Breitling Aerospace B70 Orbiter Rubber EB70101A1O1S1

Breitling Aerospace B70 Orbiter EB70101A1O1S1

The Aerospace B70 Orbiter by Breitling is a chronograph designed for adventurers inspired by the feats of Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones, who in 1999 achieved the first non-stop circumnavigation of the world in a balloon aboard the Breitling Orbiter 3. In commemoration of the 25th anniversary of this feat, Breitling has launched this special watch.

The dial of the Aerospace B70 Orbiter is vibrant in orange color, reminiscent of the Orbiter 3 capsule, and adorned with the mission's logo. This watch is available with a titanium bracelet or black rubber strap. Its titanium case, chosen for its optimal strength-to-weight ratio, houses the Breitling B70 Manufacture MMT caliber, a movement certified by COSC. This SuperQuartz™ movement is ten times more accurate than standard quartz.

The Aerospace B70 Orbiter is equipped with various functions, including a chronograph with a precision of 1/100 of a second (with split-second and flyback functions), countdown timer, second time zone, two alarms, lap time function, and perpetual calendar.

The standout feature of this watch is that each piece of the special edition contains an authentic fragment of the original balloon used by Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones on their historic journey. This fragment is visible through the open case back, adding a touch of authenticity and a direct connection to the remarkable aviation achievement.
