THE BREITLING CHRONOMAT AUTOMATIC GMT 40 NFL TEAM EDITIONS
Named for Greenwich Mean Time, the original international time-zone standard, the Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 NFL Team Editions are Breitling’s way of honoring those fans who travel for the love of the game and their team. With its dual-timezone display and recognizable team aesthetics, it is the perfect watch for visiting team fans travelling to stadiums to watch their team take on the gridiron this season.
The dial color matches each NFL team’s primary color—be it Montana Red for the San Francisco 49ers or Midnight Green for the Philadelphia Eagles—each dial will be the ultimate expression of fandom on your wrist! On the contrasting GMT hand, the secondary color of each team is featured such as Steelers Gold or Broncos Navy. Breitling went for a tone-on-tone 24-hour scale to let the team’s color GMT hand speak for itself. One final tribute to your NFL team includes the individual club’s logo engraved on the caseback.
Designed for every pursuit, the Chronomat GMT 40 delivers on versatility. Inside, it’s powered by the COSC-certified Breitling 32 caliber with a 42-hour power reserve. Outside, its practical 40 mm size, 200 m water resistance, and robust build make it sturdy enough for the tailgate cooler—sharp enough for your game-day fit.
THE BREITLING ENDURANCE PRO NFL TEAM EDITIONS
Made of titanium, a robust material 2.2 times lighter than stainless steel, Breitling’s ultralightweight Endurance Pro may have been designed with football in mind, but it is a stylish and sporty chronograph perfect for everyday fans to sport at games all year round.
There are 32 colorful variations of the new Breitling Endurance Pro NFL Team Editions, designed to celebrate each NFL Team.
