This unique model features a high-tech, forged carbon case. Lighter and stronger than steel it boasts a distinctive carbon flecked black marbled appearance with an urban feel. It is complemented by an almost completely all black line up of components.

Neither mounted in the movement’s main plate nor attached to a bridge, this tourbillon is supported peripherally by three ceramic bearings and appears to float in space – it is one of the brand’s most intricate achievements. From the reverse, viewed through the sapphire crystal case back, another flash of color: the oscillating weight of a peripherally mounted automatic winding system has been finished in the same vibrant green.

A domed, matt black dial is complemented with anthracite wedge hands and wedge index marks at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock, offering subtle contrasts of color for a minimalist design. A black, hybrid rubber strap matches the carbon aesthetic of the case. This dark appearance is vividly offset by select components finished in a striking hue that matches the color of the Only Watch logo.

From the front, a flash of color at 12 o’clock highlights CFB’s signature “floating” tourbillon – its second hand and cage arms executed in an eye-catching green. Neither mounted in the movement’s main-plate nor attached to a bridge, this shock-proof tourbillon is peripherally supported by three ceramic bearings and appears to float in space – it is one of the brand’s most intricate achievements.

Visible through the sapphire crystal case back, the oscillating weight of a peripherally mounted automatic winding system has been finished in the same vibrant green. With black-coated bridges and gray engravings, the only other colors come from gemstones visible in the 33-jewel movement.

This Manero Tourbillon Double Peripheral Only Watch comes with the addition of a inner green bezel and 18K white gold hour-markers and hands, both filled with luminescent coating for optimum visibility in the dark. A special oscillating weight in 22K gold has also been colored with the same green and rhodium tones for a sleek and modern look. 

 Only Watch was established in 2005 by Luc Pettavino, then the CEO of the Monaco Yacht Show, whose son, Paul, suffered from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The last time the auction took place, in 2021, it raised CHF 30 million for research into the disease.

This year’s auction will take place on November 5, 2023, at 14:00 (CET), at the PALEXPO convention center in Geneva, Switzerland, alongside other unique examples contributed from across the high-end watchmaking industry. Before the auction, the full collection goes on a world tour, to generate interest among international watch aficionados in key markets.

The successful bidder will be invited on a tour of our manufacturing facilities in Lengnau, Switzerland.

Considered one of the toughest and most rewarding sporting events in the world, the IRONMAN triathlon begins long before the starting shot sounds. Since 2021, Breitling has teamed up with IRONMAN as its official luxury watch partner to recognize this incredible personal achievement and the grueling months—or years — of training that go into it.

For the 2023 race season, Breitling is introducing two new limited-edition models of the Endurance Pro IRONMAN, each presented in its race’s distinct color scheme with an IRONMAN-branded rubber strap and the competition logo at 6 o’clock. First, the Endurance Pro IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in turquoise. Limited to 250 pieces, it marks the competition in Lahti, Finland, from August 26 to 27, 2023.

Then there’s the special-edition Endurance Pro IRONMAN World Championship in blue. This model, which is also limited to 250 pieces, recognizes the men’s competition in Nice, France, on September 10, 2023, and the women’s competition in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, on October 14, 2023. It is Breitling’s premium Endurance Pro, crafted in high-performance titanium.

“The Endurance Pro IRONMAN range was designed to stand up to the toughest challenges. It’s the result of our brands’ shared spirit of performance and precision,” says Breitling CEO Georges Kern. “Completing the IRONMAN is the dream of a lifetime for so many people; it deserves an extraordinary way to be remembered.”

The limited-edition watches are only available on Breitling.com, from select Breitling boutiques and retailers, and at the Official IRONMAN Merchandise Store at the race location. Two IRONMAN timepieces can already be found as part of Breitling’s core collection: the red Endurance Pro IRONMAN and the black-and-gold Endurance Pro IRONMAN Finisher.

DESIGNED FOR PERFORMANCE

The ultra-lightweight Endurance Pro was developed for elite triathletes but works just as well as a stylish sports chronograph for everyday wear. It’s made of Breitlight®, a material almost six times lighter than stainless steel. It’s also thermally stable (with a touch that’s warmer than metal), while being scratch-resistant, non-magnetic, and hypo-allergenic.

With its rubber strap and 100-m water resistance, the Endurance Pro performs just as well in water as it does on land. And each one is powered by Breitling’s Caliber 82, a COSC-certified SuperQuartz™ movement that provides exceptional accuracy. Combine that with its easy readability, timekeeping chronograph function, and solar compass, and you have a powerful motivator for crossing the finish line.

Treat yourself to one of these special-edition Endurance Pro watches as a reward for your achievement or let it be your incentive to conquer the challenge ahead. Either way, it’s a keepsake that will serve as a constant reminder of all that you put into becoming an IRONMAN.
