Breitling Becomes New Sponsor of Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team

On 6 February 2026, Breitling announced a multi year sponsorship agreement with Aston Martin and the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team. The partnership places the Swiss watchmaker firmly within the competitive landscape of Formula One sponsorship, an arena already populated by several established horological names.

From 9 February, the Breitling logo will appear on the Aston Martin Aramco car, on team apparel and trackside branding. The collaboration will be visible during the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, scheduled for 6 to 8 March.

A Limited Edition Navitimer

To mark the new partnership, Breitling has introduced the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team. The model is issued in a limited series of 1,959 pieces, referencing the year Aston Martin made its debut in Formula One.

That inaugural season saw drivers such as Graham Hill and Jim Clark compete for Aston Martin, both of whom were associated with Breitling Navitimer watches during their racing careers.

Materials and Design

For the first time within the Navitimer collection, the watch features a titanium case. It is paired with a carbon fibre dial, a deliberate nod to materials widely used in modern motorsport.

Green accents reference Aston Martin Racing Green, while touches of lime yellow draw inspiration from the current Aston Martin Aramco livery. The textured leather strap evokes the look of racing harnesses, reinforcing the automotive theme.

Calibre Breitling 01

The sapphire caseback reveals the in house Breitling 01 movement. This automatic chronograph calibre is COSC certified and offers a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. In this edition, it is fitted with a tungsten rotor treated with PVD coating and engraved with the Aston Martin Formula One Team logo. The caseback is further engraved with “One of 1959” and “Instruments for Drivers”.

Financial details of the sponsorship have not been disclosed. Breitling assumes the role previously held by Girard Perregaux as Aston Martin’s watch partner in Formula One.

As part of the agreement, team drivers Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso will wear Breitling watches during official engagements, in accordance with safety regulations that prohibit watches and jewellery during races and practice sessions.

The Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team is priced at approximately USD 11,500.
