Swiss Breitling and Norwegian shooting machine Erling Haaland have joined forces on a limited edition Chronomat collection with meteorite dials. The two publicly available models – the Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 and Chronomat B01 42 – are limited to 500 and 250 pieces respectively, made of stainless steel with a platinum bezel and 18-carat red gold, and powered by the certified Calibre 32 and Manufacture Calibre 01 movements. Let’s take a look – the Breitling Chronomat B01 42 “Erling Haaland”.
The football stands have their heroes, and the world of horology has its legends – but it’s rare that the two worlds collide, literally out of the blue. Breitling’s new collection Breitling The Chronomat B01 42 "Erling Haaland" brings a piece of the universe to your wrist and at the same time reveals how high sports marketing and watchmaking imagination can go.
Meteorites over the Etihad: Muonionalusta on the dial
Each dial is cut from the 4.5 billion-year-old Muonionalusta meteorite from Sweden and features a unique Widmanstätten pattern – the Breitling Chronomat B01 42 “Erling Haaland” is as unique as Haaland’s goal-scoring stats.
Kronomat Automatic GMT 40: a cosmic companion for every day

- Water resistance 200 m, "Rouleaux" bracelet or rubber

Although meteorite dials are usually seen on expensive watches made of precious metals, Breitling – perhaps inspired by Haaland's democratic attitude towards scoring goals – offers the space-grade materials in steel.

B01 42 is a watch for the momente.g. when you need to celebrate a hat-trick or just the fact that you survived the morning meeting on Monday.
Limited editions, unlimited confidence
Both models feature Haaland's initials on the second and chronograph hands, a laser-engraved goal celebration on the case back, and a handsome wooden box with a signed thank-you letter. For Haaland's inner circle, there's the mysterious "ONE OF 5" B01, which we mere mortals can only dream of.
Will Haaland score a goal for your bank account too?
The meteorite dial is pure exoticism, but Breitling keeps the price of the GMT under ten thousand euros – which is surprisingly lenient in the high-end segment. The chronograph in solid red gold is, understandably, its own financial planet. But whether it is a ticket to the world of meteorites or a full-blooded gold statement, each Chronomat in the collection offers technical perfection, sporting pedigree and a story that reads like a commentary after a Premier League match.
