Breitling and IRONMAN have entered into a long-term partnership to co-design a special series of Breitling's ultimate athleisure watches: the Endurance Pro IRONMAN. The result is a lightweight, agile luxury sports watch that combines high precision, innovative technology, and a vibrant, colorful design. Two exciting new models have been unveiled: a red version aimed at sports and timekeeping enthusiasts and available globally in Breitling boutiques, authorized retailers, and on www.breitling.com; and a black and gold version exclusively for athletes who complete IRONMAN® races. Additional models for the IRONMAN community will be unveiled in the coming months.

A special event celebrating the partnership and the debut of the new watch was held last night at the Breitling boutique in Beverly Hills, hosted by Breitling USA President Thierry Prissert and Ironman Group President and CEO Andrew Messick. Special guests in attendance included Ironman Hall of Fame inductee and 1997 Ironman World Champion Heather Farr; Ironman ambassador and the first person with Down syndrome to complete an Ironman race, Krisnik; Ironman Hall of Fame inductee and Voice of Ironman Mike Reilly; and professional Ironman triathlete Ben Hoffman, who celebrated the new watch and Breitling's recent partnership as a local ambassador for the United States.

This high-tech material, exclusive to Breitling, is highly resistant to scratches, abrasion, and corrosion. It is also heat-stable, non-magnetic, hypoallergenic, and warmer to the touch than metal. Powering this model is the Breitling Caliber 82, a temperature-compensated SuperQuartz™ movement, a COSC-certified chronometer. It is 10 times more accurate than standard quartz and has a battery life of approximately three to four years.
