Breitling Reaffirms its Partnership with the Breitling Jet Team

Breitling has supported the internationally acclaimed Breitling Jet Team since 2003, with the partnership alongside the aerial aerobatic specialists being an important expression of Breitling’s century-old association with flight.

When Léon Breitling built his first chronographs at the end of the 19th century, aviation was very much in its infancy, and significantly, the watchmaker’s own evolution and its veritable explosion of innovations mirrored that of the age’s intrepid visionaries and their dreams of flying. Within a couple of generations, aviation had come of age and Breitling, which had firmly established itself as a maker of sturdy precision timepieces, became the chronograph of choice for pilots around the world.

In the 1930s, Breitling introduced onboard chronographs intended for aircraft cockpits, and their popularity among aviators made them an obvious choice for military pilots. In 1952, Breitling launched its Navitimer wrist chronograph, which has been a favorite among aviation enthusiasts ever since.

Today, the brand’s long-established ties to aviation are spectacularly represented by its partnership with the Breitling Jet Team, whose breathtaking aerobatics have dazzled and delighted hundreds of thousands of fans around the world.

There is no doubt in the mind of Georges Kern, Breitling’s CEO since August of 2017, about the significance of the Jet Team to his brand. He says that the unique aerobatics team perfectly reflects the watchmaker’s legacy and its values. “We and the Breitling Jet Team are characterized by some striking synergies, notably technological achievement and mastery, aesthetic sophistication and human excellence. They are arguably the face of Breitling’s aviation heritage.”

The Dijon, France-based Breitling Jet Team has taken its aerial performances to distant international skies in recent years, dazzling audiences as far as Asia and North America. At airshows and in public demonstrations, the pilots of seven L-39C Albatros jet aircraft fly in close formation – often less than three meters apart – at speeds of 700 km/h (435 mph).

While Breitling is proud of its long, colourful history with aviation, the brand also creates dive and nautical timepieces, renowned for the design, precision, and performance of its watches. As Georges Kern says, “Breitling has proven itself as a partner in aviation for nearly a hundred years. But we’re looking forward to showing the world that the sky is definitely not the limit!”
