passers-by would refer to the Navitimer as a watch, but that’s not quite  right. This is a wrist-worn navigational computer. The Navitimer’s most  distinctive feature, the slide rule bezel, is used by pilots to calculate  airspeed, ascent and decent rates, flight time, distance traveled, fuel  consumption and even imperial to metric unit conversions. The Navitimer truly  is a computer, and also happens to be one of the best damn looking watches out  there. In the  movie Thunderball  (1965), two Breitling watches are prominently used. The first Breitling in the  film is a Breitling Navitimer, reference 806, which changes hands several times  in the film.                        Our Navitimer dates from approximately  1966.  Featuring  all-original dial printing. This particular model also  features 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  Circa 1966.
