Questa particolarissima versione del Navitimer, realizzata in vista delle prime missioni di esplorazione spaziale, ebbe il suo battesimo dell'aria il 24 maggio 1962 al polso dell' astronauta Scott Carpenter, durante il volo orbitale della capsula "Aurora 7". La particolarità di questo modello consiste nell'indicare le 24 ore di un giorno in un solo giro del quadrante, permettendo così di distinguere il giorno dalla notte; distinzione che nello spazio non esiste. Beautifully preserved Breitling Cosmonaute Navitimer series 1980's with stainless steel and 18K gold rotating bezel. Black dial with luminous hands and Arabic Numeral hour markers. Minute Markers, Miles / Km conversion scale. Manual winding movement.Sapphire crystal. The watch is in great condition and only shows tiny marks due to time.Watch has been serviced in 2014, also comes with a leather strap. 
This particular version:Carpenter, one of NASA's original seven astronauts, lifted off on May 24, 1962. Flying aboard Aurora 7, the name he gave to his , Carpenter orbited the planet three times on NASA's first manned mission focused on science.Recognizing that his tasks in space would involve timekeeping, and having been introduced to the Navitimer as a trusted watch used by pilots, Carpenter approached Breitling to produce a modified version of the timepiece for his orbital flight. The astronaut suggested Breitling keep the Navitimer's unique circular slide rule for making flight calculations but replace its tachymeter dial with a 24-hour display.
