Seller insists that Breitling told him it was original to the Navitimer 806. Looks like to me a 22mm NSA bracelet with an Aerospace buckle on it. I've got a few of these bracelets in 20mm but the same design.

Ive seen these before , but on the large 48mm's 1806/1809/816/819 etc
I doubt they were ever intended for the 806 , although they would physically fit

There was a similar bracelet (smaller links) used on some models like the Pult but that spring loaded buckle wasn't available in the 1970's afaik. People have been modifying bracelets for so long it's hard to tell what is an original Breitling product.

Here is a spring loaded one from a 1968 816 (sold in 74 according to papers)

Yes the design looks similar to Aerospace 1st version strap , but it was in titanium and 20mm width so if the buckle is stainless steel it cannot be an Aerospace buckle .
