The new Breitling Aerospace B70 Orbiter 25th anniversary edition

On Morch 21, 1999, Bertrand Picco and Brion Jones achieved the first nonstop circumnavigation of the globe in a balloon. Landing in the Egyptian desert, their Breitling Orbiter 3 journey covered 45,633 km in 19 days, 21 hours, and 47 minutes. To commemorate the 25th anniversary of this first nonstop balloon flight around the world, Breitling has released the Aerospace B70 Orbiter.

The pilot's chronograph for adventurers-complete with a living piece of history. Best of all, each special edition watch contains a living piece of history: A segment of the original balloon, visible through the open case back.
