Bentley and Breitling’s nearly twenty-year-long relationship started when the iconic British automaker commissioned the Swiss watchmaker to produce the dash clock for the Continental GT. Since 2002 Breitling for Bentley timepieces have become sought after by automotive and luxury watch enthusiasts for their unique style and collectibility. This latest collaboration the Premier B21 Chronograph Tourbillon 42 Bentley Limited Edition pays homage to Willy Breitling, a passionate Bentley driver whose watches changed the face of timekeeping.
Limited to just 25 pieces the watch features a 42 mm case in 18 k red gold, rectangular chronograph pushers, a gold-brown alligator strap, and a transparent sapphire caseback revealing the magnificent movement with its 22-karat gold oscillating weight. The highlight is the special chronograph tourbillon caliber and cage seen through the distinctive green dial, reminiscent of the British racing green color associated with other models in the Breitling and Bentley collaboration. Powered by the Manufacture Caliber B21, this COSC-certified tourbillon movement has a power reserve of approximately 55 hours and is water-resistant up to 100 meters.
Priced at $52,000 the Premier B21 is available for pre-order at Breitling.com.
