The Breitling Cockpit B50 Orbiter Limited Edition
On March 21, 1999, balloonists Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones safely landed their Breitling Orbiter 3 in a remote region of the Egyptian desert. In doing so, they became the first people to circumnavigate the globe non-stop in a balloon. Twenty years later to the day, Breitling – who sponsored the unique journey – will celebrate this incredible feat of human ingenuity with the Cockpit B50 Orbiter Limited Edition, a SuperQuartz™ timepiece with features worthy of a true scientific and aeronautical milestone.
