Breitling introduced 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. Kicking off on February 4, The Guinness Six Nations marks the watchmaker’s second season as the Official Timing Partner to Six Nations Rugby, the organization known for delivering rugby’s greatest championships, showcasing thrilling men’s and women’s matches between its six competing unions: RFU (England), IRFU (Ireland), WRU (Wales), SRU (Scotland), FFR (France), and FIR (Italy). As the exclusive luxury watch partner to Six Nations Rugby, Breitling revealed the Chronomat Six Nations series that features a unique timepiece for each national team.
The Chronomat Six Nations series includes stainless-steel watches that feature 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 – all powered by Breitling’s exceptional Manufacture Caliber 01. Each model is distinguished 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 Chronomat Six Nations is fitted with 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. The hands are coated with luminescent Super-LumiNova®, and like all Chronomat models, it is water-resistant to 200 meters. Each caseback is specially engraved with the name of the union, “Six Nations”, and the “One of 150” limitation.
Swiss watchmaker also presents the new Breitling Rugby Squad, a crew of seven notable players from each of the Six Nations Rugby unions and federations. 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 Player of the Championship; and also from Scotland, Stuart Hogg, twice named the Championship’s top performer.
The Chronomat Six Nations is available in the UK and select EU countries.
