Breitling proves again its dedication to the sport of triathlon with the introduction of Endurance Pro IRONMAN World Championship 2025 edition and the Endurance Pro IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship 2025 edition. These watches are a salute to the discipline, ambition, and resolve of triathletes, crafted to commemorate the signature races in Nice, Kailua-Kona and Marbella. Rooted in a narrative that celebrates human endurance and technical innovation, each edition is defined by materials, colours and details unique to its event location.
The IRONMAN World Championship edition, housed in titanium, is fronted by a dial that melds aesthetics and symbolism. Its titanium grey base is accentuated with blue and light blue on the inner bezel. Functional elements meet artistry in the pulsometer scale and black chronograph counters, all anchored by the distinctive IRONMAN logo at 6 o’clock—a design inspired by the eagle and turtle, evocative of both Nice and Hawaii, representing the tenacity of IRONMAN athletes.
For Marbella’s IRONMAN 70.3, the dial transforms. Here, turquoise reigns, interspersed with touches of orange that draw from Andalusian motifs. At 6 o’clock, the event’s singular logo conjures images of arched doors and decorative tile and is framed by references to nature, capturing the spirit of southern Spain. Both dials boast Super-LumiNova® luminescent numerals and hands, ensuring visibility in any environment, from the swim start to the finish line celebrations.
Nestled within each case, Breitling’s Caliber 82, a thermocompensated SuperQuartz™, powers both models. This movement, 30mm in diameter and 5.12mm deep, harnesses cutting-edge quartz technology, rendering accuracy that eclipses conventional quartz calibres. COSC certification assures precision under the most demanding conditions. The chronograph layout enables 1/10th second and 30-minute timing functions, with hour, minute, second and date displayed for everyday utility. Endurance persists with a battery life of approximately two years, promising reliability whether tracking intervals or keeping pace with the daily routine.
The IRONMAN World Championship edition relies on titanium for its 44mm case. Distinguished by a 12.5mm thickness and a 52.49mm lug-to-lug height, the titanium construction reduces weight by 43% versus steel and offers superb resilience. Flat sapphire crystal, glare proof both sides, maintains clarity in sunlight or poolside reflection. Water resistance achieves a depth of 100m, supported by a solid, screw-fixed caseback and a crown fitted with double gaskets. The bidirectional bezel, with a compass scale, primes the watch for land and sea exploration. It pairs with a blue IRONMAN-branded rubber strap, fastened by a stainless-steel double tang buckle.
The IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship edition chooses Breitlight®, a proprietary material prized for its featherweight properties—3.3 times lighter than titanium and 5.8 times lighter than stainless steel. Breitlight® is not only hypoallergenic but also thermally stable and resistant to scratches, lending the watch to both everyday wear and the unpredictable rigours of triathlon. This 44mm case is identically robust, matched with flat sapphire crystal, 100m water resistance, and a turquoise IRONMAN-branded rubber strap featuring a Breitlight® double tang buckle.
Breitling’s Endurance Pro IRONMAN 2025 models (4.100 EUR titanium, respectively 3.800 EUR in Breitlight®) march confidently at the intersection of sporting achievement and horological ingenuity. Whether fashioned from titanium or Breitlight®, these limited editions extend an invitation to join a narrative of passion, precision and perseverance. Each watch fuses the identity of its championship, offering not just a record of elapsed time, but a celebration of all that IRONMAN and Breitling signify. Available through Breitling’s boutiques, online, and at the locations immortalised on their dials, this is watchmaking forged for the finish line, but destined for every adventure that follows.
