Seiko Baby Turtle. If it has to be Swiss, maybe Tissot PRX quartz. But if you have small wrists because of your age i would recommend the 35mm version. If german is your thing Laco Augsburg 39.
Have a look at something like a Seiko Supercars.... fun, comes with 2 different straps and nice presentation/a limited run. Id second many other Seiko's or Hamiltons, but in my teens something with a bit of colour and multi purpose was fun, you may not need to be looking at dress watches yet, have a look under Dive, Sports and field instead
Glycine would by my pick, something different than the usual Seiko's and Hamiltons. They use Sellita and ETA movements. They also feel better made than Seiko's and more expensive Hamilton's. They can also be picked up much lower than their retail prices from non AD's online.
I recently acquired a vintage Cosmonaute Navitimer that hails from the same year as my birth, that being 1965, which was only 2 years after Scott Carpenter completed his mission. I love the history, the science behind it and the piece itself. It's great to see this release as it will no doubt generate more interest in the model and quite possibly raise the value of my watch- not that I am ever selling it. It is an outstanding piece that is the same age as I am and THAT is for me a priceless connection with this important piece of horological history. Thank you so much for sharing this video!
I love 24 h watches. Having a Russian sturmanskie, a Swedish akerfalk, and a Swiss glycine airman, this launch was significant and I really hope it will have a regular version because the pricetag was beyond reasonable for me. Thanks for the presentation.
*Spectacular* timepiece. I don't know why Breitling haven’t been banging this drum *hard* for years... One of the best looking chronographs of all time imho & an unbeatable story.
@@MPD90 Whilst I get what you're saying Mike I don't necessarily agree. I'm not saying this is the *best* story, simply one of the *many* legendary and unbeatable, unsurpassable stories. Yep, Apollo 13 is *another* unbeatable story. There are *loads* of unbeatable stories about the pioneering Cosmo/Astronauts, like Voshkod-2 having a mini, albeit slightly less dramatic 'Apollo 13" situation of it's own. And this is *after* Alexei Leonov's (first ever) EVA almost ended very badly. I see all of these guys stories; Ed White, Dave Scott, Yuri Gagarin etc,. etc. as being incredible and unique & I love that we attach watches to them, like Hilary, Norgay & Everset or Aldrin & the Moon. These stories are a big part this hobby for me and trying to rank them is like picking your favourite kid! Cheers mate.
I agree with Mike. The watch was “found in a drawer” because it’s an embarrassment, not a triumph. It’s great that they went to space, but they dropped the ball when they got in the game.
@@Iexpedite1 Come on... In fairness to the Cosmanaute it spent a few hours in the ocean & was never disassembled, cleaned, re-lubed & re-assembled. Almost *every* chronograph of the era - Speedmaster included - would look exactly the same today if it was treated like that & left in a drawer to rot for 50+ years! ✌🏼️
Thank you for the video. I have been collecting for a couple years now, and the Breitling Navitimer just hit my radar. I like the Space history of the watch, but I like the utility of the dial the most. Most people don't know what all the numbers on the dial are used for, and this should be explained better by the company. Breitling is on the right track, and needs to advertise more and tell their story to new collectors like me. Great video!
Love this story. And I want a b02! But it’s always funny to me how breitling is celebrating a design that couldn’t handle 90 minutes in the water. Imagine how cool it would be if it had held up fine to the water and kept on ticking. Great stuff Adrian! Keep it coming.
I could never get used to the 24 hour dial. That said, the Navitimer deserves its spot next to the Speedie and Daytona as one of the most iconic chronographs.
I love your watch reviews you always manage to find watches I wouldn’t look at for myself. I don’t know about other people, but I’d like to see you review other topics. Cameras and coffees are the logical items. You’re easily the best watch reviewer and I’d like to see you have more success.
