Retro Cycling Party DNA Activated | Breitling × Coppi Bartali Bikes

In the world of watches, there’s no shortage of brands making noise—but this time, one has gone all out by summoning an ancient power couple from the realm of cycling: the “Angel,” Gino Bartali, and the “Devil,” Fausto Coppi!

**FAUSTO COPPI (1919–1960)**
🏆 5-time Giro d’Italia Champion (1940, 1947–1949, 1953)
🏆 2-time Tour de France Champion (1949, 1952)

– **Modern Pioneer**: A trailblazer in training techniques, nutrition plans, and cycling gear.
– **Charismatic Icon**: Renowned for his grace, versatility, and a tragically romantic personal story.

Nicknamed “Il Campionissimo” (“The Champion of Champions”), Coppi inspired generations with his elegance and dominance on the track.

**GINO BARTALI (1914–2000)**
🏆 3-time Giro d’Italia Champion (1936, 1937, 1946)
🏆 2-time Tour de France Champion (1938, 1948)

– **Double Hero**: Celebrated not just for his athletic feats but also for his bravery during WWII, when he smuggled forged documents via his bike frame to save Jewish lives.
– **Timeless Legend**: The decade-long gap between his Tour de France victories (1938 and 1948) underscores his incredible staying power.

Known as “L’Intramontabile” (“The Indestructible One”), Bartali remains a symbol of enduring greatness across eras.

Breitling, too, has long been intertwined with the cycling world. In the 1950s, it became the official timekeeper for both the Tour de France and Giro d’Italia. Mr. Willy Breitling himself often attended and sponsored races, leading the way in a car adorned with Breitling banners—a testament to his passion for adventure sports.

Now, Breitling pays homage to these two Italian legends with two exclusive Top Time B01 Chronograph Limited Edition pieces.
