Breitling has teamed up with NBA superstar and dear friend of the brand Giannis Antetokounmpo to launch a limited-edition collection and new executions of the Chronomat B01 42. This collaboration introduces the Chronomat Giannis Antetokounmpo, focusing on Antetokounmpo’s personal style and journey. The collection also features two standout pieces: a 40-mm steel Chronomat GMT and a 42-mm gold Chronomat B01 chronograph, each reflecting Antetokounmpo’s dynamic personality with unique details and team colors.
The Chronomat Giannis Antetokounmpo models are distinguished by their design elements, including “GA” initials, a basketball emblem, and shades reminiscent of the Milwaukee Bucks’ green. The GMT model features Antetokounmpo’s signature on the caseback, while the chronograph showcases the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01 movement with a view of its golden rotor.
To honor the collaboration, Breitling created an exclusive “One of One” Chronomat B01 for Antetokounmpo, featuring golden numerals, a white inner bezel, and a green dial with white chronograph counters. This piece celebrates his remarkable rise from a stateless youth in Greece to an NBA icon.
In addition to these special editions, Breitling expands the Chronomat B01 42 lineup with new colorways, including a verdant green shade, and introduces the first Rouleaux-inspired rubber strap, offering wearability and water resistance. The collection also sees the addition of titanium models for a lighter feel without compromising robustness. Limited to 1750 GMT and 250 chronographs, these timepieces also come with special-edition packaging and a note from Antetokounmpo himself.
“Giannis has an incredible personal style and sense of self that we knew we had to capture in a timepiece,” says Georges Kern, CEO of Breitling. “And so, our longstanding ambassador became a collaborator who not only brought his aesthetic to the project, but also his indominable spirit.”
