Breitling offers custom Super Chronomat models to Aston Martin Valhalla buyers
Breitling is pricing two custom Super Chronomat watch models exclusively for buyers of the 999-unit Aston Martin Valhalla supercar, which costs about $1.05 million. The partnership marks the first time the Swiss watchmaker has opened the design process of one of its collections directly to automotive clients.

The Tech TL;DR:
- Valhalla buyers can customize specific watch components through a dedicated digital configurator to match their supercar’s exact color specifications.
- The lineup features a 44 mm titanium Perpetual Calendar Chronograph alongside a 38 mm stainless-steel Automatic model.
- Pricing for both timepieces remains unannounced as an addition to the vehicle’s base cost.
Configuring the Super Chronomat B19 44 Perpetual Calendar Chronograph
The primary customizable timepiece is the Super Chronomat B19 44 Perpetual Calendar Chronograph, housed in a 44 mm titanium case paired with Breitling’s classic Rouleaux bracelet. The model utilizes an automatic perpetual calendar chronograph movement designed to account for month lengths, moon phases, and leap years without manual adjustment until the year 2100. The movement delivers a 96-hour power reserve, allowing the watch to rest for four days without losing its calendar or time position.
Valhalla owners can select specific colorways for the rehaut, seconds hands, and counter hands from options including Aston Martin Racing Green, Trophy Silver, Lime Green, Valkyrie Gold, Vivid Orange, and Rosso Corsa. Additional personalization includes customized rotor engravings visible through the watch’s display caseback, which exposes the black rotor and movement over a carbon-fiber dial.
Specifications of the Super Chronomat Automatic 38
For buyers selecting a smaller profile, Breitling offers the Super Chronomat Automatic 38, featuring a 38 mm stainless-steel case and a diamond-set bezel. This variant pairs a textured carbon-fiber dial with a titanium crown and a discreet date aperture positioned at six o’clock. Customization on the Automatic 38 is available across four colorways for the rehaut and hands, maintaining a technical pattern across the dial that reflects automotive engineering materials.
Aston Martin’s executive vice president and chief creative officer, Marek Reichman, stated in a press release that the Valhalla is a car defined by innovation, precision, and individuality, noting that the partnership allows customers to commission a bespoke timepiece as a natural extension of the vehicle. Breitling’s CEO of House of Brands, Georges Kern, added that opening the Super Chronomat design process directly to owners connects the vehicle experience to the wrist.
Supercar Performance Parameters and Membership Access
The Aston Martin Valhalla utilizes a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine paired with a trio of electric motors, producing a combined 1,079 PS. The plug-in hybrid electric vehicle accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 217 mph. Production is capped at 999 units globally.
Buyers of the bespoke watch duo receive a five-year membership to the Breitling Social Club, a private members’ club scheduled to open in Williamsburg later next year. The release follows a titanium Navitimer introduced at the beginning of the year, which marked Breitling’s initial automotive collaboration for F1.
