The Breitling Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute Scott Carpenter Centenary commemorates the 100th anniversary of the astronaut's birth on May 1, 1925. The deep blue dial echoes the colors of Earth from space—vivid, rich, and unforgettable; while the crisp white slide rule evokes swirling clouds. The matching alligator leather strap continues the harmonious blue theme and features a white gold folding clasp. Limited to only 50 pieces, this timepiece is the ultimate tribute to Carpenter and his historic Mercury-Atlas 7 mission.

The movement is COSC certified and boasts a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. The beauty of the movement's rhythm can be admired through the sapphire crystal case back. The movement bridges are specially engraved with inscriptions commemorating Carpenter, including "Carpenter," "Aurora 7" (referring to Carpenter's cockpit Aurora 7), "3 orbits around the Earth," and "Mercury 7." Furthermore, the case back is engraved with "First Swiss wristwatch in space," "One of 50," and "Scott Carpenter Centenary 1925-2025."

The dial features the winged emblem of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) at 12 o'clock, highlighting the Navitimer's important historical position as the official timepiece of the world's largest pilots' club since its inception in 1952. The watch features three subdials: a small seconds subdial, a minute chronograph subdial, and an hour subdial. A practical date display window is located at 6 o'clock. Mushroom-shaped pushers ensure smooth chronograph operation, while a bright red chronograph seconds hand ensures optimal legibility.

The Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute Scott Carpenter Centenary is powered by Breitling's in-house B02 movement, a manual-winding chronograph with a 24-hour display. This manual-winding movement is not only a tribute to the original watch but also ensures reliable operation in environments where automatic movements may be unstable. While this may not be necessary for most people, it undoubtedly provides peace of mind when you are truly in a weightless environment.
