Breitling is jumping into the Formula One sponsorship race with a new Aston Martin tie-up. The Swiss brand is now the Official Watch Partner of the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team. This global, multi-year partnership begins with the launch of the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team. Each watch is trimmed out with lime and Aston Martin Racing Green accents drawn from the F1 team’s livery. Limited to 1,959 pieces, this special edition pays tribute to the year of Aston Martin’s first foray into Formula One.
Every element of this Navitimer is designed for accuracy under pressure. This includes a lightweight titanium case – the first ever used on a Navitimer – and a carbon-fiber dial inspired by materials found in the cockpit of an F1 car. The textured leather strap recalls a racing harness, while enhanced nighttime visibility keeps the watch legible under any conditions. Turning the watch over reveals its engine, the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, fitted with a specially developed matte-black rotor bearing the Aston Martin Aramco logo. Additional caseback engravings include ‘One of 1959’ and the phrase ‘Instruments for Drivers.’
