The story has it that Scott Carpenter, one of the astronauts selected for the NASA Mercury space program, suggested the idea of making a watch with a 24 hour analog dial instead of the typical 12 hour dial to Breitling.

This horological complication saves time by allowing its wearer to stop, reset and restart the chronograph with a single push of the button. There are plenty of the Navitimer Cosmonaute versions to choose from. The watches come with dials in black and silver and sub-dials in silver, black and golden. The cases of the watch are also available in different versions – in red or yellow gold and stainless steel.

The primary function of these watches is just to look good. Unlike such timepieces, replica Breitling watches, and the Breitling Navitimer watches in particular, have been used by pilots worldwide throughout the history of aviation. In 1936, the company became official supplier to the air force of the United Kingdom and Breitling watches have been issued to pilots ever since.
The Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute is a modified version of the Breitling Navitimer watch created in the early sixties.

Manufacturers of luxury watches like to add the words “aviator” and “pilot” to the name of their timepieces, but it is not likely that the men operating aircrafts really wear any of them during flights.

The 24 hour dial was necessary because it is impossible to tell day from night in space. The company eagerly embraced this idea, and created the Breitling Navitimer with a 24 hour dial which the astronaut wore during the space flight in 1962. Later on, Breitling kept producing this version of the timepiece under the name “Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute”.
Like most watches meant for pilots, the Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute has a flyback function.
