To mark the first ever zero gravity flights for civilians in the UAE, Breitling, the exclusive partner of the project, has announced a limited edition watch - the Chronograph S3. The luxury Swiss watch maker and chronograph specialist will equip passengers on the zero gravity (weightless) flights, which are being organised by Swiss Space Systems (S3) for 2015, with an exclusive chronograph specially designed for this unique experience.
Breitling made history during its maiden weightless flight on the wrist of Scott Carpenter in 1962 with its Navitimer Cosmonaute, becoming the first space-travelling wrist chronograph. Now, as a tribute to the brand’s history, Breitling will equip all premium and VIP room passengers with an exclusive S3 ZeroG chronograph, which they will be able to keep as a memento.
This timepiece is equipped with a light and sturdy black titanium case and a SuperQuartz™ movement, which is ten times more accurate than standard quartz. It is distinguished by its S3 logo appearing on the dial and the rubber strap, as well as by its caseback engraving depicting a parabolic flight. It will serve as a boarding card for passengers and will not be commercialized outside this flight program.
