Catalogue Essay
- In 1999, Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones circumnavigated the globe in a balloon, forever changing aviation. To honor the 25th anniversary of their daring Orbiter 3 journey, Breitling celebrates their pioneer spirit with the Aerospace B70 Orbiter.
- This digital chronograph beautifully mirrors the capsule's vibrant orange hue, while the engraved mission logo honors their historic achievement of 45,633 km in 19 days. The rugged titanium case was chosen for its optimal strength-to-weight ratio, housing Breitling's super-accurate SuperQuartzTM movement and an array of functions such as chronograph with split-time and lap time, countdown timer, second timezone, two alarms, and perpetual calendar.
- But what truly sets this commemorative timepiece apart is the touching tribute through its transparent caseback - containing an authentic segment of the record-setting balloon fabric. With this thoughtful feature, the present Aerospace B70 Orbiter invites wearers to embark on their own adventures, carrying the torch of exploration into the future while never forgetting those who first lit the way.

Breitling
Swiss | 1884The firm started by Leon Breitling in 1884 is best known for its technical aviation and oceanic watches. Today, all models are outfitted with certified chronometer movements, used for accurate timing. Early aviation pioneers in specialized chronograph timepieces, Breitling introduced the circular slide rule to watches in the 1940s for use by pilots. The firm’s most iconic chronograph, the Navitimer, was introduced in 1954 and continues to be manufactured today. Another key model is the Duograph, a split-seconds chronograph that was Breitling's most prestigious wristwatch during the 1940s through '60s. Their watches are built on their reputation for precision and sturdiness.
