Breitling Cosmonaute Chrono-Matic 1809
The Breitling Cosmonaute, together with the iconic Breitling Navitimer, has long been one of Breitling’s most legendary models. In 1958, NASA astronaut Lt. Cmdr. Scott Carpenter approached Breitling with the idea of creating a 24-hour version of the already highly successful Navitimer chronograph.
Breitling brought this vision to life in 1961 and officially registered the name “Cosmonaute” with the Swiss Office of Intellectual Property later that same year.
In 1962, Breitling supplied Scott Carpenter with his very own Cosmonaute for use during NASA’s Mercury program. He famously wore the watch on the historic Mercury-Atlas 7 mission in May 1962, orbiting the Earth three times during a five-hour space flight.
Considering its age, this watch is truly in exceptionally good condition. It is made even more unique by the legendary Heuer Calibre 12 movement. Take a close look at the photos of this stunning timepiece and judge for yourself! Fits wrists up to 19cm.
