Breitling Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute

In the 1960s, Breitling’s aviation chronograph was known as the king of pilot luxury fake watches. At the same time, however, the world is moving beyond air travel and into space exploration. This has prompted another kind of competition among watch brands, trying to see who can get their brands into the arms of astronauts on arduous space missions.

We all know about Omega’s Speedmaster and the legacy it left behind when the first watch went to the moon, but there’s actually another watch that actually made it to space first, and that’s the famous Swiss brand Breitling. watch. Breitling’s extensive experience with pilot watches helped them stand out when picking a brand for space missions. On May 24, 1962, during the Mercury-Atlas 7 mission, Breitling earned the title of “the first Swiss space watch” as astronaut Scott Carpenter orbited the Earth three times wearing a Navitimer Cosmonaute model.

Carpenter was so familiar with the Breitling pilot model during the flight that he personally asked to buy the Navitimer Cosmonaute. The Navitimer Cosmonaute is a variant of the Aviator timepiece with a 24-hour dial that distinguishes between day and night in space.

Today marks the 60th anniversary of the famous Mercury-Atlas 7 mission, and to commemorate this special occasion, Breitling has released not only Carpenter’s original Navitimer Cosmonaute, but also a special modern version of the timepiece. The Breitling 2022 Navitimer Cosmonaute is limited to 362 pieces. The three represent the number of times they orbited the Earth, while 62 represent the year 1962 when the mission took place.

The Navitimer Cosmonaute has all the iconic details that make the Navitimer what it is today. From a circular slide rule for mathematical calculations, to the “wings” logo of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, to a panda dial design with three sub-dials in contrasting colors. The main ingredient that sets the Cosmonaute apart from other Navitimers is the 24-hour clock. The Breitling Manufacture Caliber B02 is a brand new movement designed to carry a 24-hour time.

This latest version of Cosmonaute is as faithful to the original as possible. Appearance and design, the new Cosmonaute replicates the original with an all-black dial and strap options with a black alligator leather strap and seven-row stainless steel bracelet. The main difference is the use of materials, now the 41mm case has a platinum bezel. This timepiece features a beige super luminous material that adds even more color to the monochromatic dial in addition to the red on the bezel inscription. Breitling fake

As mentioned earlier, the movement inside is a Breitling-made Calibre B02 movement. This is a mechanical hand (manual) winding movement that operates at 28,800 VpH (4hz). This COSC-certified movement also offers a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. The difference between the original 1962 Cosmonaute and this 2022 version is the caseback. There is now an open sapphire crystal case back, showing a glimpse of the B02 movement. The movement decoration features a special bridge engraving to commemorate the 60th anniversary. Engravings such as “Carpenter”, “Aurora 7”, “3 Circles the Earth” and “Mercury 7”.

This latest version of the Cosmonaute pays homage to the original timepiece from 1962 while giving it a very modern update. The Cosmonaute is a true testament to the Breitling aviation watch that carries a piece of watch history that not many can boast about. Carpenter’s Cosmonaute was named “the first Swiss watch to go into space,” and the model that was released to the public shortly after maintained the same design and specifications, allowing collectors to be a part of the groundbreaking history.

Delighted with this latest creation, Breitling CEO Georges Kern said as he celebrated the 60th anniversary of the space mission: “When we launched the redesigned Navitimer earlier this year, everyone’s mouth was on it. The question always asks, ‘What about Cosmonaute?’ Today, I’m delighted to finally announce two Cosmonaute revealings: the first public view of a watch worn by Scott Carpenter in space, and a limited-edition 60th anniversary wristwatch that pays homage to his history-making pioneer. surface.”

Graham GMT Chronofighter

We went out with some of our friends this weekend and the guy brought his Graham GMT Oversize Chronofighter to show me. So I had to try it on my wrist like you did. This is a very large watch, and every design cue exudes from the oversized GMT hand, to the oversized GMT lettering, to the bold black and red bezel, and the trigger that doesn’t look out of place at the push of a button. The atomic bomb in the testosterone Bond movies. I think the clue to the watch’s intent is on the dial in front of you with the word “OVERSIZE” written on it. The case is 47mm in diameter, but fits well even on my small wrist. One reason is that the giant trigger system wears down your wrist, so when you flex it around your wrist, it doesn’t dig into your hand like the crown on some of my own larger watches.

In fact, the watch is very comfortable on my wrist and the strap fits perfectly, even on my small wrist. My friend’s watch has rubber straps, I’m a big fan of these watches, they’re very comfortable for me, and in this case, it reinforces the watch’s more casual and rugged look. In fact, I absolutely love this watch. Honestly, I’ve only really seen them online before and didn’t pay much attention to them thinking they were too big for me, but while testing it was a watch I’d love to have. I will wear it a lot and no doubt love it on my wrist. Sadly, the truth is that I tried everything I could to wrest this beauty from my partner’s hands, but the bottom line is that he can only drink more than me! In fact, I was so obsessed with this watch that I ended up walking out of the restaurant leaving my phone behind!

