Erling Haaland, despite not having a World Cup trophy to his name, has nonetheless captivated the world with his charmingly peculiar habits and accessories. From an engaging presence on Snapchat to a notable camaraderie with Jude Bellingham, and an impressive array of Hermès bags, Haaland continuously surprises. His appearance in Oslo with a stuffed raccoon clutching a whisky bottle further solidified his reputation for the whimsical. It seems his unique flair is just as celebrated as his prowess on the football pitch.
Beyond his collection of designer bags and unusual companions, Haaland, like many athletes, possesses a keen interest in watches. However, unlike many of his counterparts who favor brands like Patek Philippe or Richard Mille, Haaland maintains a steadfast relationship with Breitling, serving as an ambassador for the brand. During his recent travels in the United States, he was frequently observed wearing a couple of Breitling models, showcasing a blend of practicality and personal touch.
Among Haaland's preferred timepieces is a custom Chronomat Automatic GMT. This particular watch features his initials prominently displayed on the second hand and a unique engraving on the caseback depicting him in his signature lotus-pose goal celebration. This limited-edition Breitling, a personalized version of a robust model, is suitable for various occasions and looks elegant on any wrist, regardless of one's football achievements. Priced at $10,450, it offers a more accessible luxury option compared to his extensive Hermès collection.
Haaland also frequently sports a Chronomat B01 42, a chronograph that distinguishes itself from the GMT model. This watch boasts a slightly larger 42mm case and is crafted entirely from striking red gold. The opulent material accounts for its higher price tag of $48,700, positioning it as a more extravagant statement piece. Its undeniable presence, much like Haaland himself sprinting across the field, is designed to be noticed and admired from a distance.
