New Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaut

24-Hour Display On That Navitimer

Not one, but two Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaut replica watches have just been revealed. First, a watch that is actually over 60 years old and is on public display for the first time: The first Swiss wristwatch ever in space.

This year, Breitling is tapping another key brand milestone around the 1962 Cosmonaute, the 60th Anniversary of another legendary reference that carried two unique distinctions: first, it was recognized in Breitling collector circles as the first Swiss wristwatch in space, and second, its unique 24-hour time display, as specially requested by Carpenter himself.

Breitling High Quality Replica Watch that significant efforts have been made to waterproof the rotating bezel, but because of the way it has to interact with the internal flange ring, waterproofness could have only been achieved through significant gains in thickness – and that was not the way Breitling wanted this pilot’s watch to go.

The Best Replica Watches In The World

So no, neither the Perfect Replica Navitimer, nor the Navitimer Cosmonaut has morphed into a waterproof chronograph – if you want one of those, get a Chronomat, a Superocean Heritage, an Avenger, a Premier, or an Endurance Pro — just about any other Breitling. But if you want one with a rotating slide rule and want it to be called a Navitimer, you’d better be wearing pilot’s suits and not dive suits, and that’s all good.

Thankfully, the new reference PB02301A1B1P1 isn’t just a shot-for-shot re-issue of the Cosmonaute — it’s a decidedly luxe approach to one of the earliest known purpose-built watches for astronauts, one that acknowledges its fans with a hand-wound 24-hour-display movement with a chronograph, a stainless steel case, and a platinum bezel.

The case of the new Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaut Swiss Watches Replicas measures 41mm and is just 13mm-thick – courtesy of the hand-wound-only B02 movement that ditches the self-winding system of the B01 it is based on.

Power reserve and frequency maintain their impressive combination of 70 hours and 4 Hertz, and the column wheel and vertical clutch — all four are cornerstones of a proper modern chronograph movement — are all here, as well.

Lug-to-lug the Navitimer Beautiful Replica Watches measures 47.09mm, making it beautifully wearable and in tune not just with the original, but also with the changing tides of the big-watch trend.

On The Wrist

It’s extra rarity and platinum bezel are both very tempting. On the flipside, the “regular” and also very fresh Breitling Replica has some eye-wateringly beautiful new renditions, is less expensive by a considerable amount— and is probably easier to read than the somewhat cramped and busy 24-hour dial on a 41mm watch.
