For its second season as Official Timekeeper of the Six Nations Rugby Tournament, Breitling has unveiled its Six Nations Chronomat, six very limited editions of 150, each priced at €8,800.

One per country, of course: England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, France and Italy.

"As Breitling's versatile and limitless sports watch, the Chronomat Six Nations is the ideal companion for the fast and fearless world of rugby,"

explains Georges Kern, CEO of Breitling.

Six very limited editions for rugby fans.

On a traditional Rouleaux bracelet, these steel Chronomats with a diameter of 42 mm feature the raised riders at the 15-minute markers characteristic of the model and an “onion” type crown offering easy grip.

Their three-register dial is equipped with a calendar with an integrated date window at six o'clock.

These limited editions are all powered by a Manufacture Breitling Caliber 01, COSC-certified and endowed with approximately 70 hours of power reserve.

Each model is differentiated by a dial bearing the colors of each team, whose coat of arms is also visible in the sub-dial at nine o'clock and on the sapphire crystal caseback.

Each case back is specially engraved with the name of the union, “Six Nations”, and the indication of the limited number of copies “One of 150”.

The Chronomat was initially designed as the official watch of the Frecce Tricolori, the famous acrobatic patrol of the Italian Military Aeronautics.

Popular with aviators, the Chronomat's tachymeter attracted the interest of Formula 1 teams in the 1980s and 1990s. Its reversible riders, which offer count-up or count-down functions, also made it ideal for diving and regattas.

It has thus become Breitling's most versatile sports watch.
