- Dates
- 21 Mar - 30 Apr
As Breitling celebrates a landmark year, it’s honoring the incredible firsts that have defined the brand. 21 March 2024 marks the 25th anniversary of the first nonstop balloon flight around the world with the release of the Aerospace B70 Orbiter. Each unique watch contains a piece of the history-making balloon.
A Living Piece of History
Presented on a titanium bracelet or a black rubber strap with a folding clasp, the watch features the Breitling Orbiter 3 mission logo on the dial at 3 o’clock. Its numerals, indexes, and hands are coated with luminescent Super-LumiNova®, making them legible even in low light. Both the case and optional bracelet have been crafted in titanium, a robust material with the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal. It’s also nonmagnetic, hypoallergenic, and highly resistant to corrosion, guaranteeing its wearers a strong, safe, and comfortable watch that will support 1them—even on the toughest missions.
The watch is powered by the newly designed COSC-certified Breitling Manufacture Caliber B70: a thermo-compensated SuperQuartzTM analog and digital display movement that delivers 10 times the accuracy of a standard quartz watch. This engine powers the watch’s array of functions, including a 1/100th of a second chronograph (with split-time and flyback functions), countdown timer, second timezone, two alarms, lap function, and perpetual calendar.
The Aerospace B70 Orbiter launches March 21, 2024—exactly 25 years to the day that the Breitling Orbiter 3 made its historic landing.
