The Endurance Pro IRONMAN® 2024 70.3 World Championship Taupō is Breitling’s ultralight sports watch for the world’s finest athletes in a 300-piece limited-edition
The latest version is inspired by those racing at the VinFast IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship triathlon in Taupō, New Zealand taking place between the 14th & 15th of December 2024. The world-famous IRONMAN® triathlon is known for being a true test of mind and body. Months if not years are spent dedicated to training before the race even begins. For 140 years, Swiss luxury watchmaker Breitling has been making watches as resilient as the individuals who wear them. Breitling has been the official luxury watch partner of IRONMAN since 2021.
“The spirit of the IRONMAN 70.3 triathlon is strength, ambition, and endurance, something we at Breitling share as we have been producing robust watches that test limits, break barriers, and inspire those who wear them for 140 years. It’s the watch that helps you to meet your fitness goals but that also makes you want to keep striving and pushing the limits of your own strength and ambition.”
Georges Kern, CEO, Breitling
This limited-edition Endurance Pro IRONMAN with a 44-mm case made of ultra-lightweight Breitlight® material, a robust material 3.3 times lighter than titanium and 5.8 times lighter than stainless steel that’s also thermally stable (with a touch that’s warmer than metal) while being scratch-resistant, nonmagnetic, and hypoallergenic. The case is water resistant to 10 bar.
Powered by the COSC-certified Breitling Caliber 82, a SuperQuartz movement with a warranty of two years, this Endurance Pro IRONMAN Taupō chronograph can measure time down to 1/10th of a second. Hands and indexes coated in luminescent Super-LumiNova® allow for easy reading, even in low light. The black bidirectional bezel houses a solar compass, while the red inner bezel contains a scale for measuring pulse rates.
The dial features the race’s unique IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship Taupō logo featured at 6 o’clock, inspired by the Māori concept of tuituia—the spirit of unity—that brings athletes together. The Endurance Pro IRONMAN Taupō is rounded out with a red IRONMAN-branded rubber strap, secured with a Breitlight double tang-type buckle, complementing the colour of the crown and Taupō race logo at 6 o’clock.
