First time in 140 years: Navitimer 41 and Cosmonaute B12
Breitling high quality copy watches has launched a series of products to commemorate its aviation and space icons: the Navitimer GMT and Automatic 41, as well as the limited-edition automatic Cosmonaute.
As Breitling celebrates its 140th anniversary, sports superstars Erling Haaland and Giannis Antetokounmpo headline the Navitimer campaign.
On the occasion of its 140th anniversary, Breitling is marking the occasion with a host of incredible firsts, from breakthroughs in timekeeping in the air, on land and at sea, to milestones in sustainability. This month, the brand honors two of its icons. The Navitimer was the first pilot's watch to combine a chronograph and a slide rule. The Cosmonaute, Navitimer's 24-hour watch, became the first Swiss watch to go into space. Breitling has just launched new versions of these series: the Navitimer GMT and Automatic 41, as well as the new automatic Cosmonaute.
“This year, we are talking about our 140th anniversary for the first time,” said Breitling CEO Georges Kern. “When it comes to these two luxury replica watches – the Navitimer and the Cosmonaute – you cannot overstate their importance to our brand, aviation and the watchmaking industry as a whole.”
Back to Basics: The Multifunctional Navitimer GMT and Automatic Watch 41 Breitling played a key role in the rise of commercial aviation. Its onboard timer became standard equipment, first on propeller aircraft and later on jets produced by the world's leading aircraft manufacturers. In 1952, the Breitling Navitimer design was launched and was immediately welcomed by pilots in the emerging civil aviation field at the time.
The Navitimer is equipped with a circular slide rule that allows pilots to make key calculations such as rate of climb and fuel burn. During the glory days of commercial air travel, the Navitimer was the first wrist-worn in-flight computer and would eventually make Breitling the “Official Supplier of World Aviation.”
As the civil aviation industry developed, the reputation of aviation chronograph watches also expanded, attracting not only pilots, but also such figures as Miles Davis and Serge Gainsbourg. A trendsetter who became a beloved icon in aviation and pop culture. replica bugatti watch
Breitling begins redesigning the Navitimer collection in 2022, starting with the original chronograph. Today, it continues this update with two new minimalist models: the GMT watch and the three-hand automatic watch, both in a wearable 41mm size.
These pieces inherit the Navitimer's signature look, omitting the chronograph but retaining a balanced dial composition. The central positioning of the 24-hour scale on the GMT and the clean surface of the automatic watch ensure that the complex slide rule stands out while simplifying the overall aesthetic.
Breitling has further refined the collection with a notched bezel for a contemporary feel, and alternating polished and brushed finishes that add a dynamic glow. The alligator leather strap and bracelet with seamless butterfly clasp provide comfort and convenience.
Dials include black, blue, silver, icy blue and green dials in stainless steel or 18K red gold, as well as two-tone versions for automatic watches. The all-gold version comes with an Origins label, Indicates that gold has been mined responsibly and in compliance with the environmental and social standards of the Swiss Quality Gold Association. replica Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 Watch
The redesign of the Navitimer blends classic and modern, tailor-made for enthusiasts and fashionistas, and reflects Breitling's commitment to heritage and innovation in every timepiece.
Down-to-earth elegance: automatic Cosmonaute B12 In 1962, Mercury 7 astronaut Scott Carpenter made a unique request to Breitling: to modify the design of the aviation chronograph watch to adapt to space exploration. Admiring its computational power, Carpenter requested a 24-hour dial to distinguish day and night in orbit. Breitling rose to the challenge, and a custom-made Navitimer (later known as the Cosmonaute) accompanied Carpenter on his mission on May 24, 1962, becoming the first Swiss watch in space.
To commemorate Breitling's 140th anniversary, Breitling launches a limited edition 24-hour watch. However, the main modification this time is not for zero gravity, but for everyday life: automatic winding Chronograph movement, Caliber B12 made by Breitling.
The new model is limited to 250 pieces and is available exclusively through Breitling online and in-store boutiques. It features an 18K red gold case that matches a dark green dial, gold numerals, and a black alligator leather strap. replica Franck Muller Watch
Turning the watch over reveals an open view of the case back, revealing the contrasting rotor on the B12 movement. The in-house movement provides approximately 70 hours of power and comes with a 5-year warranty. An engraving on the case back notes the "One of 250" limited edition and reveals the watch's incredible story: "First Swiss watch in space/Navitimer Cosmonaute May 24, 1962."
Inspired by astronauts and adapted to life on Earth, the new Cosmonaute limited edition watch combines legendary tradition with modern comfort.
