Breitling Marks Scott Carpenter’s Centenary With Platinum Navitimer Cosmonaute

Press release: To celebrate 100 years since the birth of the American spaceflight pioneer, Breitling unveils the 50-piece limited-edition Navitimer Cosmonaute – the first Swiss wristwatch in space. On May 24, 1962, Scott Carpenter orbited the Earth three times as part of NASA’s Mercury-Atlas 7 mission – becoming only the second American to do so. On his wrist: a one-of-a-kind Navitimer, custom-built by Breitling for space.
