Breitling Middle East has announced the launch of two Special Edition watches, exclusively for the UAE market, in partnership with longstanding retail partner Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons. Breitling’s Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 will be presented in two new special designs, which proudly showcase Indian numerals on the dial.
The Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 is Breitling’s tribute to travel, not only for its dual time zone display, but also because of its easygoing aesthetics and practical size. As an all-purpose sports watch, the Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 can cross over between Breitling’s air, land and sea universes, and appeal to anyone as a “watch for every pursuit”.
Managing Director, Breitling Middle East, India and Africa, Aed Adwan commented: “We chose to develop two watches from the all-purpose Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 in a special series exclusively for the dynamic and diverse UAE market. To celebrate the UAE’s world-class cities, we designed an Abu Dhabi Mean Time (ADMT) version in ice blue that pays tribute to the capital city Abu Dhabi and a Dubai Mean Time (DMT) version in bright blue that pays tribute to the city of Dubai.”
“We are delighted to announce the two special edition watches exclusively for the UAE created in partnership with Breitling. The two new timepieces feature a unique aesthetic and provide practical and purposeful functionality. We look forward to our continued partnership with Breitling and are certain the timepieces will appeal to audiences in the UAE,” Mohammed Abdulmagied Seddiqi, Chief Commercial Officer, Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons.
The Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 ADMT Special Edition is designed with an ice blue dial with a satin sunray finish, while the Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 DMT Special Edition features a bright blue dial. Both special editions feature 18 k red gold plated large Indian numerals on the dial as well as 18 k red gold-plated hour and minute hands coated with Super-LumiNova®, whose luminescence makes them easy to read wherever your adventures might take you. The Breitling Caliber 32 powers the GMT complication. Its 24-hour scale lets the user track a second time zone and know at a glance whether it’s day or night, while the “onion” crown (a classic Chronomat feature named for its fluted-dome shape) allows for easy adjustments. Presented on an all-steel case, these two COSC-certified chronometers have an impressive 200m water resistance and a power reserve of approximately 42 hours.
The Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 ADMT and DMT Special Editions will be showcased at Dubai Watch Week, one of the region’s biggest horological events organized by Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons starting from November 16th, 2023.
