Navitimer 1806 CHRONO-MATIC. The Serial Number on case back 1253949 date to 68-69. Movement is cal. 11.2 with blacke date and a metallframe arround the date-window. Bezel hour and minute hand renewed probably.


@Herbert, The bezel IS a replacement for sure. Your first pic is not the dial, we're talking about. The frame around the date window is not silver painted, it's a polished metalframe, like shown here:

Finally picked up the watch this morning and was able to snap a few crumby pictures. There's no "-" in chronomatic, and the serial on the back of the case is 125XXXX. The cal 12 movement is definitely a replacement. There's a marking on the inside of the case that say "91 New Movement." I love how the dial looks, however I've purchased some original replacement hands. I'll probably have it serviced as well.


Derek, this is the first known Version of the 1806 dial, maybe the real "pre-series". The dials had no "-" in CHRONOMATIC and also a metalframe around the date-window. Hands are correct for this dial, serial is also correct. All you need is a cal11 to make it authentic again - should be no big problem ;-)

Ralph


I would still consider it authentic even with the Cal12. Maybe original would be a better word. Nice looking piece. I'd leave it alone and enjoy it.


It has not left my wrist since I picked it up. I'll probably leave the cal. 12, but what do you think the chances are of finding a cal.11? Maybe trading for one?

You may buy a 1806 with a cal 11 and swap the movements. If you're lucky, you can sell the watch with cal 12 for the same money...

Good luck, Ralph

Perhaps? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Breitling-Navit ... SwqYBWoJAd

Is that even a decent price?

Too expensive. If you have time you can buy a good 1806/11 for around 1400-2000$ from private.

Thought this looked familiar. Patina on dial pretty unique.
