Breitling’s enduring partnership with the Red Arrows aerobatic display team reaches new heights with the release of two remarkable timepieces, commemorating the team’s 60th display season.
The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team initiated their diamond anniversary campaign in February, unveiling plans for a captivating nine-aircraft show. This season promises an array of maneuvers not witnessed for a generation, further enhancing the Red Arrows’ dynamic display routine, which undergoes annual alterations.
The Avenger watches mark the latest additions to a distinguished series of limited releases honoring the enduring collaboration between Breitling and the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, spanning over 34 years. Breitling holds the exclusive privilege among luxury watch brands to prominently feature the Red Arrows’ distinctive emblems.
Introducing the Breitling Avenger 42 Red Arrows 60th Anniversary Edition, a limited-edition masterpiece boasting a striking 42mm blue-and-black dial adorned with vivid red accents, notably on the seconds hand’s tip. Positioned at 9 o’clock, the team’s emblematic crest proudly graces the dial, while the caseback bears the inscription ‘Red Arrows’ ‘One Of 360’, underscoring its exclusivity.
Available with either a three-row stainless-steel bracelet or a blue military leather strap accentuated by bold contrasting red stitching, this timepiece exudes both elegance and strength.
In parallel, the Breitling Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 Red Arrows makes a bold statement with its 44mm black ceramic case complemented by titanium pushers, elegantly presented on a blue military leather strap featuring contrasting topstitching. The subdials boast vibrant red highlights, with the squadron’s emblematic ‘Diamond 9’ formation prominently positioned at 9 o’clock.
A noteworthy aspect of this Limited Edition model is its commitment to giving back, as a percentage of sales will be donated to the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund, underscoring Breitling’s dedication to supporting noble causes while celebrating the spirit of aviation excellence.
