BREITLING Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute Artemis II

The Navitimer Cosmonaute was born on May 24, 1962, when astronaut Scott Carpenter orbited Earth three times as part of NASA’s Mercury-Atlas 7 mission. On his wrist was a one-of-a-kind Breitling Navitimer, custom-built for space with a 24-hour dial. Carpenter had known the pilot’s chronograph from his days of flight training and trusted the functionality of its computational slide rule. With that flight, the Cosmonaute became the first Swiss wristwatch in space. The limited-edition Navitimer Cosmonaute Artemis II pays tribute to that historic mission while looking toward the future of space exploration coming off of its namesake mission Artemis II. Produced in just 450 pieces, it houses the hand-wound Breitling Manufacture Caliber B02 and features a galaxy-blue meteorite dial, cut from an extraterrestrial stone. Composed primarily of iron and nickel, the meteorite reveals its natural crisscrossing Widmanstätten pattern when etched, ensuring no two dials are alike. The watch commemorates modern space exploration with the engravings “Artemis II” and “One of 450,” while the mission logo patch appears on the open caseback.
