Breitling will become the first timing partner to span all Six Nations Rugby competitions, including the first-ever timing partner for the Women’s Six Nations, and the Autumn Nations Series.

Ben Morel, Chief Executive Officer at Six Nations Rugby, said, “The partnership between Breitling and Six Nations Rugby is a hugely exciting moment for everyone involved. It is a partnership of firsts; an official timing partner supporting the women’s game and a progressive new partnership, spanning all Six Nations Rugby annual competitions.
“As such a huge amount of credit goes to the unions for creating these championship opportunities, and to Breitling for their enthusiasm to all aspects of this partnership.”
Georges Kern, Breitling’s CEO, said, “We look forward to being part of the Six Nations Rugby legacy through this exciting partnership. Breitling and Six Nations Rugby are joined by spirit and attitude – both striving for excellence through action, and delivering an ethos of teamwork, inclusivity and integrity”
“At the heart of rugby is a fearless, no-limits state of mind, which our timepieces are the perfect accompaniment to. We look forward to the start of a great season, and an exciting collaboration with Six Nations Rugby, its unions and fans.”
