Orbital material
In 1962, Scott Carpenter became the first astronaut to orbit Earth wearing a Swiss wristwatch: a Navitimer with a 24-hour dial, later named the Cosmonaute. Today, that legacy returns in a new special edition that brings a piece of space to the wrist.

The Cosmonaute Artemis II introduces a galaxy-blue meteorite dial, cut from an extraterrestrial stone, and is limited to 450 pieces.

Configured for space travel 
From spacefaring pioneers like Scott Carpenter and John Glenn to today's astronauts, the Cosmonaute remains a trusted instrument in zero gravity. Its heritage spans from that first journey into space to missions aboard Mir and the International Space Station. Today the watch continues to earn its place on the wrist of those pushing beyond Earth's atmosphere.

Like the original, it’s powered by a manual-wind movement. The 24-hour manufacture Caliber B02 keeps mission-control time clear in orbit.
