Chronomat Six Nations Editions: Breitling’s Tribute To Rugby Excellence
Breitling has once again partnered with the Six Nations Championship, marking its fourth collaboration with the prestigious rugby tournament. As the 2025 edition kicks off on January 31st at the Stade de France, with Ireland defending their title, Breitling introduces a remarkable collection of limited-edition Chronomat watches, celebrating the six competing nations: England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France, and Italy.
The collection features two distinct models—the Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 and the Chronomat 32—each crafted to reflect the identity of a specific nation. Scotland, France, and Italy share blue dials, though each varies in tone and accent, symbolizing their unique national colors. England’s edition stands out with a silver dial complemented by a striking red GMT hand, while Wales opts for a bold burgundy dial with a light pink GMT pointer. Ireland rounds out the collection with a vibrant green dial paired with a sleek silver GMT hand.
The Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 boasts a polished and brushed stainless steel case measuring 40mm in diameter, 11.77mm in height, and 47.40mm in length. Its sapphire crystal protects a detailed multi-toned sunburst dial with applied hour markers and luminous-filled hands. A ball-shaped crown flanked by guards, a fixed metallic bezel with raised cardinal points, and a solid case back engraved with the Six Nations Ruby crest complete its rugged yet sophisticated design. Water-resistant to 200 meters, it features an additional GMT hand for a second time zone and an inner 24-hour ring for easy tracking. Powered by the COSC-certified Caliber 32 automatic movement, the watch offers a 42-hour power reserve.
The Chronomat 32 offers a refined alternative, designed for those seeking elegance in a smaller form. Measuring 32mm in diameter and 8.54mm thick, it features an equally polished and brushed case, adorned with a sapphire crystal and a fixed bezel. Its dial is enhanced by 18k yellow gold indexes set with diamonds and matching gold-plated hands. Powered by the COSC-certified SuperQuartz Caliber 77 movement, it offers precise timekeeping with a battery life of three to four years. With 100 meters of water resistance, the watch maintains both style and function.
Both models are paired with Breitling’s signature Rouleaux bracelet, secured by a butterfly clasp. Limited to 250 pieces per nation for the Chronomat Automatic GMT 40, priced at GBP 4,950, and 75 pieces per nation for the Chronomat 32, priced at GBP 3,950, these watches combine precision engineering, elegant design, and a celebration of national pride.
As the Six Nations Championship gets underway, Breitling’s latest timepieces offer rugby enthusiasts and watch collectors a stunning tribute to one of Europe’s most iconic sporting events.
