And while these champion explorers made this interstellar leap, they wore timepieces as chronometric space navigation tools. In the throws of the Cold War was the \u2018Space Race\u2019 \u2014 a battle for cosmic superiority between the USA and the Soviet Union. Ambitious, bold, and relentlessly innovative, this geopolitical warfare birthed eternal icons of time. Whether born out of technological necessity or by accident, they were destined to shine among the stars. We\u2019re comparing two Space Race icons: the OMEGA Speedmaster and Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute \u2013 learning about their origins, contributions to space travel, legacies through time, and current references.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>OMEGA Speedmaster\u2019s Journey To The Stars<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After WW2, America and the Soviets employed German rocket engineers to build space programmes for their respective nations. With Yuri Gagarin\u2019s Vostok 1 completing an Earthly orbit in \u201861, the Americans were lagging, desperate, and on the clock &#8211; they made a bold promise to send a man to the moon by the decade&#8217;s end. Three years later, NASA\u2019s procurement and contracts division sourced reliable space gear for Apollo missions, including a chronograph timepiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1050\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-1-56.webp\" alt=\"OMEGA\u2019s Speedmaster\" class=\"wp-image-12537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-1-56.webp 1050w, https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-1-56-768x341.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-1-56-600x266.webp 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Out of four brands that responded to NASA\u2019s request for proposal, only one subject survived their rigorous tests: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/watches\/omega\/speedmaster\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">OMEGA\u2019s Speedmaster<\/a>.

Finally, in 1965, NASA declared the OMEGA Speedmaster as \u201cflight-qualified for all manned space missions\u201d, ready to be sported as space wristwear. NASA\u2019s Gemini 4 mission crewmate Edward White wore the Speedmaster on America\u2019s first spacewalk. Four years later, Sir Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on the lunar surface &#8211; this spaceflight dawned a new legacy for the OMEGA Speedmaster, cementing its name as the \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/time-machines-how-omegas-speedmaster-professional-became-the-moonwatch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Moonwatch<\/a>\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute\u2019s Interstellar Orbit<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While OMEGA prepped for its Speedmaster for NASA\u2019s rigorous testing, Breitling\u2019s specially designed Navitimer Cosmonaut had already reached the stars. The Navitimer, introduced in 1952, was already a renowned pilots\u2019 watch, and its revolutionary slide-rule bezel transformed how pilots performed in-flight calculations. As the Space Race dawned, the Navitimer was demanded to leap beyond Earth\u2019s horizons and into the unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1050\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-3-50-2.webp\" alt=\"Breitling Navitimer\" class=\"wp-image-12540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-3-50-2.webp 1050w, https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-3-50-2-768x341.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-3-50-2-600x266.webp 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1962, Willy Breitling received a cold call from NASA astronaut Scott Carpenter with a special request to create a Navitimer for space exploration. Carpenter was introduced to Breitling by a few military pilot friends and was particularly a fan of the Navitimer\u2019s computational slide rule. However, while the Navitimer was making a literal leap to the stars, it also needed to make a mechanical and cosmetic leap. As space travel erases the boundaries of day and night, Carpenter requested a 24-hour dial, a stretch-style metal strap, and an extra-grippy bezel to use the slice rule in space. On May 24, 1962, Carpenter\u2019s Aurora 7 spacecraft orbited Earth three times, and the Navitimer Cosmonaute joined him as a companion in the heavens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1050\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-4-43.webp\" alt=\"Navitimer Cosmonaute\" class=\"wp-image-12541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-4-43.webp 1050w, https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-4-43-768x341.