The Breitling & Triumph Motorcycles collaboration continues with the presentation of the Chronomat B01 42 Triumph watch and the Speed Triple 1200 RR Breitling Limited Edition motorcycle. Those who purchase one of the 270 co-branded motorcycles, gain the privilege of acquiring the Triumph Owners Exclusive watch.
The third timepiece to result from the partnership between the Swiss luxury watchmaker and British motorcycle brand, the Breitling Chronomat B01 42 Triumph is a fusion of titanium and 18 k red gold graced with an anthracite dial, complemented by a perforated brown leather strap. It features 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.
Each of the 270 owners of the Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR Breitling motorcycle 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. Each made-to-order watch has an engraving on the caseback that matches the individual number inscribed on the top yoke of the bike.
The Speed Triple 1200 RR motorcycle is a modern roadster flaunting a stunning metallic paint finish with hand-painted detailing, ultra-light carbon fibre parts, a unique high-specification Akrapovi? titanium silencer, and a bespoke leather seat with exquisite French stitching.
Breitling’s presence on the bike is subtle. 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.
The new Chronomat B01 Triumph editions in titanium and 18 k red gold echo the dark shades of the motorcycle, while their golden details pay homage to the Speed Triple 1200 RR’s Öhlins front forks.
“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.”
