Breitling Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Honors Scott Carpenter Centenary



It's no secret that the Omega speedmaster watch was the first watch in order to land on the moon, however the first Swiss watch to really make it to space was a couple of years earlier: the Breitling Navitimer. Although it's not just any kind of Navitimer, it was a customized watch made at the demand of astronaut Scott Father and specially modified with regard to orbital flight. Known as the actual Navitimer Cosmonaute, it has been the staple in the Navitimer selection for many years. On the occasion associated with Scott Carpenter's 100th birthday celebration, Breitling is honoring their watchmaking legend with the Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute Scott Carpenter Centenary.

Probably the most striking thing about the Cosmonaute is that it's designed especially for space travel. Instead of a 12-hour clock (which indicated time or night based on the place of the sun in the sky), it uses a 24-hour time clock, which allows it to connect time with ground manage without relying on the sun. In the end, in orbit, the day-night cycle takes about 90 moments, and it's easy to lose a record of the date.

Some other changes include a wider board and a more pronounced grasp to allow for use while wearing thicker spacesuit gloves. For comparable reasons, its traditional band is made of a flexible metal materials so that it can be worn over a spacesuit. Since the Astronaut Scott Contractor Centennial Watch is positioned like a ground watch, they changed its super-practical bracelet for any more luxurious blue crocodile leather strap to match the particular blue sunray brushed switch.

Luxury is the name of the video game here, because while the situation looks like it's made of conventional tool watch materials for example stainless steel, it's actually made of platinum eagle. This makes it even more exclusive compared to gold Cosmonaute watch which will be released in 2024. The case steps 41mm in diameter as well as 13mm thick, which makes it an ideal tool watch if us platinum watches can be called tool timepieces.

As I briefly mentioned previously, the dial is a sunray brushed blue with white-colored snailed chronograph subdials. The actual slide rule bezel can also be in the same white. Due to the fact every iteration of the Navitimer (Astronaut or otherwise) in the last four years or so continues to be dominated by black within the display, I really like the light glowing blue and white color system. It's a breath of clean air.

Powering the Cosmonaute Jeff Carpenter Centenary is the Breitling Manufacture B02 caliber. The new manually-wound column-wheel chronograph having a 70-hour power reserve and is COSC-certified. It's beautifully finished, along with radiating Côtes de Genève radiating from the exposed stability wheel. The watch also includes a series of inscriptions commemorating Carpenter's historic flights, such as “Aurora 7” and “3 songs of the Earth. ” Within the edge of the transparent caseback, there is also an inscription devoting the watch to Scott Father and indicating that it is restricted to 50 pieces.

The Breitling Cosmonaute Scott Carpenter Centenary is a watch with its distinctive temperament, platinum case and also high-quality movement. Given the historical connection with Carpenter along with space exploration, the Cosmonaute is probably my favorite Breitling view.
