Breitling and IRONMAN have entered into a long-term partnership and have joined forces to design the Endurance Pro IRONMAN and Endurance Pro IRONMAN Finisher watches.
With this launch, two watches are offered: a red version from luxury watchmaker Breitling, available in boutiques, retailers and on the brand’s website. A black and gold version is also available, this time exclusively for IRONMAN competitors who will cross the finish line. In addition, other models are also planned, but reserved for the IRONMAN community.

Ironman, in the common language of triathlon, is the name given to one of the longest formats in the discipline, combining swimming, running and cycling. The IRONMAN Group, on the other hand, manages a global portfolio of events that includes a series of different triathlons. It is also the world’s largest mass sports operator.
This collaboration between the two companies has resulted in the release of two lightweight luxury sports watches that combine high precision, technology, innovation and sparkling design.
The 44 mm case of the Endurance Pro IRONMAN is made of Breitlight®, which makes it 3.3 times lighter than titanium and 5.8 times lighter than steel, a real asset during long sporting events. This high-tech material offers scratch, tensile and corrosion resistance. Finally, it also has a battery life of about three to four years and a touch-sensitive crown.
In addition to a seconds counter, its dial is also equipped with a 1/10th of a second counter and a 30-minute counter; and, a small point not to be overlooked: the watch is waterproof up to 10 bars (100 metres).
In terms of design, the Endurance Pro IRONMAN has a red dial with a black inner bezel. Its rubber strap is also red. In addition, it is decorated with the IRONMAN and BREITLING logos on its dial.
The second, the Endurance Pro IRONMAN Finisher, is black with gold accents. Its case will be decorated with a special IRONMAN Finisher Series engraving. Hence the name, it will be exclusively for athletes who have completed an IRONMAN race. Its case will be decorated with a special “IRONMAN Finisher Series” engraving.
“The IRONMAN is an authentic reflection of our core values: performance and endurance. We have designed this model as an ideal watch for elite athletes and as a casual, sporty chronograph for everyday wear by active people who seek the perfect combination of performance and luxury” , said Georges Kern, CEO of Breitling.
This watch, according to Georges Kern and Andrew Messick, President and CEO of the IRONMAN Group, perfectly captures the energetic and versatile spirit of the renowned IRONMAN® Triathlon Series. “We are delighted to continue our partnership with such an exceptional and respected watchmaker. Following our successful collaboration in 2019, we are pleased to partner with Breitling to create this new watch, embodying the strength and tenacity of IRONMAN triathletes” , Andrew Messick later explained.
