Breitling is officially back on the Formula 1 racetrack. The Swiss watchmaker has announced a global, multi-year partnership with Aston Martin and the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team, uniting two brands whose histories have long been shaped by speed, performance, and precision engineering. The collaboration spans the entire Aston Martin universe, from its handcrafted high-performance road cars to its cutting-edge Formula 1 program, and debuts with a new limited-edition chronograph: the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team.

The launch signals a significant moment for Breitling, reconnecting the Navitimer with motorsport after decades of aviation-led identity. Limited to 1,959 pieces in reference to Aston Martin’s first Formula 1 season, the legendary pilot's chronograph translates the visual codes and materials of modern F1 into one of Breitling’s most iconic designs. A lightweight titanium case, used for the first time in a Navitimer, is paired with a carbon-fiber dial accented in Aston Martin Racing Green and lime tones drawn from the team’s current livery. Details such as the racing-harness-inspired leather strap and enhanced nighttime legibility underline the watch’s functional, performance-driven intent. Measuring 43mm in diameter and 13.69mm in thickness, the watch offers a water-resistance of 100 meters.

This COSC-certified chronometer movement features a column-wheel chronograph, vertical clutch, and approximately 70 hours of power reserve.
