By 1. 96. 8 a new version of the Cosmonaute was in the pipeline, this time in a more robust case. It was to be produced in both automatic and manual versions the automatic featuring the new to market Breitling cal. Heuer, Buren and Dubois Dpraz and the manual continuing with the Venus cal. The sharp eyed may have noticed that the crown is on the left hand side of the case for the automatic, and on the right hand side for the manual. To avoid having to manufacture two different cases, the cases were all drilled on both sides and a black plastic plug inserted into either one side of the case or the other you can just see the plug on the right hand side of the case in the picture below. The watch in this post arrived in non running condition and the chronograph wouldnt start, stop or reset not the best of starts. However, on opening the watch things were more encouragingThe reason that the chronograph wasnt working was down to one of the case clamps having fallen out, the watch was sitting too deep in the case, and so the pushers were no longer in line with the operating levers.

Sure enough, after a full service the movement started right up and all functions operated as expected. I even found the missing clamp and securing screw rattling around inside the movement which was an added bonus. Regular readers will undoubtedly have seen this before but the automatic winding mechanism on this calibre is hidden in the centre of the calibre under the chronograph module. Here is a picture of the movement with and without the module in place, as you can see its in great shape after a full service.

In watches with a both an hour hand and a 2. Seiko Navigator Timer, the 2. In the Cosmonaute, as there is no regular hour hand, the 2. With the movement serviced, the case cleaned and the crystal polished, the watch was ready for re assembly. Finally, what isnt clear from the pictures is the size of this watch. With a case diameter of 4. WIS favourites look like ladies watches. Well, not quite but you get the idea its a bruiser alrightRich. Many thanks to Dominic Mc.
