Breitling And The National Football League Kick Off Partnership With Team Edition Watches

The relationship between sport and timepiece has ever been an inseparable one, for the drama of athletic endeavour is invariably measured in fractions-of-a-second and the authority of victory is often enshrined in the precise calibration of a chronograph. In recognising this eternal kinship, Breitling has entered into a distinguished partnership with the National Football League (NFL), thereby entwining Swiss mastery of horology with the exhilarating theatre of America’s most beloved sport. This collaboration is not confined to the mere appointment of Breitling as the official custodian of time for the league, but finds splendid manifestation in the unveiling of two exclusive NFL Team Edition collections. The Chronomat Automatic GMT, emblematic of cosmopolitan sophistication, and the Endurance Pro, redolent of athletic resilience, have been imbued with the colours and heraldic emblems of the league’s storied franchises, transforming each timepiece into a dual celebration of horological artistry and gridiron glory.

Breitling Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 NFL Team Editions

The collection, sized at 40mm, comes on a stainless-steel case, a 60-minute unidirectional, ratcheted bezel, and an onion crown at 3 o’clock with two gaskets. The dial colour matches each NFL team’s primary colour, be it Montana Red for the San Francisco 49ers or Midnight Green for the Philadelphia Eagles gets a date window at 6 o’clock, a 24-hour scale on the outer periphery of the dial rather than on the bezel. Each dial matches NFL Team’s primary colour with chronograph hand in secondary team colour with Super-LumiNova luminescent hour markers and hands.

On the contrasting GMT hand, the secondary colour of each team is featured such as Steelers Gold or Broncos Navy. Breitling went for a tone-on-tone 24-hour scale to let the team’s color GMT hand speak for itself. One final tribute to your NFL team includes the individual club’s logo engraved on the caseback. Inside, it’s powered by the COSC-certified self-winding mechanical, bidirectional Breitling 32 caliber with a 42-hour power reserve. Finishing the watch is a stainless-steel rouleaux bracelet with butterfly clasp.

The Breitling Endurance Pro NFL Team Editions

With a diameter of 44mm, the new collection gets a titanium case, bidirectional compass scale bezel, two chronograph pushers at 2 o’clock, 4 o’clock, and a non-screw-locked, two gaskets crown at 3 o’clock. There are 32 colour variations of the new Breitling Endurance Pro NFL Team Editions, designed to celebrate each NFL Team. The variations are distinguished by their own colours that honour each NFL team, and are designed with an inner bezel, which is marked with a useful pulsometer scale, in the respective team’s primary colour. There is also an added design touch of the team’s logo positioned in the 6 o’clock sub-dial.

Each watch features a black dial with a 30-minute counter at 10 o’clock, a 12-hour counter at 2 o’clock, Super-LumiNova luminescent Arabic hour markers, and hour and minute hands, and a date window at 4:30. Powered by Breitling’s COSC certified thermocompensated SuperQuartz caliber 82, the movement provides unmatched accuracy for 3 to 4 years. Other features include easy readability, a timekeeping chronograph, and a solar compass to keep you on track and focused on the final stretch. The collection is presented on a black rubber strap with a titanium double tang-type buckle.
