Breitling

The year 1962 was highlighted by a remarkable progress in the space exploration. Breitling, acting as a supplier to civilian and military aviation, became greatly interested in this exciting field. The company’s specialists developed the Cosmonaute watch, inspired by the Navitimer chronograph.

Revealing 24 hours in a single sweep of the dial, the timepiece became a space-devoted interpretation of the Navitimer watch.

The notions of “day” and “night” are very relative when you find yourself in space, therefore, it is vital that the specific configuration of the timepiece keeps its wearer perfectly aware whether it is midday and midnight. On May 24th 1962, the Cosmonaute was tested by astronaut Scott Carpenter in the course of his orbital flight aboard the Aurora 7 capsule.
