IWC Squadron Watches
At the time, I could see IWC releasing these but who really bought one? I don't think I have seen one on someone's wrist. www.iwc.com
No, No and No
I'll pass, but thank you anyway Breitling. I'll show support to my team with the tattoo on my forehead.
The hulk is my Eagles 🦅 watch.
But have to admit this is kind of cool. Surprised the cowgirls watch isn’t brown…😎 (is football trash talk allowed here or is this getting removed?).
Not for me
Surprising. Maybe a sign of the times during the downturn in the industry?
I thought there was a new CEO since a couple of years?
I remember the CEO or someone high up from product design posting on Hodinkee, even replying to honest/harsh replies. These watches are gaudy and uninspiring. It's really easy though. Look in your back catalogue, pick 4 vintage designs each year and bring...
In Isolation it wouldn't make sense but I got into American Football in 2016 and did a deep dive into its history and the game
How Football (Soccer) or Tennis or F1 or Cricket is big in some countries American Football is a way of life, a passion, a religion and has a strong association with the Armed Forces so there is a lot of regional and National Pride involved, it is an Amaz...

the US is a Big Country :-)
In my personal experience Breitling is very popular with Mid Income Consumers, Rolex more for Upper Middle Income and Patek High Income, so maybe you live and work in a fancier part of town S
Funny, my gut reaction was…
…yes, seems silly to us, BUT like Salman this is the USA and Breitling is a thing in the USA. Purely anecdotal but I do cross paths quite often with folks that have Breitlings on their wrists. Also, this wasn’t a big lift for them. Brands give us the run ...
So some marketing wonk can write stuff like "a broad array of team-accurate colorways atop one of the brand’s most distinctive and versatile sports watch platforms"
"... the limited edition Breitling Chronomat NFL Collection offers American football superfans perhaps the most stylish pieces of game-day wear ever created." urghk My least favorite, and the most pretentious word is colorways -- I thought Hodinkee had it...
I may be the only dufus here…
But, I think that these are pretty cool…would I buy one? No, but, I love the color combos and the logos are pretty small…would be a fun watch to have.
