Breitling has just launched an extremely limited-edition watch series and a new squad, dedicated to the unions and federations that make up Six Nations Rugby: England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, France, and Italy.
\nThe Six Nations kicks off February 4, marking Breitling\u2019s second season as the Official Timing Partner to Six Nations Rugby, the organisation known the world over for delivering rugby\u2019s greatest championships, showcasing exhilarating men\u2019s and women\u2019s matches between its six competing unions: RFU (England), IRFU (Ireland), WRU (Wales), SRU (Scotland), FFR (France), and FIR (Italy).
\nThe Swiss watchmaker also holds the title of exclusive luxury watch partner to Six Nations Rugby, which was celebrated in today\u2019s unveiling of the Chronomat Six Nations.
\nThis dynamic new series features a unique timepiece for each national team, limited to 150 pieces per watch.
\n\u201cAs Breitling\u2019s all-purpose, no-limits sports watch, the Chronomat Six Nations is the ideal match for the fast and fearless world of rugby,\u201d says Breitling CEO Georges Kern.
\nThe stainless-steel watches have all the signature Chronomat characteristics: the raised rider tabs at the 15-minute marks, the easy-grip onion crown, the triple-register dial with integrated date at 6 o\u2019clock and the classic rouleaux bracelet \u2013 all powered by Breitling\u2019s exceptional Manufacture Caliber 01.
\nEach model sets itself apart by a dial that expresses the individual union\u2019s colours, with its logo positioned in the subdial at 9 o\u2019clock as well as on the sapphire crystal caseback.

\nProviding the personality behind this collection is the new Breitling Rugby Squad, a crew of seven notable players from each of the Six Nations Rugby unions and federations, who will represent the Chronomat in their home countries.
\nRepresenting Wales, top scorer George North; from Ireland, three-time champion Conor Murray; from England, powerhouse prop Kyle Sinckler; from Italy, star fly-half Paolo Garbisi, who made his test debut in 2020; from France, Ga\u00ebl Fickou, a 2022 Grand Slam winner; from Scotland, Hamish Watson, the 2021 Player of the Championship; and also from Scotland, Stuart Hogg, twice named the Championship\u2019s top performer.
\nBreitling\u2019s role as Official Timing Partner to Six Nations Rugby includes the Six Nations Championship, the TikTok Women\u2019s Six Nations, the Autumn Nations Series, and the Rugby World Cup 2023 warm-up matches.
\nThe high-performance action of Six Nations Rugby competitions, combined with its values of sportsmanship and inclusivity, are what drew Breitling to the partnership. The two also share a common heritage: the watch brand was founded in 1884, while the Championship can trace its roots back a year earlier, to 1883.
\nThe Chronomat was originally designed as the official watch of the Frecce Tricolori, the famed Italian aerobatics squadron. Not only popular amongst aviators, the Chronomat\u2019s tachymeter attracted the interest of Formula 1 teams in the 1980s and 1990s.
\nIts reversible rider tabs, which allow for \u201ccount up\u201d or \u201ccount down\u201d functions, also made it ideal for diving and yachting regattas. The Chronomat has since become Breitling\u2019s most multifaceted sports watch, associated with athletes who push the limits of human endurance in the air, on land, and at sea.
\nThe Chronomat Six Nations contains the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, a COSC-certified chronometer that delivers an impressive power reserve of about 70 hours and carries a five-year warranty. The 42-mm case and rouleaux bracelet are stainless steel.
\nThe hands are coated with luminescent Super-LumiNova\u00ae, and like all Chronomat models, it is water-resistant to 200 meters. Each caseback is specially engraved with the name of the union, \u201cSix Nations\u201d, and the \u201cOne of 150\u201d limitation.
\nThe Chronomat Six Nations is available in the UK and select EU countries. The Six Nations Championship kicks off February 4, when Wales hosts Ireland. The series runs until March 19, followed by the TikTok Women\u2019s Six Nations, beginning March 25.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
