Her detailed photo essay highlights key references that shaped collector discussions.
The Aston Martin DB5, reference 959, is a special edition timepiece created in partnership with Breitling, serving as the official watch partner for Aston Martin and the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team. This collaboration marks Breitling's re-entry into Formula 1®, connecting the worlds of high-performance automotive engineering and precision horology. The reference is part of a broader initiative to celebrate the shared values of speed measurement and mastery between the two brands.
This particular reference is distinguished by its association with the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team, indicating a robust chronograph movement. The case is typically crafted to a substantial diameter, reflecting a contemporary sport watch aesthetic. It features a sapphire crystal for durability and clarity, protecting a dial designed to reflect the partnership's branding.
This timepiece appeals to collectors interested in automotive-themed watches and brand collaborations, particularly those with an affinity for Aston Martin's heritage and its involvement in Formula 1. It represents a specific moment in the partnership between Breitling and Aston Martin, offering a tangible link to both the luxury car manufacturer and its racing division. Variants within this collaboration often feature distinct dial treatments and case finishes.
some cool looking pieces in that lineup.
that's the immediate future of the brand. A return to the...sea...LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
but even if the new CEO is really into the return to the....sea, I'm sure there will be some "orthodox" models unveiled at some point in time
Looks cool. Like these new offerings but 47 is a bit too much for my arms...
saves my wallet from worrying then...
Hopefully they won't come out until the 2nd half of the year! My wallet is currently regenerating
