NBA player and close friend of the brand Giannis Antetokounmpo has joined with Breitling to offer a limited-edition line and new Chronomat B01 42 variants. Through this collaboration, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Chronomat is shown, showcasing Antetokounmpo’s unique style and trajectory.
A 40-mm steel Chronomat GMT and a 42-mm gold Chronomat B01 chronograph, both of which reflect Antetokounmpo’s dynamic personality with distinctive accents and team colours, are two more standout pieces in the line.

The “GA” initials, a basketball logo, and green colours that are evocative of the Milwaukee Bucks’ uniform set apart the Chronomat Giannis Antetokounmpo models. The GMT model has the signature of Antetokounmpo on the caseback, and the Breitling Manufacture Calibre 01 movement with a view of its golden rotor is displayed on the chronograph.
Breitling produced a customised “One of One” Chronomat B01 for Antetokounmpo with white inner bezel, green dial with white chronograph counters, and golden numerals as a way to commemorate the partnership. This piece honours his incredible journey from a young, stateless person in Greece to an NBA legend.

Apart from these limited editions, Breitling also adds new colorways to the Chronomat B01 42 collection, including a lush green hue, and debuts the first rubber strap inspired by Rouleaux, which is both wearable and water resistant. Titanium variants have also been added to the range, offering a lighter feel without sacrificing durability. These timepieces, which are limited to 250 chronographs and 1750 GMT, also include a letter from Antetokounmpo himself and special-edition packaging.
Breitling CEO Georges Kern states, “We knew we had to capture Giannis’s incredible personal style and sense of self in a timepiece.” Thus, “our longstanding ambassador became a collaborator who brought his indomitable spirit and his aesthetic to the project.”
