Breitling has joined Aston Martin and the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team as Official Watch Partner.
The global, multi-year partnership will make its debut on the Formula 1 circuit at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, from March 6 to 8, 2026.
The collaboration is marked by the launch of the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team, a timepiece that signals Breitling’s return to Formula 1.
Limited to 1,959 pieces, the watch pays tribute to the year of Aston Martin’s first entry into Formula 1.
The 43 mm case, measuring 13.69 mm in thickness and water-resistant to 30 metres / 100 feet, is crafted from lightweight titanium — the first time this material has been used for a Navitimer case.
The carbon-fibre dial draws inspiration from materials found in the cockpit of a Formula 1 car.
Colour accents in Aston Martin Racing Green and lime are taken directly from the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team livery.
Green Super-LumiNova applied to the hour and minute hands, as well as the indices, ensures legibility in low-light conditions.
Through the sapphire crystal caseback, the COSC-certified Breitling Manufacture Calibre 01 is visible. This automatic movement operates at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) and delivers a power reserve of approximately 70 hours.
Its matte-black rotor, developed specifically for this edition, is made of tungsten with a high-durability PVD coating and bears the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team logo.
Surrounding the movement, the caseback features dedicated engravings, including “One of 1959” and Breitling’s signature phrase “Instruments for Drivers.”
The watch is paired with a textured leather strap that recalls a racing harness, reinforcing the motorsport connection.
The Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team, reference EB01381A1B1X1, has a suggested retail price of €10,500 / US$11,500. breitling.com
