In Context

At 41 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the plexiglass crystal scratches easily but polishes back out at home, which sapphire does not.

The movement is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you.

806-36 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It carries a stainless steel case.

The Valjoux 7736, a hand-wound chronograph switched by cams rather than a column wheel, fitted to the Navitimer 806-36 from around 1970. Breitling turned to it when Venus movements ran short. It counts hours, minutes and running seconds across three subdials, and stayed in the range until the original Breitling company wound up at the end of the 1970s.
