BREITLING CHRONOMAT B01 42 TRIUMPH What happens when two legends of speed and precision join forces? You get a collaboration that’s as exhilarating as a twist of the throttle on an open road— meet the Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR Breitling Limited Edition and its horological soulmate, the Breitling Chronomat B01 42 Triumph. Triumph Motorcycles and Swiss watchmaking powerhouse Breitling both know a thing or two about making hearts race, and with this collaboration fans have the chance to own a machine, a matching timepiece—and crucially, it’s about owning a story. Starting with the machine that goes between the legs, the Speed Triple 1200 RR Breitling Limited Edition is a rolling work of art. A bespoke paint job, a luxurious leather seat stitched with French finesse, and a high-spec Akrapovič silencer all sing a symphony of style and power. Add in ultra-light carbon fibre parts, a custom Breitling start screen, and the Breitling logo laser-etched onto the rear wheel finisher, and you’ve got a machine that’s as much about the details as it is about the drive. For the machine on the wrist, the Chronomat B01 42 Triumph is a timepiece that’s every bit as thrilling as the bike. Crafted from titanium and 18k red gold, with an anthracite dial that echoes the bike’s moody hues and golden details that nod to those class-leading Öhlins forks, this watch is a statement of intent. The perforated brown leather strap is a tactile tribute to the open road, while the in-house B01 chronograph movement delivers the kind of mechanical prowess that made the Chronomat a legend when it first bucked the quartz trend in 1983. “Teaming up with Breitling, we’ve united two worlds, delivering our shared passions for precision, speed, and impeccable style,” said Triumph CEO Nick Bloor. Breitling CEO Georges Kern added, “With Triumph, we share a rug- ged spirit that combines artistry with adventure.” Simply Abu Dhabi | 215
