In the exciting world of Formula 1, where precision, resilience, and elegance define success, a new story unfolds. As engines roar towards the first Grand Prix of the 2025 season in Melbourne, Bianchet is proud to announce a thrilling new alliance with Esteban Ocon. The celebrated French Formula 1 driver and Grand Prix winner becomes the new face of Bianchet, joining a team of talented brand ambassadors.
A Journey Forged in Passion and Precision
Esteban Ocon’s path to Formula 1 is the stuff of legend. From humble beginnings, armed only with sheer determination and extraordinary talent, he conquered every challenge that stood in his way. Victories in the 2014 FIA Formula 3 European Championship and the 2015 GP3 Series marked him as a rising star. By 2016, he had seized his rightful place among the world’s elite drivers.
Today, Esteban stands tall with a remarkable collection of podium finishes, including his unforgettable Grand Prix victory in Budapest in 2021. Now, with a fresh start at the MoneyGram Haas F1 Team, he is ready to write the next thrilling chapter of his career—and he chooses to do so with a Bianchet timepiece on his wrist.
The Perfect Symbiosis: Bianchet and Esteban Ocon
In a world where every thousandth of a second matters, Esteban Ocon found in Bianchet a natural ally. Our watches are a fusion of high-tech materials and artisanal craftsmanship, engineered to deliver impeccable performance under the most demanding conditions, just like the precision needed in Formula 1.
At Bianchet, we believe that resilience, elegance in motion, and a relentless pursuit of perfection are not merely values; they are a way of life. Esteban embodies these ideals flawlessly, both on and off the track. It was no surprise that earlier this year, at the prestigious "F1 75 Live" gala in London—a landmark celebration of 75 years of Formula 1—Esteban proudly wore the Bianchet Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT. A symbol of refined engineering and design, just like the man himself.
By joining Bianchet, Esteban Ocon also steps into an exceptional circle of ambassadors who share the brand’s passion for excellence and spirit of competition: renowned tennis champions Grigor Dimitrov and Alexander Bublik, electric racing star Maximilian Günther, and fearless big wave surfer Francisco Porcella. A family of talents, each pushing the limits in their respective fields, united by the Bianchet vision.
The Flying Tourbillon: A Testament to Innovation and Artistry
The Bianchet B1.618 Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT is more than a watch; it is an engineering masterpiece. With a high-density carbon case infused with titanium powder, it withstands shocks up to 5000G and dives confidently up to 100 meters underwater. Its heart, a lightweight titanium flying tourbillon with a rotating earth globe, allows to read two time zones simultaneously, while a vulcanized rubber strap guarantees comfort and adaptability.
It’s a watch crafted for those who refuse to compromise, a perfect companion for Esteban Ocon, whose life across time zones is driven by the pursuit of excellence.
Speaking about this exciting partnership, Esteban Ocon said,
“It is an honor to join the Bianchet family and represent a brand that shares my commitment to precision and performance. The sophisticated design and remarkable engineering of their watches perfectly reflect the spirit of racing: pushing boundaries through constant innovation and the pursuit of excellence.”
At Bianchet, we are equally thrilled. Rodolfo Festa Bianchet, CEO and founder, shared,
“We are delighted to welcome Esteban Ocon to the Bianchet family. His dedication, talent, and pursuit of perfection make him the ideal ambassador for our brand. Together, we will continue to push the boundaries of artisanal innovation and performance.”
Excellence in Every Second
This partnership marks more than a collaboration—it marks a union of spirits. Bianchet and Esteban Ocon both stand at the crossroads of innovation, performance, and elegance. Together, they symbolize a philosophy where every detail, every second, and every decision counts.
As the 2025 Formula 1 season accelerates into action, so too does a new era for Bianchet, one defined by resilience, precision, and artistry in motion.
Welcome, Esteban Ocon. The race for excellence continues.
