Breitling X Victoria Beckham, where fashion marries function

Breitling’s one of the most versatile collections, Chronomat gets a revamp as the brand collaborated with the celebrated fashion designer and singer, Victoria Beckham, for the new limited-edition Chronomat 36 Victoria Beckham collection. Co-designed by the artist, the new collection takes its inspiration from Beckham's Spring/Summer 2024 palette, with peppermint, midnight blue, dove grey, and sand hues. While, few features like the metal rouleaux bracelet and raised rider tabs at the 15-minute mark remain intact.

On the partnership, Georges Kern, CEO, Breitling, says “The Chronomat is already a versatile watch with a classic form, with Victoria Beckham’s signature style, this collection is a modern, radiant expression of that timepiece.” And for the same, “It has been wonderful watching Breitling’s craftsmanship and innovation come together with my ideas to create something so elegant and fresh,” Beckham added.

There are six new references in the Chronomat 36 Victoria Beckham collection, of which three are crafted in stainless steel and three are made with 18K yellow gold. Measuring 36mm in diameter, the watch features a unidirectional ratchet bezel and dial that come in colourful hues like midnight blue (Ref. A103801A1C1A1 and Ref. K103801A1C1K1), peppermint (Ref. K103801A1L1K1 and Ref. A103801A1L1A1), dove (Ref. A103801A1G1A1), and sand (Ref. K103801A1A1K1).
