Cockpit B50 Orbiter Limited Edition
The story
The Breitling Cockpit B50 Orbiter Limited Edition commemorates Breitling Orbiter 3, and tells the story of a daring mission with its black carbon-coated titanium case, and vibrant orange dial and rubber strap. . Exactly 20 years ago this balloon completed the first non-stop balloon flight around the world. This chronograph, limited to 213 pieces, is powered by the Breitling Manufacture Caliber B50: a thermal-compensated SuperQuartz™ analog and digital-display movement designed in-house. The Cockpit B50 Orbiter is COSC-certified chronometer featuring functions for the most extreme missions. Numerals, indexes and hands are coated with luminescent Super-LumiNova®.

The distinctive screwed titanium caseback of the Breitling Cockpit B50 Orbiter Limited Edition is engraved with an image of the Orbiter 3 balloon superimposed on a globe and surrounded by the words “FIRST NON-STOP FLIGHT AROUND THE WORLD – 20TH ANNIVERSARY – ETANCHE 100 M” as well as the limited-edition number (1 OF 213)
