Breitling Cosmonaute 809 With Yellow Gold Case

The Breitling Cosmonaute is not here only for show; it was actually worn by the astronaut Scott Carpenter onboard space capsule Aurora 7. Legend has it the astronaut and military test pilot personally requested to Breitling that his favorite model, the replica Breitling Navitimer, be offered with a 24-hour dial to distinguish between day and night time, which lead to the launch of the Cosmonaute in 1961.

As you know, the Breitling did not make it through the NASA selection process for an official NASA service watch; it was not ever tested as it lacked water-resistance, resulting in Scott Carpenter's personal example not surviving its landing in the Atlantic. It is nonetheless an extraordinarily good-looking tool watch, with a splendid gilt dial. And the rarity of the reference 809 in 18K gold should be emphasized as well.

Heuer Carrera Dato 45 Watch With Date At 12 O'Clock

The beveled lugs tell you right away that you are looking at a Heuer Carrera, but the Heuer Carrera 3147 Dato comes with a twist (pretty obvious from its name). The first execution Dato presents a date-window at 12 o'clock in order to not upset the balance of the dial and the focus on its chronograph.

The date disc is red in order to contrast with the black dial, a clever touch that really makes this TAG Heuer Carrera replica watches; interestingly the date was later moved to 9 o'clock in the second execution, so the original placement might have had some opponents at the time.

As you would expect, the chronograph does not come with a Valjoux caliber, but rather, the trusted the Landeron 189 chronograph movement to provide the date.
