Breitling. Bentley. Once upon a time there were two brands that shared much common ground. The same passion for fine mechanisms. The same combination of prestige and performance. The same heritage of excellence. The same thrust towards the future, symbolised by a winged B signature. It was only nautral for Breitling to dedicate a watch to the automobile world, and Bentley the natural partner.

In celebration of its partnership with Bentley Motors, Breitling has unveiled an exclusive chronograph boasting a number of the distinctive characteristics of this famous British manufacturer. The Bentley Motors chronograph cultivates originality, but permeated by an eminently British sense of refinement and moderation. The gaze is immediately struck by the knurled finishing on the bezel, inspired by the Bentley control buttons. The case is distinguished by its imposing diameter. Breitling has combined this original design with an exclusive technical touch. The Bentley Motors chronograph features a unique mechanism known as the “30-second” type chronograph. The centre hand sweeps once around the dial in half a minute instead of the customary 60 seconds, an astonishing configuration that enables extremely accurate read-off to within 1/8th of a second. This distinctive feature is part of Calibre 25B, a movement stemming from the Breitling Chronométrie workshops and which is officially chronometer-certified, as indeed are all Breitling movements. In tribute to the automobile world, the Bentley Motors is equipped with another world exclusive feature, the “variable tachometer”, which enables one to measure average speed, regardless of the time elapsed, the distance covered or the speed reached. Combining performance with prestige, and tradition with innovation, this new chronograph venerates the values upheld by both brands.
