Six Nations Rugby kicked off last weekend, and the tournament’s official timing partner, Breitling, used the occasion to introduce a collection of Chronomat sports watches; one for each of the competing nations: England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France and Italy.
The 42mm steel-on-steel watches use the latest Chronomat design characteristics including raised tabs at the 15-minute marks on the steel bezels, large onion-shaped crown and three subdials and date on the dial.
Visible through an exhibition case back is the COSC-certified Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01.
They adopt the home team colours of each team, and have their national logos in the subdial at 9 o’clock.
Along with the Chronomat collection, Breitling also introduced a new group of brand ambassadors, the Rugby Squad, including George North for Wales, Conor Murray for Ireland, England’s Kyle Sinckler, France’s Gaël Fickou and Italy’s Paolo Garbisi.
Scotland, which got off to a winning start against England at Twickenham at the weekend, has two squad members: Hamish Watson and Stuart Hogg.
