Breitling Mark Six Nations Rugby Partnership With Limited Edition…

Breitling have created an extremely limited-edition watch series, dedicated to the unions and federations that make up Six Nations Rugby of England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, France, and Italy.

The Guinness Six Nations kicks off on the 4th February, marking Breitling’s second season as the Official Timing Partner to Six Nations Rugby. The organisation is known the world over for delivering rugby’s greatest championships, showcasing exhilarating men’s and women’s matches between its six competing unions.

As the exclusive luxury watch partner to Six Nations rugby, Breitling have created a dynamic new series, named the Chronomat Six Nations, featuring a unique timepiece for each national team, limited to 150 pieces per watch.

“As Breitling’s all-purpose, no-limits sports watch, the Chronomat Six Nations is the ideal match for the fast and fearless world of rugby.”
Georges Kern, CEO, Breitling

The 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’clock and the classic rouleaux bracelet.

They are all powered by Breitling’s exceptional Manufacture Caliber 01. Each model sets itself apart by a dial that expresses the individual union’s colors, with its logo positioned in the subdial at 9 o’clock as well as on the sapphire crystal caseback.

The new Breitling Rugby Squad (below), a crew of seven notable players from each of the Six Nations Rugby unions and federations, will represent the Chronomat in their home countries.

Representing 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, Gaël Fickou, a 2022 Grand Slam winner; from Scotland, Hamish Watson, the 2021
