It’s worth reiterating the story of the perfect replica Breitling Cosmonaute. In March 1962, Mercury 7 astronaut Scott Carpenter asked Breitling, a revered maker of pilot’s watches, to develop a watch capable of space flight. The requirements were a 24-hour dial display and a more pronounced bezel for operation with gloves. A few days before the triple-orbit Mercury-Atlas 7 flight, luxury fake Breitling delivered the watch to Carpenter for use onboard Aurora 7.
Despite the success of the primary objectives, re-entry was compromised, and Carpenter’s capsule splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean, about 400km adrift from his target. Carpenter struggled to keep himself and the capsule afloat for 55 minutes as rescue services scrambled to locate him. The aaa quality replica Breitling saw irreparable damage due to saltwater ingress beneath the crystal.
With 2024 being Swiss movement replica Breitling’s 140th anniversary, the brand is celebrating stories of air, land, and sea breakthroughs. During the Mercury-Atlas 7 mission, Carpenter’s Breitling Cosmonaute became the first Swiss wristwatch in space. While the timepiece took a beating, cheap super clone Breitling marks this feat for the 140th anniversary with this limited-edition Cosmonaute. The 18K red gold 41mm case immediately differentiates it from its steel and platinum bezel forebear from 2022. The emerald-green dial complements the rich gold tones, offset with black sub-dials featuring concentric grooves.
The standout from this piece is the B12’s gold oscillating weight visible through the sapphire window case back. This is not the first time high quality replica Breitling has employed the 24-hour chronograph B12 in its watches, as seen in the discontinued Breitling Avenger Hurricane. However, Swiss copy Breitling has done well in retaining the relative slimness, with the new auto being only 0.6mm thicker at 13.6mm than the 13mm B02 Cosmonaute.
