Along with the newly introduced replica Navitimer Automatic 41 and replica Navitimer GMT 41 models, Breitling is launching the Navitimer B12 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute Limited Edition. This automatic timepiece is a tribute to the legendary Cosmonaute model, a 24-hour version of the Navitimer that became the first Swiss wristwatch worn in space.

In 1962, astronaut Scott Carpenter wore the Navitimer Cosmonaute during his Mercury-Atlas 7 mission aboard the Aurora 7 capsule, orbiting the Earth three times.
Carpenter specifically requested this replica Breitling watch, a modification of the famous aviator’s watch, featuring a 24-hour dial to differentiate between day and night in space’s darkness.

To celebrate Breitling’s 140th anniversary, this limited edition of 250 pieces features the self-winding Breitling manufacture caliber B12, in contrast to the hand-wound Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute released in 2022.

Encased in a 41 mm x 13.6 mm 18k red gold case, the watch is water-resistant to 30 meters / 100 feet.
The characteristic bidirectional notched bezel with a circular slide rule surrounds a deep green dial with black sub-dials and gold numerals. The cambered sapphire crystal is anti-reflective on both sides.
