Breitling Watches Brand Have Their New Ambassador Former hockey player great Wayne Gretzky

Canadian-born Wayne Gretzky is a living legend in the world of ice hockey. Nicknamed “the great one”, this champion renowned for his professionalism and his fair-play has a record-breaking list of achievements to his credit, including four Stanley Cup Championships, 61 NHL records, and being named 18 times to the All-Star teams. In tribute to his absolute superiority, his famous jersey number, 99, has been retired by all NHL teams.

Former hockey player great Wayne Gretzky was just announced by Breitling watches as their newest brand ambassador.

Mr. Gretzky made his "Breitling public debut" a few weeks ago at Breitling's new, New York boutique opening.

Gretzky will star in a new ad campaign for Breitling watches alongside something else Canadian, a mid 20th Century Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver aquatic plane - meant for take off and landing on water. The plane imagery is due to Breitling's connection and desire to be associated with all things "aviation." Above,
