Breitling has once again proven its flair for innovation with the release of the Chronomat B01 42 NFL Team Editions Watches (from $8,800). In celebration of the National Football League’s 104th anniversary, Breitling and the NFL have joined forces to produce this first-of-its-kind collection that unites the heart-pounding energy of American football with the time-honoured craftsmanship of a Swiss luxury brand.
Each of the 32 franchises is represented in the series, with each team’s watch limited to only 104 pieces. Fans and watch aficionados alike will delight in the detail: the dial prominently showcases team colours and logos, while the rear case features the NFL logo, along with “One of 104” engravings to underline its exclusivity.
Collectors can choose their favourite NFL team and wear their pride on their wrist. From the Philadelphia Eagles’ iconic green to the Dallas Cowboys’ classic star, every watch is painstakingly customized to reflect a team’s heritage. Even off the field, this Chronomat stands out with its robust 42-mm stainless-steel case—complete with 200 m of water resistance (that’s equivalent to two football fields!).
The use of raised rider tabs at the 15-minute marks, along with an easy-grip onion crown, ensures a comfortable and functional experience, whether you’re immersed in a game-day tailgate or simply out for a weekend getaway. Those who prefer the original stainless-steel bracelet can enjoy Breitling’s signature rouleaux design, while rubber strap variations give the watch a sporty edge that matches its football-inspired spirit.
Inside the case, Breitling has equipped the Chronomat B01 42 NFL Team Editions with the in-house Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, known for its supreme accuracy and 70-hour power reserve. Certified by the COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres), it’s a movement that meets the rigorous standards necessary for the most discerning watch enthusiasts. The chronograph function features three registers and a date window at 6 o’clock, offering both style and practicality. Luminescent Super-LumiNova® hands ensure you can keep track of the time even under the stadium’s bright lights—or well into the after-party.
As if these meticulous details weren’t enough to spark excitement, each watch arrives with a five-year warranty, underscoring Breitling’s commitment to enduring quality. And with only 104 units available for each team, the Chronomat B01 42 NFL Team Editions serve as genuine collector’s pieces bound to thrill die-hard fans and connoisseurs of fine watchmaking in equal measure. Whether you’re cheering from the sidelines or looking for a refined daily accessory, you can sport your team’s colours with a level of sophistication worthy of the NFL’s monumental legacy.
