Description
Fausto Coppi and Gino Bartali united a nation through their professional rivalry and extraordinary real-life friendship. Now, Breitling unveils two vibrant limited-edition chronographs dedicated to the Italian cyclists’ legacy of resilience and achievement.
Fausto Coppi and Gino Bartali weren’t just champions – they were symbols of sportsmanship. In the 1940s and 1950s, their legendary rivalry was matched only by their respect for each other, famously captured in a moment of shared endurance: passing a water bottle just before the final push. Both were Breitling ambassadors at a time when the brand was the official timekeeper for cycling’s greatest races. Competing fiercely yet united by their love of the sport, they dominated the European circuit, defined an era, and inspired millions.