Thanks for the video! I really enjoy these that are under 10 minutes and give some history behind the watch. I would love to see something like this on Panerai.
Wow . I have just done the same flight on Saturday morning ! City airport is a great little airport, worth checking their destinations . Went to a function at Dolder Grand , great hotel next time ur in Zurich . Nice vid, thanks
I love 24 hour watches! I hope that this will be a non limited watch someday! I also loved this video and look forward to seeing your new videos Adrian.
Great Video as always!! I am a huge fan of chronographs and the Navitimer has always been my favourite watch. So I bought the previous model this year since I didn’t really liked the new models. Anyway the cosmonauts maybe would have changed my mind back then 😅 Nevertheless I appreciate that Breitling is finally telling this great story now and that the Navitimer gets the attention it deserves
Great video. The event was superb. Are they stepping on Omega's toe's possibly but the Navitimer Cosmonaut was the first Swiss wristwatch in space and I think they have a right to advertise as such. Breitling don't make enough if there early heritage. It was a pleasure to meet you at the event.
Awesome video. Any chance you’re planning to do an in depth look at the new 2022 navitimer or the 2020 Chronomat b01? Breitling is just class these days, return to former glory
Hi Adrian, thanks for an excellent video. A steel version of this watch would be cool, even more so if it had screw down crown and pushers to keep it safe on future space flights... 😀
Thats one hell of a sexy watch. Thanks for sharing! - good content is worth waiting for. I just bought the Tudor BB Chrono, and as I can see the same movement is in my watch. 10.000 CHF Breitling -> 3500 CHF. Made my day :D
Although what became known as the Seiko "Pogue" was used by 3 astronauts in NASA training, it was only used during the 84 days long Skylab-4 space station mission between November 1973 and February 1974. NASA forgot about Charles Conrad Glycine Airman automatic pilot watch, used during Gemini V and Gemini XI, not only the first automatic wrist watch in space, but also the first automatic watch to be exposed to outer space on Gemini XI. Astronaut Thomas Stafford offered a Movado DataChron automatic chronograph to US Marine Corps astronaut Gerald Carr, who snuck it into space during that same Skylab-4 space station mission. So both Movado & Seiko had the first automatic chronograph in space, both working flawlessly. Between 1971 and 1981, Apollo 15 astronaut James Irwin was often photographed wearing a Seiko chronograph. Photos on MoonwatchUniverse Archive ! 🧐
It is surprisingly easy to get used to a 24-hour dial. I have one on an old Raketa that also has a second time zone bezel. It might actually be my favorite “GMT” implementation, honestly. Set the watch itself to UTC and use the bezel to show local time. When you need a different local time, rotate the bezel. Unambiguous 24-hour time, no problem. Kind of wish Breitling would at least match the Speedmaster’s 50m WR rating.
Great job Adrian... I like "busy dials" but the Navitimer has the busiest dial in existence and just looks out of place to me. Yet I know there are watch junkies out there that luv uit so god for them.
Ew, tell Breitling you're not going if you have to wake up at 6:15am. ;) Joking aside, FANTASTIC VIDEO! I've learned so much about a watch I really should have known more about. :O You rock, A!
Definitely like the 24-hour thing it’s got going on. Living in Alaska where the sun is anything but a good indicator of time of day means this type of watch has a direct application for us “non-cosmonauts”.
So many possible “watches in Space.” Sturmanskie, Bulova, Seiko, and Fortis. They are all fun and up till now, they have all been far less than the Omega Speedmaster. Now we see the Brietling story. We shall see what happens next. As a kid who grew up during the Space Race, I couldn’t be happier even if the watches are generally out of reach.
Would be interested in a production version. I have a 24 hour dial and it is fun. You need to think it through when you look at the dial but in a really interesting way.
Hi Adrian and thanks for this video 😊👍🏻 It’s an amazing (and artistic ? 🤔) timepiece with an incredible story ! The new version have a best visibility 😆
