Breitling, the Swiss luxury watchmaker renowned for its precision-made chronometers, has a rich history of partnerships in the aviation sector. Among these collaborations, Breitling's relationship with the Red Arrows, the aerobatic display team of the Royal Air Force, stands out.
Breitling and the Red Arrows have been partners for over 34 years, a relationship built on shared values of precision, excellence, and performance. Breitling is the only luxury watch brand authorised to use the Red Arrows' insignia and emblems, a testament to the strong bond and mutual respect between the two groups.
Breitling has released several limited edition watches celebrating this partnership, each designed to capture the spirit and excellence of the Red Arrows. These watches often feature unique design elements such as the Red Arrows' crest and colour schemes inspired by the team’s aircraft.
And now, Breitling continues its longstanding collaboration with the Red Arrows aerobatic display team by launching two extraordinary new watches to commemorate the team’s 60th display season.
The new releases are the Breitling Avenger 42 Red Arrows 60th Anniversary Edition and the Breitling Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 Red Arrows.
The Breitling Avenger 42 Red Arrows 60th Anniversary Edition is a limited-edition model featuring a 42mm blue-and-black dial with red accents, including a red-tipped seconds hand. The team’s crest is prominently displayed at 9 o'clock, and the caseback is engraved with 'Red Arrows' and 'One of 360'. It offers a choice between a three-row stainless-steel bracelet or a blue military leather strap with bold red stitching.
The Breitling Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 Red Arrows is housed in a 44mm black ceramic case with titanium pushers and comes with a blue military leather strap with contrasting topstitching. Red accents highlight the subdials, and the squadron’s logo featuring the iconic 'Diamond 9' formation is positioned at 9 o’clock.
A portion of the proceeds from Breitling's limited edition Red Arrows watches is dedicated to the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund, supporting the welfare of RAF personnel and their families. This partnership underscores Breitling’s commitment to aviation heritage and excellence, aligning its brand with one of the world’s most prestigious aerobatic display teams.
