Following on the heels of the developments in automatic chronographs in the late 1960s, it released the Chrono-Matic Reference 1806, powered by its Calibre 12 movement. Because this caliber was based upon the Buren 1282 micro-rotor movement and was not designed as an integrated chronograph mechanism, the crown needed to be placed at 9:00. This design proved expensive, and did not survive the Quartz Crisis.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis particular Navitimer, a Reference 1806, is housed in a whopping 47mm stainless steel case with a rotating slide rule navigational bezel with fluorescent markings, barrel pushers, a signed crown, and crisp visible caseback engravings. It features a matte black dial with multiple timing scales, a dual-register chronograph display, a date window at 6:00, Tritium indices, and a matching handset. Powered by the Calibre 12 movement, it comes fitted to a period-correct black Tropic® rubber strap with a steel pin buckle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking closer, you'll notice a set of wings on the dial that do not belong to Breitling. Bentley then - you must be thinking. Wrong again! In fact, the logo belongs to Morgan - the small English car manufacturer - known for their commitment to vintage design language and 3-wheeled cars. Breitling produced a small number of these pieces exclusively for the Morgan Drivers Club in Europe. This outstanding time-capsule example is one of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhether you’re navigating your Cessna, you simply want an extremely cool vintage watch to wear around town, or are desperate for a timepiece to accompany you in your Morgan, this Navitimer Chronomatic from the era of early automatic chronographs is a strong choice!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Breitling","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40029700292695,"sku":"40940060","price":5250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/AS07923_40940060_BREITLING_MADEFORMORGANDRIVERS_1806-6.jpg?v=1668111726","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/breitling-navitimer-exclusiv-for-morgan-drivers-chronograph-as07923","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
