“It’s so much fun to be in Miami for the historic launch of the 50th Anniversary Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. It’s a privilege to have Jessica [Gomes] and Kate [Bock] here in the Aventura Boutique with us to greet our guests,” says Breitling USA President Thierry Prissert. “If you think about it, the relationship between Sports Illustrated and Breitling is a natural fit. Breitling is dedicated to performance and surpassing personal limits, just like the athletes featured on the pages of Sports Illustrated, but it is also a brand that likes to have fun and take risks, which is embodied by the swimsuit edition.”

Since its inception in 1964, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition has been making history; credited with legitimizing the bikini as swim apparel, and launching the careers of super models around the globe.
