A special gift to the most precious customers during the 125th anniversary of Breitling, the Chronograph in limited series is the first wrist chronograph to enjoy the space experience. The number of watches in the limited edition will be 1000. The grandeur style and the features are not at all diluted. These hold now huge value due to its specialty and antiquity.
1962 is legendary in all sense. By this year the space race had begun and the heat was on the great nation. Breitling, a supplier to aviation for both civilian and military, had come out with the Cosmonaute, an instrument indicating the 24 hours of a day in a single sweep of the dial. It was a space-going version of Navitimer chronograph. This has reduced any confusion between night and day. The great day was on 24th May 1962 when the astronaut Scott Carpenter tested this chronograph under orbital environments during his orbital flight in the Aurora 7 capsule. The Cosmonaute watches Limited Edition come with intriguing finish and with the rigid perforated Air Racer bracelet adding its beauty.
