Honoring the original craftsman from luxury Swiss watchmaker Breitling, the newly designed 42mm Breitling B21 Chronograph Tourbillon watches are sure to excite watch collectors worldwide. The Breitling B21 Chronograph Tourbillon 42 watch lineup marks the first return of the Founders Squad, composed of Léon, Gaston, and Willy Breitling. With characteristic precision watchmaking, a simple yet elegant style, and an innovative tourbillon mechanical design, this new series of watches made of solid precious metals creates the right combination of luxury and practical functionality.
Inspired by Breitling’s founders, the new Breitling B21 Chronograph Tourbillon 42 collection features trademark design and innovation. The tourbillion is the star of the timepiece, housing a balance spring, balance wheel, and rotating cage, which helps maintain impeccable time by offsetting the pull of gravity. Combining the tourbillion with the chronograph sets the Breitling B21 watches apart from other designs.
Representing the founders of Breitling, the Breitling B21 Chronograph Tourbillon 42 comes in three precious metal variants, including the LÉON, which boasts a solid 18k red gold case, the Gaston, with its solid 18k white gold case, and a solid platinum case option for the Willie. The watches are styled with Arabic numerals and square pushers that are only found in the Premier lineup of watches. The dial is symmetrical, balancing a tone-on-tone color theme. An open sapphire crystal case back allows the wearer to proudly display the B21 movement and the reverse side of the tourbillon. The new Breitling B21 Chronograph Tourbillon collection is available online, with prices ranging from $57,000 to $67,000, depending on the selection of precious metals.
