Every so often, a vintage Navitimer appears in such exceptional condition that it looks almost new—and this is one of them. Reference 8806 comes from the automatic Navitimer range and is perhaps the most balanced and attractive of the series, retaining the classic 41 mm case size of the manual-wind versions.

The signature Navitimer slide-rule bezel allows wearers to perform calculations on the fly—converting nautical miles, calculating fuel consumption, or simply indulging in a bit of on-wrist mathematical theatre. The 8806 is capable enough for pilots, engineers, or anyone who appreciates a dial so busy it could double as a cockpit instrument panel.
