Breitling Inks Licensing Deal with the NFL
The Swiss watchmaker has created limited-edition timepieces for all 32 National Football League teams.
Breitling now has a licensing agreement with the NFL, creating watches for each of the league’s 32 teams that incorporate their colors and logos. Pictured here are the watches for the four teams in the AFC North division. Clockwise from top left, they are the Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers, Cincinnati Bengals, and Cleveland Browns.
New York—Breitling kicked off a new partnership earlier this month, a long-term licensing agreement to create team-specific watches for the NFL.
Breitling said the collaboration is the first and only of its kind between a Swiss watchmaker and the NFL, widely considered to be the most popular sports league in North America.
The model used for Breitling’s NFL watches is the Chronomat B01 42, a 42 mm timepiece powered by the in-house Calibre 01, a COSC-certified chronometer movement with a power reserve of about 70 hours and a five-year warranty.
Like all Chronomat models, the Breitling NFL watches are water-resistant to 200 meters and feature luminescent Super-LumiNova hands, raised rider tabs at the 15-minute marks, and a triple-register dial with integrated date at 6 o’clock.
The case is stainless steel, as is the rouleaux bracelet.

A closeup of the Breitling Chronomat created for one of the NFL’s most popular teams, the Pittsburgh Steelers. The dial is black and the hands are yellow, a reflection of the Steelers’ colors, while the team’s hypocycloid logo can be seen in the subdial at 9 o’clock.
The watch for the Kansas City Chiefs, the team that won the Super Bowl last season, has a red dial and yellow hands. The watches in the Breitling Chronomat NFL Collection are available with stainless steel bracelets or rubber straps, as seen here.
Breitling made a model for each NFL team but, in true Breitling style, the incorporation of each team’s aesthetic is subtle; one would not necessarily know it was an NFL watch at first glance.
The dial, second hand, and subdial hands reflect the team’s official colors—for example, black and gold for the Pittsburgh Steelers, as seen above—while a small version of the team’s logo is displayed in the 9 o’clock subdial.
Breitling is only making 104 of each team’s watch, a nod to the NFL’s 104th anniversary this year, so the words “One of 104” are engraved on the caseback, along with the NFL logo.
The watches retail for $9,200 on a stainless steel bracelet or $8,800 on a rubber strap.
While the partnership between the NFL, a quintessentially American enterprise, and a Swiss luxury watchmaker is novel, this is not Breitling’s first foray into the world of American football.
The company said retired NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason, who played in the league for 14 seasons, primarily with the Cincinnati Bengals, has been one of its brand ambassadors for more than 30 years.
In 2022, Breitling added another QB to its roster, signing Jacksonville Jaguars signal-caller Trevor Lawrence, and it created a limited-edition Chronomat for last year’s Super Bowl, Super Bowl LVIII.
Breitling’s NFL watches are being sold at Breitling boutiques, authorized retailers, and online at Breitling.com.
