If you’re feeling particularly active as the New Year settles in, you might be interested in the newest Endurance timepiece from Breitling.
The new 300-piece limited-edition Endurance Pro IRONMAN 2024 70.3 World Championship Taupō (yes, it’s quite a mouthful) is Breitling’s newest ultralight sports watch, designed for the world’s finest athletes and inspired by those healthy souls who competed in December’s VinFast IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship triathlon in Taupō, New Zealand.
The world-famous IRONMAN triathlon is known for being a true test of mind and body. Months if not years are spent dedicated to training before the race even begins and Breitling has been the official luxury watch partner of IRONMAN since 2021.
Designed to roll with far more punches than you’re likely to throw at it, the new Endurance Pro IRONMAN Taupō edition is the toughest tool you can add to your fitness arsenal.
The new edition features a 44-mm case made of ultra-lightweight Breitlight material, a robust material 3.3 times lighter than titanium and 5.8 times lighter than stainless steel that’s also thermally stable (with a touch that’s warmer than metal) while being scratch-resistant, nonmagnetic, and hypoallergenic. The case is also water resistant to 10 bars.

Powered by the COSC-certified Breitling Caliber 82, a SuperQuartz movement with a warranty of two years, the new Endurance Pro IRONMAN Taupō chronograph can measure time down to 1/10th of a second while hands and indexes coated in luminescent Super-LumiNova allow for easy reading, even in low light. The black bidirectional bezel houses a solar compass, while the red inner bezel contains a scale for measuring pulse rates.
The dial features the race’s unique IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship Taupō logo featured at 6 o’clock, inspired by the Māori concept of tuituia—the spirit of unity—that brings athletes together. Finally, the new timepiece is rounded out with a red IRONMAN-branded rubber strap, secured with a Breitlight double tang-type buckle, complementing the colour of the crown and Taupō race logo at 6 o’clock.
