David Beckham takes to the skies as the face of Breitling

David Beckham has been chosen by Breitling to be the face of the Transocean Unitime world timer watch.

This latest campaign sees the establishment of a long term partnership between a historic and innovative brand and one of most celebrated, and in demand, icons in the world.

It is apt, when you consider the long established ties Breitling has with aviation, that the sky is the limit for both of them, and throughout their history hey have created a number of great travel watches, including the iconic Unitime watch which anyone who was anyone wore in the 1950’s and 1960’s.

In the spring of 2012, Breitling added the Transocean Chronograph Unitime to the Transocean range. Equipped with the new Manufacture Breitling Caliber B05 featuring a patented mechanism, this worldtimer chronograph has asserted itself as the ultimate travel watch thanks to its double disk, which enables permanent readings of the time in all 24 timezones, and its ultra-user-friendly crown-operated correction system.

One of the world’s most successful sportsmen and style icons, David Beckham stars in the Breitling advertisement featuring a highly evocative visual shot by renowned American photographer Anthony Mandler. On the runway of the Mojave Air & Space Port in California, this striking image shows Beckham standing in front of a private jet wearing his Transocean Chronograph Unitime.

“I’ve always been a long-time admirer of Breitling,” said David Beckham. “As a company they create not only the highest-performance watches but also timeless designs that have inspired generations. It was a natural choice for me to partner with this fantastic brand.”
