Breitling's new Cockpit B50 Orbiter Limited Edition Vibrant Orange Dial Watch Replica

IIn 1999, Breitling backed a distinctive event. Partnering with famous balloonists Bertrand Piccord and John Johnson, the company facilitated a "Non-stop around-the-world" flight by heat balloon. Your way was really pretty fascinating, and it has spawned numerous TV specials and documentaries (that I admittedly got lost in while writing this article). For anyone interested, check out the Breitling Orbiter 3's 21 day trip from the Swiss Alps to Egypt. It's compelling stuff. Twenty years later, Breitling fittingly releases the Breitling Cockpit B50 Orbiter Limited Edition replica to commemorate the event, and pay homage to the fact that Bertrand and Brian both wore a Breitling Emergency for their journey.

The Dial

The Breitling Cockpit B50 Orbiter Limited Edition replica commemorates Breitling Orbiter 3, and tells the story of a daring mission with its black carbon-coated titanium case, and vibrant orange dial and rubber strap.

The Feature

From a technical perspective, the B50 SuperQuartz movement is a real achievement. Not only does it feature a chronograph with flyback and split-time function, it features a perpetual calendar, dual-alarms with either a vibration or beep setting, a lap-timer and countdown timer, tachymeter, flight time tracker, and date. That's not including the numerous UTC time-telling functions. All of these functions are accessed and managed via a crown and just two pushers. Speaking from experience, the watch is surprisingly intuitive and easy-to-use considering the shear amount of functions.

The Movement
This chronograph, limited to 213 pieces, is powered by the Breitling Manufacture Caliber B50: a thermal-compensated SuperQuartz™ analog and digital-display movement designed in-house. The Breitling Cockpit B50 Orbiter replica is COSC-certified chronometer featuring functions for the most extreme missions. Numerals, indexes and hands are coated with luminescent Super-LumiNova®.

Conclusion

Aesthetically, it is, quite frankly, incredibly bright. Orange is getting increasingly popular in the industry, and a noticeable portion of Breitling's 70-something Baselworld novelties feature the color. At least it helps these watches stand out in a crowd. While not to everyone's tastes, it is functional in low-light conditions.
