Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute Ref: 809

Description

Case and design
Introduced in the 1960s, the Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute Ref. 809 features a 41 mm stainless steel case that provides a striking presence on the wrist. The bidirectional rotating bezel with integrated slide rule allows pilots to perform complex calculations during flight. The black dial with white subdials in a “Panda” design ensures optimal readability, while the Arabic 24-hour numerals and slim hands underline the functional character of this watch.

Movement and technology
Inside the Navitimer Cosmonaute Ref. 809 is the hand-wound caliber Venus 178, a reliable chronograph movement with column wheel control. This movement offers a power reserve of approximately 48 hours and is known for its precision. The 24-hour display was specially developed for astronauts to distinguish between day and night in space.

Bracelet and Comfort
The watch is traditionally paired with a high-quality leather strap that complements the classic look of the Navitimer Cosmonaute and ensures a high level of comfort. The ergonomic design of the case and the supple straps ensure a comfortable fit on the wrist, even when worn for long periods of time.

Functionality
In addition to displaying hours, minutes and small seconds, the Navitimer Cosmonaute Ref. 809 offers a chronograph function with 30-minute and 12-hour counters. The integrated slide rule allows pilots to perform calculations such as speed, distance and fuel consumption directly on their wrists. The 24-hour display is especially useful for professionals who work in extreme environments where it is difficult to distinguish between day and night.