Graham is a British high-end replica watches online manufacturer named after the famous watchmaker George Graham. The company manufactures mainly in Switzerland and uses a combination of custom movements and some modified ETA parts.

Chronofighter is a little different, and more fun. First, this is one of Graham’s flagship watches. It contains an automatic movement G1733, which I believe is Graham’s first in-house movement, and it has a large date at 12 o’clock and a large GMT hand. The chronograph has a unique pusher and crown arrangement for stopping and starting measurements, and a plunger-like pusher.

The trigger stops and starts the chronograph while protecting the crown. As mentioned, the case is 47mm in diameter and the watch is thick with a signature solid caseback. It’s water resistant to 100 meters, but despite the rubber strap, I wouldn’t consider this a swimming watch.

The watch with the rubber strap is very light on my wrist, and the trigger on the side, while perhaps an acquired taste, is very comfortable for me.

It is often said that Graham fake was a polarizing watch company that jumped into the big watch bandwagon in a hurry. Maybe true, but how fun it is for boys to wear this watch. I use the word “boy” on purpose because it brings the boy into your heart. I went back to my childhood and knocked on my partner’s door to see if he was playing. I have a fully loaded Johnny Seven in my right hand and my Chronofighter in my left wrist! Bold and very striking, the pieces are full of ‘tools’ like British ancestry and masculinity, but their masculinity price is way too far in the wrong £7,000.

Honestly, would I recommend this watch? Its big, rugged styling, loud and proud lifestyle, and frankly garish demeanor? I bet the Chronofighter GMT is a great watch for people who like big fashion watches, and for the money, I haven’t seen anything beat it in terms of punch, practicality, and utter boyhood!

Urwerk UR-220 Red Gold

Aside from the heavily modified base movement in-house, the Urwerk’s otherworldly mechanism, which seems to tell the time only by chance, has more in common with something out of a sci-fi movie than a traditional watch. The essential feature of its watch is the Roaming Hours complication, originally invented in the 17th century for the clocks of the Vatican City. Although Audemars Piguet reinterpreted it as a wrist star wheel in the early 1990s, it was cheap Urwerk who reinvented an almost celebratory structure for a 21st-century complication, displaying hourly satellites in all their three-dimensional brilliance. By combining a satellite cube display with a three-dimensional retrograde minute indicator, the UR-210 and 220 series are the pinnacle of the brand’s concept.

After three versions in just two years, Urwerk will be bringing the curtain down on the UR-220. With a slimmer and sleeker case thanks to a built-in hand-wound movement, this model debuts in 2020 as the successor to the popular UR-210. It was initially launched in carbon fiber, followed by an all-black titanium and steel version, and then a second carbon fiber version with illuminated satellite cubes.

This makes the fourth and final UR-220 the only solid red gold iteration. Due to their size and style, Urwerk timepieces tend to benefit from the use of lighter, more modern materials such as carbon or titanium. But a warm precious metal with a distinct concentric brushed finish does give it an irresistible contrast. It is further paired with a white rubber strap that gives it an unparalleled presence while ensuring comfort on the wrist.

Notably, compared to all other red gold watches of the brand, the bridges of the hour satellite watch are gold-plated to match the case of the UR-220, visually highlighting the movement of the 3D proprietary dial system. Define Urwerk.

The central carousel consists of three cubes with an hour number on each side. Over time, the cube crosses the dial, inserting a huge skeletonized retrograde minute hand to display the current hour. At the top of the hour, the minute hand jumps back to zero and wraps around the next hour cube. This is achieved through the use of a ruby ​​bearing system to ensure stability, a double star cam below that triggers a spring attached to the satellite frame, and a large vertical cylindrical spring to generate enough tension to power the flyback. The minute hand is skeletonised and made of aluminium to minimise inertia and balanced by a bronze weight visible on the centre shaft.

Notably, in the UR-220, the 48-hour power reserve is displayed on two gauges at 1 o’clock and 11 o’clock. When the fake luxury watches starts running, the indicator at 11 o’clock begins to reverse, and once zero is reached, the second indicator takes over.

There’s also a digital service indicator on the back, activated by removing the guard pin, which activates a counter that displays the number of months the watch has run on two scroll wheels, allowing owners to keep track of the brand’s recommended 39-month service interval.

The base movement is still the highly modified Zenith Elite, which has gotten rid of the self-winding mechanism. As a result, the watch is noticeably slimmer, at 14.8mm thick, compared to 17.8mm for the UR-210.
