Cosmonaute Limited Edition Watch to Celebrate Breitling’s 125th Anniversary

In 1962, when the space exploration was in full swing, the Breitling brand, already known as a supplier to civilian and military aviation, expressed a deep interest in this new exciting human activity. The company’s technicians created the Cosmonaute watch, using the Navitimer chronograph as its base. Revealing 24 hours in a single sweep of the dial, the watch became a space-going interpretation of the instrument mentioned.The notions of “day” and “night” are very relative when it comes to space, therefore, it is important that the specific configuration of this model enables its wearer to avoid the risk of confusion between midday and midnight. On May 24th 1962, the timepiece was tested by astronaut Scott Carpenter in the course of his orbital flight aboard the Aurora 7 capsule.

The newest Chrono-Matic models, measuring 49 mm in diameter, pay homage to the predecessor of oversized timepieces. Issued as a limited series of 2,000 pieces, the first chronograph model is sculptured in steel and equipped with a calendar mechanism. As its name suggests, the Chrono-Matic 1461 watch offers a “memory” of 1.461 days, meaning that the aforementioned mechanism needs to be adjusted once every leap-year.The straight hands, presented on the counters, emphasize the watch panel look and serve to indicate the date, day and month. The optional woven steel Aero Classic bracelet definitely adds a retro feel to the model.
