A Historic Collaboration: Breitling and Six Nations Rugby
The 2025 Guinness Six Nations Championship marks Breitling’s fourth season as the Official Timing Partner, reinforcing the shared values of precision, endurance, and heritage. With Six Nations Rugby dating back to 1883 and Breitling to 1884, this partnership celebrates a legacy of innovation and tradition.
Breitling CEO Georges Kern states: “The energy of rugby’s greatest championship is embedded in these limited editions. We proudly support both men’s and women’s rugby and celebrate the bold spirit of the game.”
Iconic Design Inspired by Rugby’s Legacy
