Breitling remembers the 100th anniversary on the birth of the American room pioneer with a 50-piece minimal edition Navitimer Cosmonaute, the 1st Swiss watch to go directly into space.

On, may 24, 1962, Scott Carpenter, a member of NASA’s Mercury-Atlas 7 mission, orbited the entire world three times, becoming the second Us to accomplish this feat. On his arm was a one-of-a-kind Navitimer view that Breitling had custom-made for space.

Its chronograph and well-known slide rule made it variety tool in the cockpit. Yet space required different equipment. Before his mission, Carpenter wrote to Breitling in addition to asked for a custom Navitimer with some special modifications: some sort of wider bezel to make it easier to embellish with gloves, a flexible steel bracelet to fit his place suit, and most famously, a new 24-hour dial. In an orbit where the sun rises as well as sets every 90 mins, this 24-hour display would certainly help him keep up currently with what was happening on a lawn. replica Breitling Avenger Hurricane watches
