Moments of freedom: Breitling recruits Austin Butler as a brand ambassador
Breitling has a prominent position in our luxury watches boutique in Santorini. Its latest campaign heralds a new era of freedom, individuality, and bold self-expression, values epitomized by both the brand and its newest ambassador, which is none other than actor Austin Butler.
At the center of the collaboration are Breitling’s unconventional timepieces that never cease to innovate. Breitling’s timepieces, after all, were never just about measuring moments; they are about seizing them. Now, Breitling revives that spirit with a contemporary collection that’s just as daring, just as vibrant, and just as much a reflection of a free spirit.
Austin Butler: Who is Breitling’s new face
Freedom, both creative and personal, has defined Austin’s path. Now at the height of his career, Austin values the quiet, in-between moments – what he calls his ‘moments of freedom’. With his grounded spirit and trailblazing vision, Austin Butler is a natural match for Breitling’s legacy, as it perfectly resonates with his personality.
While his Oscar-nominated turn in Elvis catapulted him into the global spotlight, followed by more critically acclaimed roles in Dune: Part Two and Masters of the Air. With a career defined by bold choices and heartfelt performances, Austin Butler has become one of Hollywood’s most magnetic talents. Who better to embody Breitling’s heritage?
Breitling’s honorable legacy
Breitling has long been a beacon of innovation, craftsmanship, and adventure. Its timepieces are more than instruments –they are statements. With a heritage rooted in aviation and a future geared toward innovation, Breitling blends functionality with refined design, appealing to those who chart their own course while valuing their own freedom.
From the cockpit to the red carpet, Breitling watches are built for life’s high moments. Whether it is the trailblazing Navitimer, the powerhouse Chronomat, the iconic Top Time, or the elegant Caliber B31, each Bretiling model available in our luxury watches boutique in Santorini tells a story of daring, elegance, and freedom.
Navitimer
From the skies of the past to the red carpets of today, Austin Butler’s journey mirrors the kind of story the Navitimer was made for. Originally designed in 1952 as a functional timepiece for jet-age pilots, the Navitimer remains a symbol of precision and aspiration. Interestingly enough, Austin portrayed a WWII-era pilot navigating both physical and emotional turbulence for his role in Masters of the Air.
Chronomat
Rugged, bold, and built to move, the Chronomat is Breitling’s all-terrain icon. First engineered in the 1980s for fighter-jet pilots, it has evolved into a universal performance watch, favored by adventurers, and durability enthusiasts. Like its wearer, the Chronomat never stays still; it rolls forward, charged with presence, always electric.
Caliber B31
The Caliber B31 is the epitome of fine watchmaking. This time-only movement is Breitling’s ode to precision, purity, and elegance. At just 4.8 mm thick, the B31 speaks in refined craftsmanship. Its open caseback offers a rare glimpse into the intricate workings of the B31. With traditional perlage decoration and Geneva stripes, it is a wondrous fusion of beauty and mechanics.
Top Time
The Top Time is not bound by hours or minutes. On the contrary, it is a celebration of moments lived boldly and unapologetically. Launched in the 1960s, it embodied a new cultural rhythm; liberated, creative, and nonconforming. Decades later, that same energy pulses through Austin Butler, who, after all, channeled the defiance and charisma of legends like Elvis Presley and James Dean on screen.
