Breitling Cosmonaute Limited Edition

In 1962 Breitling took on the challenge of designing a new watch made for space based on the its Navitimer chronograph – the result was the Cosmonaute. On May 24th 1962, astronaut Scott Carpenter tested the Breitling Cosmonaute during his orbital flight aboard the Aurora 7 capsule, making it the first chronograph in space.

Only 1,000 pieces of the Cosmonaute will be made to commemorate Breitling’s 125th anniversary. One of the prominent features of the Breitling Cosmonaute is its 24-hour dial, the dial indicates the 24 hour day in a single sweep. Why so important? Well, “given the extremely relative nature of day and night in space, this configuration prevents possible confusion between midday and midnight,” says Breitling.

All 1,000 commemorative pieces will be equipped with an original version of the 24-hour dial and fitted exclusively with the rigid perforated Air Racer bracelet.
