One step ahead of me
Heh Nilo,
As always you are one step ahead of me. I am desperately looking to make my first entry into Breitling. Missed out on a beautiful 806 AOPA last month, but am still on the prowl. In particular I am looking for a Navi with black dial and black subdials, but I'll not complain if I come across one as wonderful as yours.
Congrats my friend.

Breitling Navitimer 81600 - an interesting watch ...
Team, Weeks back I got a Navitimer 81600. I was looking for this Navitimer model for some time, because I consider it one of the most beautiful "modern" Navitimer (it's from 1986). The Navitimer 81600 was the first Navitimer produced by Breitling after th...
welcome to the club, Nilo; nice one.
excellent condition, I will let you know if I hear about an available crystal, these are not easy to source. Small correction, the Valjoux 7740 came well before the Lemania with the early 1970s ref. 7806, in the Navitimer line it was replaced by the autom...

For a long time. To me, the 81600 is a very important Navitimer because it marks the "reboot" of the line, after the dark ages of the so called "quartz crisis". Thank you for the correction. I go to update my post to reflect that. About the crystal, pleas...
It is cool watch!
One of icons in my opinion and watch that I love and would like to own Great catch Nilo! Congrats! Best regards Damjan
Thank you ...
For me it's an icon. A Navitimer powered by a Moon watch movement. With this one I can dream to go to ... Jupiter. Cheers, Nilo
Magnificent Nilo
A true representation of the brand. Some of Breitling's most iconic work IMO. While it is approacing vintage it is still contempory andlove that it is from a limited group to house the Lemania movt.
I agree. Notice the coincidence ...
Bumped with a friend that was wearing a Navitimer Cosmonaute that uses the basically the same movement. In his case with a little change to display 24 hours. Took time to take a pair shot: Cheers, Nilo ...

About the 806 AOPA ...
Dean, Believe it or not, it seems to be more common here. My problem with the 806 is that I'm not a particular fan of the Venus movement. But as I hear many times: "Just wait and the watch that you want will show up". Cheers, Nilo
