From the mid-1960s
Davis wore his reverse-panda Navitimer on a broad cuff, which is a thing you can only do if you have decided the watch is part of the outfit. The photographs of him playing in it are why a pilot's slide rule reads as style.
On the wrist: Navitimer ref. 806
The exact years are not documented; Breitling dates the watch to the mid-1960s from the photographs.

The watches above are the closest references in the bezelga catalogue, not the pieces that were on the wrist — those are named in each entry. Nothing here implies that Miles Davis endorsed anything, and no photographs of anyone are reproduced: every page on bezelga uses our own drawings of the watches.
