Breitling announces Aerospace B70 Orbiter

As Breitling itself celebrates a landmark year, it marks the 25th anniversary of the first nonstop balloon flight around the world with the release of the Aerospace B70 Orbiter.

Founded in 1884, Breitling is celebrating its 140th anniversary and today, the brand kicks off the festivities with a watch recognizing one of those momentous firsts: the Breitling Orbiter 3’s first nonstop balloon flight around the world. Celebrating this landmark on its 25th anniversary, Breitling, the sponsor of the groundbreaking voyage, unveils the Aerospace B70 Orbiter. The timepiece is a tribute to an adventure that expanded the horizons of human achievement—and, best of all, each watch contains a piece of the original balloon.