Saw one at a jeweller’s window in Geneva two days ago. Didn’t go in to enquire or try it on, but perhaps should have at least seen what it’s like in the hands
Great to see you back, good video mate! Also as a side note any space watch is a great marketing piece for any watch company nowadays. If I was a ceo of a watch company that has the credentials I would be selling the living sh*t out of it. Just like the Speedmaster, Boluva lunar pilot and the gerlach.
Nice video. Not a big fan of Breitling although the Navitimer was very nearly my first automatic watch. Had it been a bit cheaper at the time, I would have gone for it, instead bought an Oris. Thanks for the bit of history too.
Really cool. Ill have this in a production model with with sub dial. For a anniversary LE , They did keep It safe. Why not try to make a dial that looks like the seawater recovered one
So tell us ....have they fixed it now? . the water resistance? Certainly Breitling have had long enough to ponder the problem ! Thanks for posting this Adrian. Superb piece.
Well... the first man in space was Yuriy Gagarin. And he was wearing watches named Sturmanskie. But it was quite usual soviet watches. This Breitling looks much more interesting)
Pictures don't do them justice and remember that they wear small. A 44 Breitling wears like most 41-42 mm watches. A 42 is like a 39-40mm so don't be scared of the bigger sizes.
2022 Navitimers are already a brilliant (albeit quiet) release, more refined more wearable, looks sharper and cleaner and not losing the Navitimer touch (Any chance to cover them on this channel). This handwound version is even sexier and more desirable It'd be wrong to not milk the sheep out of the first Swiss watch in space story
Very cool video! Very nice watch :) However, Carpenter wasn't the first (american) man in space, it was Shepard. And for the watches, the first two astronauts did not wear any watch (apparently) but Glenn wore a Heuer stopwatch with a band in the mission before Carpenter :) so it's not really the first Swiss watch in space 👍
Maybe Omega dominates the whole ”space story”… but Accutron was the real dominant force in space. Bulova has a story too. But Accutron was everywhere in the space industry. On almost EVERY flight. Breitling has made another pretty watch.
I used to have a '68 AOPA dialled Navitimer 809, as part of my Space watch collection. Horrible watch because of the ultra busy dial! I wore it a few times whilst flying (PPA) and it was useless. an old Army Precista Stopwatch and a basic easy to read Seamaster (or indeed any simple analogue watch) were perfect for flying. And as far as 24 hour dials go, give me the (also space flown) Glycine Airman any day of the week!
If this was an attack on Omega, then Breitling would have released the Cosmonaute Navi as a regular production model without a platinum bezel. I hope that Breitling does exactly this - offer this Cosmonaute in all steel and keep the price the same as the regular Navi. Let the customer choose if they want a 24hr dial or 12hr dial. I would buy a Cosmonaute to pair with my Speedy 3861.
Cool story for sure about the watch but wow that is one crammed in dial design. Breitling seem to have a habit of over cooking the dial designs which is why I returned one of their endurance watches.
Hi, I’m 14. What’s the best watch under £500?
Hamilton Khaki field auto/mechanical
Seiko Baby Turtle. If it has to be Swiss, maybe Tissot PRX quartz. But if you have small wrists because of your age i would recommend the 35mm version. If german is your thing Laco Augsburg 39.
Have a look at something like a Seiko Supercars.... fun, comes with 2 different straps and nice presentation/a limited run. Id second many other Seiko's or Hamiltons, but in my teens something with a bit of colour and multi purpose was fun, you may not need to be looking at dress watches yet, have a look under Dive, Sports and field instead
Glycine would by my pick, something different than the usual Seiko's and Hamiltons. They use Sellita and ETA movements. They also feel better made than Seiko's and more expensive Hamilton's. They can also be picked up much lower than their retail prices from non AD's online.
Don't buy Seiko, go Orient or Citizen

