As Breitling USA President Thierry Prissert explains , “ When I went to my first collegiate football game in Alabama , the passion and enthusiasm I saw first-hand from the fans had me so inspired , I knew this would be the perfect alignment for a custom Breitling Endurance Pro University of Alabama edition watch . With this idea came the vision to expand the University Editions with three other iconic colleges with Princeton University , The United States Naval Academy and The University of Michigan .
