Breitling steps into a new era as it joins Aston Martin and its Formula One™ Team as Official Watch Partner. The partnership connects handcrafted performance with precision engineering, beginning with the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team; a timepiece marking the watchmaker’s return to Formula 1®.
Two worlds shaped by speed now move together. From Aston Martin’s vehicles built in Gaydon and St Athan to the team’s pursuit on the circuit, the collaboration spans the full Aston Martin universe. “Every line, finish, and proportion has purpose,” says Georges Kern, CEO of Breitling. Lawrence Stroll highlights the shared values of ambition, craftsmanship and engineering excellence.
The Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team reflects that alignment. Limited to 1,959 pieces, it carries Aston Martin Racing Green with lime accents from the team’s livery. A lightweight titanium case, the first on a Navitimer, meets a carbon‑fiber dial inspired by the cockpit of an F1® car. A textured leather strap recalls a racing harness, while enhanced nighttime visibility keeps the watch legible under pressure.
Through the open sapphire‑crystal caseback, the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01 reveals its COSC‑certified precision, complete with a matte‑black tungsten rotor created for this edition. Engravings mark the series: “One of 1959” and “Instruments for Drivers.”
The partnership will be visible throughout the Grand Prix season, beginning with the AMR26 launch on 9 February and continuing at the Australian Grand Prix in March. As the collaboration evolves, fans can look forward to exclusive releases, a continued meeting of time and speed.
