The two prestigious brands created many memorable high-precision timepieces together, such as, the Breitling Bentley Supersports Light Body watch, the Breitling Bentley GT3 Limited Edition, the Bentayga dashboard Tourbillon clock, the Continental GT Speed Breitling Jet Team Series, the Premier B01 Chronograph 42 Bentley British Racing Green and the Premier Bentley Centenary Limited Edition. To mark the end of their relationship in 2021, the Breitling B21 chronograph tourbillon 42 Bentley was released.    The tourbillon mechanism is designed to counteract the effects of gravity on the watch’s accuracy by rotating the escapement and balance wheel. The tourbillon is usually visible via an aperture in the dial so the wearer can admire the rhythmic precision and exquisite construction. The combination of a tourbillon and chronograph integrated into one watch is rare to find and such a complication exemplifies the horological mastery of their creation.
