Aston Martin Aramco and Breitling bring precision timing back to the Formula One stage
Aston Martin Aramco has entered a new multi-year partnership with Breitling, uniting British performance, Swiss chronograph heritage and the split-second demands of modern Formula One. The collaboration arrives with visible branding on the AMR26 era and a headline release that instantly gives the partnership substance: the limited-edition Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team.
A shared language of performance
Breitling joins Aston Martin and Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team as Official Watch Partner, linking the brand’s expertise in precision timekeeping with Aston Martin’s road-car elegance and Formula One ambition.
Branding that reaches the AMR26
The collaboration is not a quiet licensing exercise. Breitling’s logo is set to be visible on the car and team apparel from the 2026 season launch, placing the watchmaker directly inside Aston Martin Aramco’s new competitive chapter.
A launch watch with real weight
The first co-branded release matters most: the Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team, a limited series that turns the partnership into a tangible collector’s piece rather than a simple logo exercise.
The pillars of the Aston Martin × Breitling partnership
What makes this collaboration compelling is not just the name pairing, but the way it connects design, motorsport visibility and a genuinely distinctive launch product in one coherent story.
Officially announced as a global multi-year partnership, the agreement gives both brands room to build a broader narrative across Formula One, Aston Martin road cars and future co-branded releases.
The logo’s appearance on the car and team apparel gives the deal immediate credibility. It places Breitling within Aston Martin Aramco’s 2026 identity, rather than treating the partnership as a detached hospitality or lifestyle association.
Limited to 1,959 pieces, the new Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 uses a titanium case, carbon-fibre dial, Aston Martin Racing Green and lime accents, and Breitling’s Manufacture Caliber 01 to turn team identity into a serious horological statement.
Why this launch stands apart
Many motorsport partnerships begin with a press release. The stronger ones also arrive with product, placement and a design language that makes the collaboration feel specific rather than generic.
In many cases, a brand arrives on the car before fans are given anything meaningful to connect with. The result can feel corporate, temporary and easily forgotten.
This partnership lands with a clear visual presence on the AMR26 programme and a limited-edition watch that immediately gives collectors and enthusiasts something concrete to talk about.
The watch is the anchor. It transforms the announcement from a branding exercise into a product-led launch with materials, movement and details that echo the team’s world.

A brief timeline of the launch
From announcement to on-car visibility and product release, the Aston Martin Aramco × Breitling story has been introduced as a full campaign rather than a single headline.
The smartest partnerships in motorsport do more than place a logo on a racing car. They create an object people remember — and this Navitimer is exactly that object.
