Breitling and Triumph Motorcycles Unveil a Collaboration that Unites the Liberating Spirit of Motorcycling with the Meticulous Craft of Watchmaking
In their third partnership stride, the Swiss luxury watchmaker and British motorcycle brand introduce the Chronomat B01 42 Triumph watch, a fusion of titanium and 18k red gold graced with an anthracite dial. This new iteration is perfectly complemented by a perforated brown leather strap, capturing the essence of freedom on the open road.
A New High-Octane Pairing
Triumph revs up the excitement with its introduction of the Speed Triple 1200 RR Breitling Limited Edition motorcycle. Those who purchase one of the 270 co-branded machines gain the privilege of acquiring the Chronomat B01 Triumph Owners Exclusive, featuring a carbon dial that mirrors the high-octane aesthetic of the limited-edition bike and a caseback engraved with the motorcycle’s individual number.
Originally designed for the Italian aerobatics team Frecce Tricolori in 1983, the Chronomat bucked the quartz trend by reinstating mechanical chronographs to their former prominence. This spirit of bold innovation thrives in the new Chronomat B01 42 Triumph—a watch born from a shared philosophy with Triumph’s pioneering role in the world of motorcycles.
Shared Devotion to Excellence
“The Chronomat and the Speed Triple 1200 RR exemplify our joint devotion to the highest standards of design and performance,” says Georges Kern, CEO of Breitling. “With Triumph, we share a rugged spirit that combines artistry with adventure.”
Echoing this sentiment, Triumph CEO Nick Bloor says: “Teaming up with Breitling, we’ve united two worlds with our shared passions for precision, speed, and impeccable style.”
Convergence of Craftsmanship: The Owners Exclusive and the Speed Triple 1200 RR
For enthusiasts craving the thrill of both worlds, Triumph presents the Speed Triple 1200 RR Breitling Limited Edition motorcycle, capped at 270 machines. Each bike owner receives a special QR code on their limited-edition certificate, granting them the option to purchase the Chronomat B01 Triumph Owners Exclusive from Breitling.com. This made-to-order watch mirrors the motorcycle’s high-performance nature with a carbon dial and brown alligator-leather strap. A distinct engraving on the caseback matches the individual number inscribed on the top yoke of the bike, creating a unique set where the watch and motorcycle enrich each other’s story.
The Speed Triple 1200 RR motorcycle is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, a modern roadster flaunting a stunning metallic paint finish with hand-painted detailing, ultra-light carbon fiber parts, a unique high-specification Akrapovič titanium silencer, and a bespoke leather seat with exquisite French stitching. Breitling’s presence is in the details: a custom Breitling start screen, the Breitling logo laser-etched onto the machined rear wheel finisher, and a distinct gold Breitling badge on the tank. Each bike is individually numbered, enhancing the exclusivity of the Triumph Owners Exclusive watch.
A Testament to Bold Design and Innovation
The new Chronomat B01 Triumph editions in titanium and 18k red gold echo the dark shades of the motorcycle, while their golden details pay homage to the Speed Triple 1200 RR’s class-leading Öhlins front forks.
As the Chronomat holds a special place in Breitling’s history, this collaboration is not just an intersection of paths but a shared journey of pioneering spirit and bold design philosophy.
