Breitling has unveiled a private commission program for owners of the Aston Martin Valhalla hypercar. This is not a standard limited edition. It is a bespoke service allowing the 999 owners of the Valhalla to configure a Super Chronomat timepiece to match their specific car.

The program offers two distinct models as a base for customization. The first is a 44mm titanium Super Chronomat B19 Perpetual Calendar Chronograph. The second is a more compact 38mm stainless steel Super Chronomat Automatic with a time-and-date function.
Both watches feature carbon-fiber dials, a direct link to the hypercar’s construction. The core of the experience is personalization. Owners use a dedicated configurator to select colors and details that mirror their vehicle's specification.
The Flagship Commission: Breitling Super Chronomat B19 Perpetual Calendar
The technical centerpiece of the Valhalla program is the 44mm Super Chronomat B19. It combines two significant watchmaking complications: a self-winding chronograph and a perpetual calendar. The dial, rendered in carbon fiber, hosts the display for both.
A perpetual calendar automatically accounts for the varying lengths of months as well as leap years. This Breitling movement is engineered to remain accurate without manual correction until the year 2100. For any dialhead, this is a serious piece of mechanical programming.
Breitling Manufacture Caliber B19
At its heart is the Breitling Manufacture Caliber B19. This self-winding mechanical movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and is built with 39 jewels. The chronograph function measures down to 1/4th of a second with a 30-minute counter.
The power reserve is approximately 96 hours. A four-day reserve is highly practical for a perpetual calendar. The watch can be left off the wrist from Friday to Tuesday and still be running, avoiding the complex process of resetting the calendar and moon-phase displays.
The Super Chronomat B19 for Valhalla uses a titanium case, distinguishing it from the 18k red gold case of the publicly available 140th Anniversary model that shares the same movement.
Case and Materials
The case measures 44mm in diameter and is crafted from titanium, a lightweight and durable material suited to the hypercar theme. Water resistance is rated to 10 bars, or about 100 meters. The watch features a one-way rotating bezel and a non screw-locked crown with two gaskets.
A cambered sapphire crystal with anti-glare treatment on both sides protects the dial. The caseback is also fitted with sapphire crystal, offering a view of the personalized movement rotor. The watch is paired with a matching titanium Rouleaux bracelet.
The Alternative: Breitling Super Chronomat Automatic 38
For owners seeking a different presence on the wrist, Breitling offers a 38mm Super Chronomat Automatic. This version trades the complex calendar and chronograph for a clean time-and-date display. The case is made from stainless steel and measures a more compact 11.88mm in thickness.
It maintains the core design language of the Valhalla program, including the carbon-fiber dial and the signature Rouleaux bracelet, here in stainless steel. Early reports also indicate the 38mm model features a diamond-set bezel, positioning it as a distinct alternative to the tool-watch aesthetic of the B19.
Breitling Caliber B17
This model is powered by the Breitling Caliber B17. It is a self-winding mechanical movement with 25 jewels, also operating at a frequency of 28,800 v.p.h. The power reserve is approximately 38 hours, a more standard figure for a three-hand automatic movement.
Unlike the B19 model, the 38mm version has a solid stainless steel caseback. This provides a different surface for custom engraving compared to the exhibition back of its larger sibling. Official water resistance specifications for this specific Valhalla configuration have not been published by the brand.
A Bespoke Commission Service
The defining element of this partnership is the owner-led customization. This is a level of personalization that goes beyond a simple limited edition. The goal is to create a direct link between the owner, their car, and their watch.
For the B19 Perpetual Calendar, buyers can specify the color of the rehaut (the ring between the dial and crystal), the central seconds hand, and the chronograph counter hands. Available colors reported include Aston Martin Racing Green, Trophy Silver, Lime Green, and Rosso Corsa.
A custom engraving on the B19's rotor, visible through the caseback, completes the personalization. The 38mm model also offers bespoke color and engraving options, though the solid caseback presents a different canvas for the owner’s mark.
Context in the Breitling Lineup
This Valhalla project elevates the brand's long-standing partnership with Aston Martin to a new level of exclusivity. It moves beyond co-branded retail pieces into the realm of private commissions, tying the watch directly to the ownership of a very specific, limited-production hypercar.
It's a different approach from other automotive-inspired pieces we've covered from the brand, like the vintage-themed Top Time B01 Racing. While that watch celebrated racing history, this project is about personalizing a piece to match a contemporary machine. It underscores a strategy of creating highly targeted, exclusive offerings for specific collector communities.
The Takeaway
The Breitling Super Chronomat for Valhalla is not a watch you can buy in a boutique; it is a commission earned through hypercar ownership. The 44mm B19 model offers substantial mechanical complexity with its perpetual calendar chronograph and 96-hour reserve, while the 38mm automatic provides a simpler, more compact alternative. The program's value is defined by its direct, personalized link between owner and automobile.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Breitling Aston Martin Valhalla watch cost?
Breitling has not released an official US retail price for either the 44mm or 38mm Valhalla Super Chronomat. The watches are commissioned privately by car owners. Some publications have reported UK prices of approximately £52,000 for the B19 model and £22,000 for the Automatic 38, but these should be treated as estimates, not official US figures.
Can I buy the Breitling Valhalla watch without owning the car?
No. The program is exclusively for the 999 owners of the Aston Martin Valhalla hypercar. Access to the watch configurator is tied to car ownership, making it one of the most restrictive purchasing requirements for a modern watch.
What is the difference between the two Breitling Valhalla watches?
The main differences are in size, material, and mechanical complexity. The 44mm model is titanium and features the Breitling B19 manufacture caliber, which includes a perpetual calendar, moon phase, and chronograph. The 38mm model is stainless steel and uses the Breitling B17 caliber, a simpler three-hand automatic movement with a date function.
What is a perpetual calendar chronograph?
It's a combination of two complex functions. The perpetual calendar is a mechanical system that correctly displays the date, day, month, and year, automatically adjusting for months with different numbers of days and for leap years. The chronograph is a stopwatch function. Integrating both into a single automatic movement is a significant watchmaking challenge.
Is the Breitling Caliber B19 an in-house movement?
Yes. Breitling designates the Caliber B19 as a "Manufacture" movement on its official specification sheet. This term indicates it is produced in-house by Breitling, representing a higher level of the brand's watchmaking capability.
