Chronomat Giannis Antetokounmpo: Breitling’s Slam Dunk Collaboration with Basketball Superstar
The Swiss luxury watchmaker has teamed up with professional basketball star Giannis Antetokounmpo to launch the co-designed Chronomat Giannis Antetokounmpo limited edition watch, which reflects the athlete’s unstoppable energy and inspiring journey from the street courts of Athens to the pinnacle of the NBA. replica Breitling Chronomat B01 42
“Giannis has an incredible personal style and sense of self, and we knew we had to capture that in a watch,” said Breitling CEO Georges Cohen. “So, our longtime ambassador became our collaborator, bringing not only his aesthetic to the project, but also his indomitable spirit.”
The Chronomat Giannis Antetokounmpo watch is bold and impactful, reflecting that spirit as much as the 6-foot-11 Milwaukee Bucks power forward himself. His signature watch is available in two versions: the 40mm steel Chronomat GMT and the 42mm gold Chronomat B01 chronograph.
Antetokounmpo’s personality shines through in the details, from the “GA” initials on the central hand to the basketball emblem subtly integrated into the counters to the dial color, which evokes the turf green of his team, with which he won championships and established legendary status. Both luxury replica watches are limited editions—1,750 pieces for the GMT and 250 for the Chronograph.
Other notable details include Antetokounmpo’s signature on the caseback of the GMT, while the Chronograph (available with a choice of a green rubber Rouleaux strap or 18k red gold bracelet) sees the Breitling Manufacture 01 movement and its gold rotor. All come packaged in a special Giannis Antetokounmpo edition package with a note from the “Greek Freak” himself.
“There’s a video of the moment I opened this chronograph for the first time,” Antetokounmpo said. “My face says it all; I was stunned to see it come to life. I’m so grateful to Breitling for the opportunity to design these watches and to everyone who takes one home. My heart goes into this.”
In honor of the king of the court, Breitling created a “One of One” Chronomat B01 for Antetokounmpo. Featuring gold Arabic numerals, a white inner bezel, and white counters that contrast against a green dial, this unique timepiece pays homage to his team and celebrates his extraordinary journey from stateless Greek youth to NBA icon—a story that is the subject of the 2022 film Rising and the 2024 documentary Fantastic Journey. While you may only get a glimpse of this custom watch courtside, you can find images in this press release.replica Grand Seiko Elegance
In addition to the launch of the Giannis Antetokounmpo Signature Edition and a pair of just-released Chronomat B01 Triumph Editions (check out that collaboration here), Breitling’s core Chronomat B01 42 collection has also been upgraded with a series of new additions.
Say hello to the Rouleaux-style rubber strap. This popular strap style is first introduced in the Chronomat B01 collection, offering hardwearing, water-resistant, and streamlined looks. It is a sporty alternative to the classic metal Rouleaux bracelet and also comes with an ultra-comfortable butterfly folding clasp. high quality watches replica
The Chronomat B01’s color palette is further expanded with the introduction of a new green colorway, a verdant hue that breathes new life into the collection’s stainless steel, two-tone, and 18k red gold models.
For those who prefer the light wrist feel of titanium, Breitling introduces the Chronomat B01 42 and Super Chronomat B01 44, a lightweight metal that offers exceptional strength to enhance the wearer’s experience without sacrificing Chronomat’s signature ruggedness.
But rest assured, all of the classic features that define a Chronomat are intact. The iconic “onion” crown, a nod to the collection’s aviation roots, is easy to grip and has a hint of vintage flair. The iconic bezel scale still adorns the bezel, and the wearer can switch between the 15-minute and 45-minute marks for countdown or timing. Franck Muller replica watches
Breitling’s Chronomat has always been more than a chronograph, it’s a trailblazer. Born in an era when slim quartz watches were the norm, this watch boldly defied the trend with its impressive mechanical robustness. Introduced in 1983 as the official watch of the famous Italian flying demonstration team (Frecce Tricolori), the Chronomat only became widely available a year later. The introduction of this watch helped re-establish the mechanical chronograph as a key element in an era dominated by quartz watches.
With the Chronomat Giannis Antetokounmpo Special Edition and the redesigned Chronomat B01 collection, Breitling once again won praise from watch enthusiasts around the world, blending a new-school narrative with the tradition of precision and style. replica Jacob Co Bugatti Chiron Watches
