This one would take some getting used to, but man, what a lovely watch. Mid-60s Cosmonaute.

It's easy, 15:42...I love 24hr watches...They read as a digital watch, two scales, one for the hour and other for minutes...Awesome watch the Cosmonaute.

Easier to read in other 24 hr dials not so crowded...

Actually, 14:42... but I agree, cool concept. Just an adjustment from how I've been reading time for four decades.

That is one awesome watch.

Is it yours or one that you are selling/sold for that sale?

Yes, I did a too quick view, you´re right...

I could get used to that...

24-hour watches are very cool, . If I'm not mistaken, Breitling did some with 12 on top and 24 on the bottom as well, although I'm not sure in which models. That's a nifty variation.

In the context of being an actual pilot and having this as your on-the-job watch, I figure the 24-hour layout makes a lot of sense and would become intuitive to read very quickly. Making a 2-time-zone watch in this layout would make a lot of sense, too.

Thanks for sharing that, I love seeing funky pilot's watches!

1/4 to 3 looks funky to me, stylish but funky

That a cool Breitling--think I might opt for a more modern Navitimer, though..
