Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute Handbook Wind Lemania Review
Hand wind breitling cosmonaute Navitimer Ref. A12322 is one of the coolest Breitling Navitimers out there. This is the last of the manual hand-wound Cosmonautes series with the B12 movement, and the 24-hour dial, which is hard to read and mentally handle, is awesome. I always wanted one of them for so long. When a friend decided to sell him, I seized the opportunity to join the herd.
This is a classic black dial with a white small dial and a three-in-one layout. It was also mounted on a dark brown Breitling strap, but it was very worn, so I bought a BOB strap and put on a tan/saddle brown. The B12 Calibre movement has no date, but in addition to the 24-hour dial, there is a chronograph complex. In the days when I wanted a super complicated dial, this watch met all requirements in every respect!
Like most modern Navitimers, sapphire crystals are dome-shaped and AR-coated with a blue hue. The chronograph dial is located at 9 o'clock (based on a 12-hour dial, of course not a 24-plat dial!), a chronograph at 3 o'clock and a chronograph at 6 o'clock. The pusher works normally, the top start/stop and the bottom reset.
The chassis measures the original standard Navitimer 41.5mm, the same diameter as the Old Navitimer and other original models. New models like the Navitimer 01 use a larger 43 mm case. The lug has a width of 22 mm and, like most Navitimers, has a thickness of 14.25 mm - thinner than most Navis because the hand-wound B12 movement has no rotor. The bottom cover is a classic Breitling Navitimer style with COSC engraving. The characteristic hand-wound COSC movement B12 is a previously discontinued, and is quite rare to be configured here. Most of the swiss replica watches found in the secondary market are pre-COSC.
This is a unique and collectible Breitling, unlikely to be released again, especially the Breitling Cosmonaute in the 43mm version with a manual internal B02 movement released several times.

One of the 50th Anniversary Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute history books
Movies and TV scenes in the 60s - Crazy men, Pan American Airlines, the entire universe... are crazy... This list continues. While the screen is revisiting the fashion of the 1960s, watchmakers are revisiting the achievements of the time, especially space exploration. The 50th anniversary of the birth of Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute replica watch for sale celebrates the first time that the Breitling Navitimer entered space.
On May 24, 1962, Breitlin and the lieutenant commander Scott Carpenter joined the expedition to join the Aurora 7 space personnel. Lieutenant Commander Carpenter circled on Earth three times and his Breitling Navitimer was on his wrist. Carpenter had asked Breitling to modify the Navitimer to suit the life of the astronauts - especially with 24-hour displays.
Breitling has long been a friend and travel necessities in the aviation field, but the space expedition has brought Breitling to a new stratosphere. The Breitling watch is one of the first brands to specialize in space travel. Many of these changes were made by Lieutenant Commander Carpenter himself.
Their 50th Anniversary Edition is an update to the original Navitimer, with the Mercury 7 and Aurora 7 titles engraved on the back of the case. The back of the watch also includes a conversion ratio from Fahrenheit to Fahrenheit, which usually appears on older Navitimer models.
With a 24-hour display, manual winding mode and circular sliding rules, this watch is very useful for people entering and leaving the Earth's orbit. Like all Breitling products, this watch is very precise - necessary for those in space where a defective instrument can cause fatal miscalculation. Fortunately, Lieutenant Commander Carpenter, his Breitling Navitimer helped him maintain a whole!
Lieutenant Commander Carpenter’s original Breitling watch has been lost; Breitling gave the astronaut a new, more waterproof version of his watch, his original version of which had not been found after his landing on the water. If you are a fan of this watch, you will also want to take action quickly before this watch.
However, this replica luxury watches will never be robbed. Breitling produced the 50th anniversary of the Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute (to commemorate the iconic date), so if you want to capture this little point of observation history.
