Breitling Cosmonaute Flyback 2006 < >Name: 2001-2002: Cosmonaute Flyback Hisory records: Automatic movement, date and flyback function. |

In
2001 the Swatch group decided they could no longer guarantee non Swatch
group watch companies the use of there Lémania movements. There
also no longer is the name Cosmonaute on the dial. Again in the history
of the Cosmonaute we stand on a threshold. As one can imagine there are
Cosmonaute and Navitimer enthusiasts that claim that after 1979 the models
ceased to be the "real Navitimer. There also are enthusiasts that are more purist and lay the line somewhere between 1968-74 when the movement changed to a Valjoux or Breitling 11, 12 or 14. In 2001 we see an increasing interest and discussion surrounding the Lémania powered Cosmonaute. Again there are enthusiasts that have laid there line and we see the value of the Cosmonaute II and the Old Navitimer Cosmonaute rise. We are heading for a new threshold. Only time can tell what will be the next step. |
