Breitling and Triumph present the third model born of the fruitful collaboration between the two brands, as well as a limited edition maximoto (with an exclusive matching watch).
The third model resulting from the collaboration with the famous British motorbike brand, the Chronomat B01 42 Triumph by Breitling combines a 42 mm titanium and 18-carat red gold case, framing an anthracite dial, and a perforated brown leather strap, in perfect racing style.
The parts made of red gold, in particular, are the pushers, crown and bezel (the latter unidirectional rotating and with a titanium ring). On the aforementioned anthracite dial (with additional black guilloché-engraved counters with a concentric circle motif) hands and baton hour markers are facetted and luminescent SuperLuminova. The additional indications are as follows: chrono minutes at 3 o'clock, chrono hours at 6 o'clock (with date display) and continuous seconds at 9 o'clock. The protective glass is a sapphire crystal with an internal and external anti-reflective treatment.
Along the perimeter is the tachymeter scale, accompanied by the inscription between 12 and 1 "For the ride', clear reference to the world of two-wheelers. Also worth noting, the counterweight of the chrono seconds hand in the centre, which assumes the shape of the Triumph logo. Water resistance is guaranteed up to 20 atmospheres (200 metres).
