Breitling Navitimer 816

Breitling Navitimer 816

£2,300.00Price
The Breitling Navitimer is one of the world’s most iconic watches, originally introduced in 1952 as a pilot’s watch. The slide rule enables the wearer to make calculations, such as fuel consumption, with an easy turn of the bezel.
 
In 1968, Breitling released this reference 816, a large 48mm watch with a case produced by EPSA Piquerez, famed for making water-resistant cases at that time.

The black dial is fondly named “Big Eyes” due to its silver subdials, and is brought to life with its striking orange-red chronograph hands. A Twin Jet logo at 12 o’clock sits above the words “BREITLING GENEVE” and “NAVITIMER”
 
Powering the watch is the manual-wind Venus 178, a movement also used in the popular Navitimer 806.

This watch is supplied in a condition consistent with its age, having been worn and enjoyed for many years. The movement has been tested and is running well.