Kinda miss the times when there was a new Bark and Jack video every sunday 😕
I'm working on getting back to 1 a week, at least. There's enough content to do 2 a week.
On the other hand, fewer videos with a better Quality are also a Good option :) Nonetheless, you are the best watch UA-camr in my opinion :)
@@tim462 I would also settle for more frequent grainy/crap videos of Adrian reviewing Undone watches…………..😂

I absolutely love my Navitimer Heritage and it will always be in my collection. Simply beautiful to look at and a Flyback movement to boot. 👍👍
Rolex fan here - Absolutely stunning. Definitely top 3 of the list (if production version arrives)
Kick ass piece of content.
Well done 👍🏽 ❤️
We definitely need to see a regular production version, and this is a cool story. They should take full advantage of it.
I could never get used to the 24 hour dial. That said, the Navitimer deserves its spot next to the Speedie and Daytona as one of the most iconic chronographs.
The speedie is iconic because of why it was worn, the Daytona is only iconic because of by whom it was worn, and now only because of its pricetag...

Very cool, would love to have one. Thanks Adrian!
Awesome video Adrian. Was great seeing you there and I'm excited to see if they are really going to launch an unlimited Cosmonaute 😁. ✌🏻.
Scott Carpenter was not the first man in space. Where did that information come from? There were at least 5 men who made it to space before him.
I'm not sure, maybe too much coffee and too little sleep. I've removed that part now. Cheers.
What might you need an ND filter for when you’re going to an indoors event and an airport??
Cool story, ,thanks for sharing!
Saw one at a jeweller’s window in Geneva two days ago. Didn’t go in to enquire or try it on, but perhaps should have at least seen what it’s like in the hands
I don't know about all the fluff but it's a lovely looking watch and you don't see many Navis around nowadays.
Nice little side fact for those of a certain age - Scott in Thunderbirds was named after Scott Carpenter
If I could create a watch it would be a 24 hour watch but the noon (12) marker would be at top instead of bottom
And it would have a dial similar the deepsea sea dweller to represent day and night
No any technical problem from that arrangement.
Check out the Peak Design camera straps. Game changers.
I don't care about the stories. This watch is more attractive than a Moonwatch for me.
Great to see you back, good video mate!
Also as a side note any space watch is a great marketing piece for any watch company nowadays.
If I was a ceo of a watch company that has the credentials I would be selling the living sh*t out of it. Just like the Speedmaster, Boluva lunar pilot and the gerlach.

It safe. Why not try to make a dial that looks like the seawater recovered one
Isn’t the Strela the watch worn by Gagarin?
Only 362 of them! Well it's at least nice to see the video of them
Wait, are you saying that Omega watches went into space? Never heard of such a thing. Sounds implausible to me.
What’s the middle navitimer called with the orange hands?
Hey Adrian, curious non-watch related question: Do you use the active stabilization or catalyst browse when vlogging on the A7iv
So tell us ....have they fixed it now? . the water resistance? Certainly Breitling have had long enough to ponder the problem !
Thanks for posting this Adrian. Superb piece.
Well... the first man in space was Yuriy Gagarin. And he was wearing watches named Sturmanskie. But it was quite usual soviet watches. This Breitling looks much more interesting)
Great story Adrian!
First minute in: Cranky without your coffee. You’re in good company.
Haha.
Can you make videos like this but about omega! Would be very cool
This is another amazing watch.....that I will never buy. That said you made a great video. Bravo 👏
You learn a little something every day, I just did.
How is the B02 movement in-house? Isn't it a Kenissi movement? Wasn't there a technology transfer with Tudor?
Not for the chronograph. There it is the other way around. Tudor Chrono is equipped with an Breitling manufacture movement.
The B02 is based on the B01 and the B01 manufacture movement is used in the black bay chrono.
I think as a limited edition it isn't an attack on omega unless the release a production version
Great video, never really considered a Breitling before. Would like to try a steel version of this watch.
Pictures don't do them justice and remember that they wear small. A 44 Breitling wears like most 41-42 mm watches. A 42 is like a 39-40mm so don't be scared of the bigger sizes.
I want to replace my Citizen blackhawk with the 24h Navitimer maybe a vintage one i hope they will make more of them in the future
Beautiful, I want one !
2022 Navitimers are already a brilliant (albeit quiet) release, more refined more wearable, looks sharper and cleaner and not losing the Navitimer touch (Any chance to cover them on this channel). This handwound version is even sexier and more desirable
It'd be wrong to not milk the sheep out of the first Swiss watch in space story

It’s awesome! Nice vid introducing it.. BUT is it more water resistant than the original?
Very cool video! Very nice watch :)
However, Carpenter wasn't the first (american) man in space, it was Shepard. And for the watches, the first two astronauts did not wear any watch (apparently) but Glenn wore a Heuer stopwatch with a band in the mission before Carpenter :) so it's not really the first Swiss watch in space 👍
Live your traveling shows..
received mine 2 days ago, amazing watch
I thought sure this story was going to end with “...and so Brietling increased the water resistance to 50m”
I love the 24-hour scale as opposed to 12-hour scale. Make it in stainless steel.
Many thanks Adrian, again a nice, interesting and short video. Thanks again Mate. 🙂
Breitling is my favourite brand. I could buy only Breitling watches and be perfectly happy tbh.
It's GORGEOUS!!!
Maybe Omega dominates the whole ”space story”… but Accutron was the real dominant force in space. Bulova has a story too. But Accutron was everywhere in the space industry. On almost EVERY flight.
Breitling has made another pretty watch.
I used to have a '68 AOPA dialled Navitimer 809, as part of my Space watch collection. Horrible watch because of the ultra busy dial!

Looks amazing, is the watch with the Orange Hands on Subdials at 6:42 part of the series?
that’s a vintage Cosmonaute 819 from 1968

Cool story for sure about the watch but wow that is one crammed in dial design. Breitling seem to have a habit of over cooking the dial designs which is why I returned one of their endurance watches.
So they never fixed the water resistance issue! Nice one 😒
