What to know

The Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute Artemis II revisits the 24-hour dial created for astronaut Scott Carpenter in 1962. Its galaxy-blue face is cut from iron-nickel meteorite and acid-etched to expose a natural Widmanstätten pattern, making every dial visually different. The 41mm steel case retains the Navitimer’s bidirectional circular slide rule, cambered sapphire crystal and dense instrument-like display.

Reference AB02307A1C1P1 was announced on 13 April 2026 and is rated to 30 metres of water resistance.
