After the release of the Breitling Endurance Pro IRONMAN watches in 2021, now Breitling releases two new limited-edition IRONMAN-branded versions of Breitling’s ultralight sports watch to celebrate the 2023 IRONMAN World Championship and IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship triathlon events. Limited to 250 pieces each, they’re only available at Breitling.com, from select Breitling boutiques and retailers, and at the Official IRONMAN Merchandise Store at the race location.
Considered one of the toughest and most rewarding sporting events in the world, the IRONMAN triathlon begins long before the starting shot sounds. Since 2021, Breitling has teamed up with IRONMAN as its official luxury watch partner to recognize this incredible personal achievement and the grueling months—or years—of training that goes into it.
Georges Kern, CEO of Breitling says: “The Endurance Pro IRONMAN range was designed to stand up to the toughest challenges. It’s the result of our brands’ shared spirit of performance and precision. Completing the IRONMAN is the dream of a lifetime for so many people; it deserves an extraordinary way to be remembered.”
The two 44 mm new limited-edition Breitling IRONMAN models are each presented in its race’s distinct color scheme with an IRONMAN-branded rubber strap and the competition logo at 6 o’clock. First, the Endurance Pro IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship is in turquoise with an ultra-light Breitlight case and turquoise accents throughout the watch. Limited to 250 pieces, it marks the competition in Lahti, Finland, from August 26 to 27, 2023. Breitlight is a material almost six times lighter than stainless steel and it is also thermally stable —with a touch that’s warmer than metal— while being scratch-resistant, non-magnetic, and hypo-allergenic.
Then there’s the special-edition Endurance Pro IRONMAN World Championship in blue cased in high-performance titanium. This model, which is also limited to 250 pieces, recognizes the men’s competition in Nice, France, on September 10, 2023, and the women’s competition in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, on October 14, 2023.
The ultra-lightweight Endurance Pro IRONMAN watches were developed for elite triathletes but work just as well as a stylish sports chronograph for everyday wear.
With its rubber strap and 100-meter water resistance, the Endurance Pro watches perform just as well in water as they do on land. Both watches are powered by Breitling’s Caliber 82, a COSC-certified SuperQuartz movement that provides exceptional accuracy. Combine that with its easy readability, timekeeping chronograph function, and solar compass, and you have a powerful motivator for crossing the finish line.
The Breitling Endurance Pro IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship Breitlight features an anthracite dial with a turquoise inner bezel with a pulsometer scale, black chronograph counters, and IRONMAN logo at 6 o’clock
super-LumiNova luminescent numerals, hour and minute hands, and is completed by a turquoise IRONMAN rubber strap with a Breitlight double tang-type buckle.
Meanwhile, the Breitling Endurance Pro IRONMAN World Championship Titanium features an anthracite dial with a blue inner bezel with a pulsometer scale, black chronograph counters, and IRONMAN logo at 6 o’clock, super-LumiNova luminescent numerals, hour and minute hands, and is completed by a blue IRONMAN rubber strap with a Breitlight double tang-type buckle. Both watches feature bidirectional bezels with compass scales.
Sticker Price $3,600 USD for Breitlight and $3,950 USD for titanium. For more info on Breitling click here.
