In celebration of the first anniversary of Breitling Boutique Hiroshima, Breitling is launching two exclusive limited edition models of the Endurance Pro. Drawing inspiration from the team colors of the Hiroshima Toyo Carp, known for their vibrant red, these special editions feature the iconic characters “Carp Boy” and “Carp Girl” from the beloved Hiroshima Toyo Carp baseball team. The former will be limited to 100 pieces, while the latter will have an even more limited run of just 25 pieces. These exclusive timepieces will be available for purchase at Breitling.com, Breitling Boutique Hiroshima, and authorized Breitling retailers, including Tomiya Mecha Museum Store and Tomiya Kurashiki Store, both operated by Tomiya Corporation.
The Endurance Pro, Hiroshima Toyo Carp limited models, showcase a 44mm case crafted from the ultra-lightweight Breitlight® material, weighing merely one-third of titanium. Equipped with a temperature-compensated SuperQuartz™ movement, which is ten times more precise than traditional quartz, these timepieces not only offer remarkable accuracy but also ensure comfort and a fashionable aesthetic suitable for daily wear, available in a variety of colors.
The Hiroshima model released on this occasion proudly displays the team logo at the 4 o’clock position on the dial, while the case back is engraved with Carp Boy, an iconic Carp character since 1975. Limited to just 100 pieces, this version also features a unique identifier indicating its exclusivity. Additionally, an even more exclusive version with Carp Girl engraved on the case back is available, with a limited production of only 25 pieces.
Breitling Boutique Hiroshima, established as a flagship store in the Chugoku region on November 22, 2022, offers a one-of-a-kind retail experience in a modern-retro setting. With an extensive selection of approximately 180 items, the boutique proudly features the latest and limited edition Breitling models. Visitors are greeted by knowledgeable and passionate Breitling specialists (authorized salespersons) who provide expert guidance.
The Hiroshima Toyo Carp, a professional baseball team formed in 1950, holds a unique position as a beloved citizen’s baseball team due to its unwavering support from fans in its hometown of Hiroshima. The team’s distinctive red color, adopted since 1958, is a tradition reflected in these limited edition watches. Carp Boy, the oldest character of a professional baseball team, is prominently engraved on the case back of the exclusive timepieces. The 2023 season’s catchphrase, “がががが が むしゃら” set by coach Takahiro Arai, conveys a powerful message echoing the image of a carp, a fish known for its determination to climb waterfalls.
