With a living piece of history, this adventurer's chronograph is equipped for pilots and all their daring endeavors.
On March 21, 1999, Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones made history by becoming the first to complete a nonstop circumnavigation of the globe in a balloon. Their Breitling Orbiter 3 journey spanned 45,633 km and lasted 19 days, 21 hours, and 47 minutes, ending in the Egyptian desert. In honor of the 25th anniversary of this remarkable achievement, Breitling has introduced the Aerospace B70 Orbiter timepiece. Featuring an eye-catching orange dial that pays homage to the capsule's color and adorned with the mission's logo, this watch is available with a titanium bracelet or a black rubber strap. The titanium case was specifically chosen for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and houses the COSC-certified Breitling Manufacture Caliber B70.
As a product expert, it is important to note the enhanced accuracy of this SuperQuartz™ movement which is ten times more precise than standard quartz movements. In addition, this watch boasts a wide range of features, including a 1/100th of a second chronograph with split-time and flyback functions, a countdown timer, a second timezone, two alarms, a lap function, and a perpetual calendar. Furthermore, each special edition also contains a unique piece of history: a segment of the original balloon, which can be seen through the open caseback.
