The Breitling Navitimer 1959 Replica (the official name is Navitimer Ref. 806 1959), limited to 1959. The original intention of Breitling's new Navitimer 1959 replica table is to completely reproduce the antique watch 60 years ago. So the appearance of this Navitimer 1959 replica table is highly consistent with the prototype. The stainless steel case measures 40.9 mm and is 13.43 mm thick. The unique feature of the Breitling Navitimer is the rotating slider bezel. The bezel of the Navitimer 1959 re-enactment table reproduces the prototype table style. There are 94 small beads on the edge of the bezel. The small beads are arranged to form the watch's flying slider bezel, which is unique.
Another feature of the replica Breitling Navitimer is the super-complex numbers on the panel. These numbers can be used with the flight slider to calculate the aviation-related data (I don't know how to understand...). In addition to the numbers, an important feature on the Navitimer 1959 panel is the AOPA Shield Flying Wing logo below the 12 o'clock position, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. Historically, because the Breitling watch is suitable for flying, it has become the official use of AOPA. This symbol will appear on the Breitling table in the 1950s and 1960s. The disk surface of the Navitimer 1959 replica table is also completely consistent with the prototype table. The colors of the AOPA logo and the digital time stamp are all old effects. It is no exaggeration to say that a new Navitimer 1959 replica table and a 1959 prototype table are put together. From the appearance (not counting the old and new products), it is almost impossible to tell which one is the new replica, which one It is a prototype (the new one is sapphire glass).
The biggest change of the Breitling Navitimer 1959 is in the movement. The Breitling Navitimer Ref. 806 1959 prototype, using a manual winding chronograph movement, used the Venus 178 manual chronograph movement (the earlier models also used Valjoux 72). In order to achieve the original effect, the new Navitimer 1959 replica watch changed the Breitling self-produced B01 automatic chronograph movement into a manual winding version, named B09 manual chronograph movement. Except for manual winding, the other parts are still the same configuration of B01. Columnar wheel, vertical clutch, power storage for 70 hours, no change.
