Update: Discover the New for 2020 Breitling Red Arrows Limited Edition Watch
This year, a true aviation legend celebrates 50 seasons of excellence. The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, more colloquially known as the Red Arrows, is the icon in question, and Swiss horological brand Breitling have been swift to join in with the forthcoming celebrations. Frequently referred to as the ‘official supplier to the world of aviation’, Breitling first collaborated with the RAF in the 1930s, but the high performance exploits of The Red Arrows have always been especially inspiring to them. Breitling have faithfully supported the efforts of the Red Arrows over many years, since the early 1990s in fact, but now they have presented each and every member of this elite flying squadron with a special limited edition Transocean Chronograph.
Although you might have expected the Breitling Navitimer to serve as the basis for this timepiece, given its status as the official watch of the Airline Owners and Pilots Association, it is the Breitling Transocean that has attained this singular honour. Reinterpreting the classical aesthetics of bygone chronographs by introducing a daring flavour of contemporary style, the Transocean range relies upon a formidably designed engine (namely the Breitling Caliber 01 movement) that is just as impressive as the device that lies at the heart of a Red Arrows Hawk jet, and so its association with this aviation team is certainly apt, to say the least.
presented alongside an exclusive book that features the work of famed modern aviation artist David Bent. The Red Arrows Team have been wearing Breitling chronographs when in action for more than two decades, drawn by their precision and timing, but the availability of this brand new 50th anniversary chronograph is going to be strictly limited; a fact which may frustrate some.
Only Breitling boutiques and selected independent stockists will have access to this extraordinary watch, and we’re delighted to announce that Banks Lyon has been named among these privileged few. The Breitling Transocean Red Arrows 50th Anniversary Chronograph will be going on sale in the near future, and this powerful and attractive Blacksteel timepiece is guaranteed to be in great demand. To say that this timepiece will be destined to become a collector’s piece is to utter a grave understatement, so you’d be well advised to move quickly if you harbour an interest in this unique limited edition.
