Limited Edition of 500 Pieces in Stainless Steel and 100 Pieces in 18kt Red Gold
Breitling took to the Wheels and Waves festival in Biarritz, France for the launch of its Premier Wheels and Waves Limited Edition chronograph. Since 2012, Wheels and Waves, the world's leading motorcycle, surfing, and skateboarding festival, has attracted visitors from all over the world to this popular resort town.
Breitling CEO Georges Kern said, "At Wheels and Waves, we highlighted the passions we share with the festival: a cool, laid-back surfing lifestyle and sporty, elegant motorbikes. It also gave us a chance to introduce ourselves to people who, like us, are driven by action, purpose, and style and we launched a watch that celebrates the festival that expresses those values."
