Go weightless during a ZeroG flight. A specially designed Breitling chronograph is the boarding pass. The lucky partakers in this ZeroG experience will be entitled to keep this instrument for professionals.

Sounds great, doesn´t it… The S3 company (Swiss Space Systems) will be organizing its first weightless ZeroG flights to a broad public in 2015. As the main partner Breitling will equip passengers with an exclusive chronograph.

A little bit of weightless history for you first… 🙂

On May 24th 1962 Breitling made its maiden weightless flight on the wrist of the American astronaut Scott Carpenter with a Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute when he was surrounding earth in the space capsule “Aurora 7”.

This was by the way the first space-traveling wrist-chronograph.

Three months before, on the 20th February 1962, the American astronaut John Glenn surrounded the earth in the space capsule “Friendship 7”. Glenn was carrying the Heuer hand-chronograph 2915A with him that was fixed with a makeshift construction on the right arm of his space suit.

So if you ever asked yourself which was the very first mechanical watch in space this is the answer.
