Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute Scott Carpenter Centenary

On May 24, 1962, astronaut Scott Carpenter orbited Earth three times on NASA’s Mercury-Atlas 7 mission. On his wrist was a one-of-a-kind Breitling Navitimer—custom-built for space. At his request, it featured a wider bezel for gloved hands, a stretch-metal bracelet to fit over his spacesuit, and most crucially, a 24-hour dial. Now, to mark the centenary of Scott Carpenter’s birth, Breitling presents the Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute Scott Carpenter Centenary. Cased in platinum, it’s a tribute to one of the great names in space exploration. The deep blue dial evokes the color of Earth as seen from space—vivid, saturated, and unforgettable—while the crisp white slide rule recalls its swirling cloud cover.
