cauny prima breitling

To a Bentley aficionado, his wrist watch is much more than an accessory for a wrist. It is actually an extension of his personality��. a way to show the world another facet of himself. Subsequent to the magnificent sensation Flying B, Breitling is enriching the Breitling for Bentley collection with a chronograph version of this stylish timepiece. This new model features the same daring rectangular case with its inimitably opulent lines, enhanced by two smoothly integrated lever pushpieces. The dial has been completely revamped in harmony with the spirit of luxury and refinement characteristic of all the creations dedicated to the prestigious British automobile manufacturer: hour-markers sculpted from mother of pearl; hollowed counters; colors inspired by the Bentley livery; and a knurled central motif matching the steel, red gold or white gold case.

1962. The space race was well under way. Already a supplier to civilian and military aviation, Breitling naturally took a keen interest in this new human adventure. Based on the Navitimer chronograph, the brand's technicians developed the Cosmonaute, a space-going version of this instrument indicating the daily 24 hours in a single sweep of the dial. Given the extremely relative nature of day and night in space, this configuration prevents possible confusion between midday and midnight. On May 24th 1962, the astronaut Scott Carpenter tested this instrument under real-life conditions during his orbital flight aboard the Aurora 7 capsule.For its 125th anniversary, Breitling has chosen to issue a limited series of the model that became the first wrist chronograph to experience space travel. Only 1,000 of these Cosmonaute watches will be produced, all equipped for the occasion with an original version of the intriguing 24-hour dial. Further accentuating its distinctive character and in tribute to a modern design icon from the 1960s, the Cosmonaute Limited Edition is fitted exclusively with the rigid perforated Air Racer bracelet.
