Honoring Rugby’s Oldest Championship
As the Official Timing Partner since 2022, Breitling aligns its celebrated horological legacy with the rich history of Six Nations Rugby, established in 1883. Breitling CEO Georges Kern remarked:
“You can feel the energy of rugby’s greatest championship and all six unions in these limited editions, created by Breitling for this partnership. We are proud to be the official timekeeper of Six Nations Rugby, supporting both men’s and women’s rugby, and celebrate the bold spirit of a sport that resonates with Breitling’s sense of purpose.”
