As one can expect there where different versions over the years. For detail information you best check the very comprehensive History of the Cosmonaute by Altro at the WUS site.
In 2006 Breitling re launched the 24 hour version of the chrono-matic.
This time with 12 on top and 24 at the bottum. The name Cosmonaute was left out. This version is named Chrono-Matic. I think it's a great tribute to the Cosmonaute Chrono-Matic era.
