Breitling lança relógio oficial dos voos Gravidade Zero para o público em geral


Em 2015, a empresa S3 (Swiss Space Systems) começa a organizar os seus primeiros voos de gravidade zero disponíveis para o público em geral. Como principal parceiro do projecto, a Breitling equipará os passageiros com um cronógrafo especial, especialmente concebido para esta experiência.

Calibre de manufactura, Breitling 73, cronómetro oficial COSC, de quartzo termocompensado SuperQuartzTM, cronógrafo rattrapante com medição até 1/10 de segundo, função GMT de ajuste rápido. Caixa de 43 mm, de titânio, luneta unidirecional, estanque até 100 metros. Bracelete de borracha.


Da marca:

In 1962, Breitling made its maiden weightless flight on the wrist of Scott Carpenter with a Navitimer Cosmonaute – the first space-traveling wrist chronograph. The brand with the winged B is now the main sponsor of the Swiss project S3 (Swiss Space Systems), of which the avowed aim is “space for all”. For this purpose, S3 has notably set up a program of weightless flights. The ZeroG project will begin in 2015 in over 15 locations around the world, including Asia, the Middle East and Central America. These flights of around two hours aboard an Airbus will each include 15 “parabolas” or free floats lasting between 20 to 25 seconds and providing a chance to experience total weightlessness by floating as if in space. Passengers’ equipment will include a Breitling chronograph specially created for the occasion. Equipped with a light and sturdy black titanium case and a SuperQuartzTM movement (ten times more accurate than standard quartz), this S3 ZeroG chronograph 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. Along with their flight suit, the lucky partakers in the ZeroG experience will be entitled to keep this authentic high-performance and functional instrument for professionals, water-resistant to 100 meters, as mementoes representing the equipment having accompanied them during this unique and unforgettable moment.