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internal-4-43-600x266.webp 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>In this historic flight, the Navitimer Cosmonaute became the first Swiss wristwatch in space, etching Breitling\u2019s name among the stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Houston, We Have A Problem<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s a famous tale from the Speedmaster\u2019s many space ventures with NASA: In 1970, it was an OMEGA that saved the Apollo 13 crew from getting lost in space after a fatal engine disaster. Nearly 320,000 miles away from home and 56 hours into the mission, the crew reports their spacecraft\u2019s oxygen tank has exploded alongside an electric power loss &#8211; \u201cHouston, we\u2019ve had a problem\u201d famously exclaimed one of the astronauts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After aborting the Lunar landing mission, they turned back home &#8211; however, to safely re-enter Earth\u2019s atmosphere, the spacecraft needed to precisely accelerate and decelerate. With timekeeping playing a critical role here, the astronauts instinctively ditched their digital gear and went acoustic &#8211; using their Speedmaster. These critical fourteen seconds of re-entry earned OMEGA a Silver Snoopy Award. The Space Race with the Soviet Union came to a close in 1975, as the Apollo rocket rocked with Soyuz in space. During this historic handshake, all astronauts wore Speedmasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cosmonaute Splash Lands from Space<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scott Carpenter\u2019s Mercury-Atlas 7 mission was a triumph of human determination and resilience. After completing three Earthly orbits, the mission faced an unexpected challenge \u2014 its re-entry trajectory veered off-course, leading to a dramatic splashdown 400 kilometres away from the intended recovery zone in the Atlantic Ocean. In this moment of uncertainty, the Navitimer Cosmonaute, strapped to Carpenter\u2019s wrist, remained a steadfast companion. Designed for space travel, the Navitimer Cosmonaut endured immense G-forces, weightlessness, and searing re-entry temperatures but couldn\u2019t face the ocean&#8217;s might. The timepiece was damaged by saltwater, and Carpenter returned it to Willy Breitling. While the dial was destroyed, its saltwater corrosion created a distinct patina &#8211; almost like a planetary landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Current Configurations \u2013 OMEGA Speedmaster<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Kapoor Watch Company, our OMEGA Speedmaster collection encapsulates the many forms it\u2019s taken over its 67-year legacy. In its most quintessentially celebrated form, the Ref. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/watches\/omega-speedmaster-men-310-30-42-50-01-002\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">310.30.42.50.01.002<\/a> features a black triple-register chronograph dial with a tachymeter and small seconds, cased and strapped in 42 millimetres of stainless steel. Embracing its celestial heritage, the Ref. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/watches\/omega-speedmaster-men-304-33-44-52-03-001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">304.33.44.52.03.001<\/a> swaps out its chronograph registers for a moonphase and date indicator. However, if you\u2019re more interested in its technical alter-ego, I\u2019d point you towards Ref <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/watches\/omega-speedmaster-men-329-30-43-51-02-002\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">329.30.43.51.02.002<\/a>, which features not only the staple chronograph but also a timezone indicator, Pulsometer and Telemeter. In terms of case size options, the Speedmaster ranges between 38 millimetres and 44.5 millimetres with options of stainless steel, black ceramic, and Moonshine Gold<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Current Configurations \u2013 Breitling Navitimer &amp; Navitimer Cosmonaute<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Cosmonaute Ref <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/watches\/breitling-navitimer-men-pb02301a1b1a1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PB02301A1B1A1<\/a> slates in 42 millimetres of stainless steel and platinum housing a manual-wound Calibre B02 with a 70-hour power reserve. The bezel runs bi-directionally, featuring a slide rule, a non-screw-locked crown, and two chronograph pushers. The dial is a complicated thing of beauty, plucked right off a cockpit and strapped on the wrist. It features a triple-register chronograph, a 24-hour function, and a date window at six o\u2019clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The larger Navitimer collection has polar points of complexity: time-only and the classic triple-register chronograph aesthetic. Sizing in options of 32, 35, 36, 41, 43, and 45 millimetres, they\u2019re cased in stainless steel, rose gold, pink gold, and more. If you\u2019re looking for timelessness, opt for the Ref. AB0137211B1P1, which features the metallic shine and technical brilliance of a classic Navitimer. If it\u2019s modernity and practical elegance you prefer, consider the Ref. U17326121M1P2 features a chic burnt grey dial with a date window at six o\u2019clock, running automatic and cased in stainless steel\/pink gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 5<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>Centuries of Earthly exploration, but humanity\u2019s greatest voyage was departing its planetary bounds and venturing into the celestial void.
