Breitling and NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo join forces in an exciting collaboration that marks a double triumph: the launch of a limited-edition Chronomat collection and new additions to the Chronomat B01 42 series. Together, they unveil the Chronomat Giannis Antetokounmpo, a series of exclusive timepieces that embody the athlete's dynamic energy and remarkable journey from Athens street courts to NBA stardom.
Georges Kern, CEO of Breitling, explains, “Giannis possesses an extraordinary personal style and presence that we were determined to capture in a watch. As our longstanding brand ambassador, he became a collaborator, infusing his aesthetic and unwavering spirit into the project.” The Chronomat Giannis Antetokounmpo reflects this spirit with designs as bold and impactful as the 6'11” Milwaukee Bucks power forward himself. The collection includes two distinctive models: a 40-mm steel Chronomat GMT and a 42-mm gold Chronomat B01 chronograph.
Antetokounmpo's distinct personality shines through in every detail of the timepieces, featuring his “GA” initials prominently on the central hand and a basketball emblem subtly integrated into the chronograph counter. The dial's shade evokes the vibrant “good-land green” associated with his team, where he achieved legendary status by clinching a championship win. Both watches are exclusive limited editions, with 1750 pieces of the GMT and 250 pieces of the chronograph available.
Additional standout features include Antetokounmpo's signature on the GMT's caseback. The chronograph offers customization with a choice of a green rubber Rouleaux strap or an 18k red gold bracelet, revealing the inner workings of the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01 movement through its transparent caseback adorned with a golden rotor. Each timepiece is presented in special-edition packaging designed in collaboration with Giannis Antetokounmpo, accompanied by a personal note from the “Greek Freak” himself.
