About This Watch

Pre-owned & mint! Comes with orig. boxes but no paper. Watch is very well kept by first owner. It has probably been polished in it's lifetime but we didn't need to do anything to this when we acquired it. All functions work well. The Cosmonaute is a classic & an important collection from Breitling. It was introduced in the 1960s when it was first worn by the Russian Cosmonautes during the "Rocket Age". Very little has changed since then & this is a rare luxury edition in solid 18K gold. The watch has a 24hrs time instead of the regular 12 so you'll need to really read the nos on this watch. What happens is in space, you don't know whether it's day or night so the 24hrs reading is paramount. Vintage orig. Cosmonautes are very valuable now, fetching over US$3000 easily on steel models. Good deal, buy this & save money! Water resistant to 30M. Discontinued model & highly collectible @ our most reasonable price.
