Offered here is the highly collectible Breitling Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute, reference PB0230, complete with its original box, papers, and accessories. This exceptional timepiece pays tribute to one of the most important milestones in both watchmaking and space exploration history. Produced as a limited edition of only 362 pieces worldwide, the model was created to commemorate the 60th anniversary of astronaut Scott Carpenter’s historic Mercury-Atlas 7 mission on May 24, 1962, during which he wore the original Breitling Cosmonaute—the first Swiss wristwatch ever worn in space. The edition number of 362 was carefully chosen to honor both the year 1962 and the three orbits Carpenter completed around the Earth during his groundbreaking mission.

Faithful to the spirit of the original Cosmonaute, this 41mm chronograph features the iconic Navitimer slide-rule bezel and distinctive 24-hour dial configuration developed specifically for use in space, where distinguishing day from night becomes essential. The watch is powered by Breitling’s in-house B02 manual winding chronograph movement, visible through the sapphire display caseback, and is further elevated by premium details including a platinum bezel and special commemorative engravings celebrating its historic significance.

Combining aviation heritage, space exploration history, and modern Breitling craftsmanship, the Navitimer Cosmonaute PB0230 represents far more than a luxury chronograph, it is a wearable piece of horological history. With its limited production of just 362 examples worldwide and complete set of box and papers, this is an outstanding opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a rare and historically significant Breitling that stands apart from the ordinary.
