A Watch Worthy of the Bentley Name

It's a perfect fit. One of the world's most well respected watchmakers has joined forces with an undisputed leader in the automotive field to produce an exclusive timepiece. This is a first for either company, but a natural step considering the two companies strong reputations.

Timed to coincide with Team Bentley's 24 Hours of Le Mans entry this June of which Breitling is a sponsor, and the introduction of the British automaker's much lauded new Continental GT, that incidentally sports an integrated Breitling at dash central, the new wristwatch is a classic chronograph finished in either steel, yellow gold and white gold.

While the new Bentley coupe has already found more than 3,200 buyers, exclusive as far as motor cars go, Breitling will offer only fifty limited edition chronographs for sale.

The watch features Bentley's legendary winged logo on the face as well as a beautifully detailed inscription on the reverse. The dial is 48.7 mm in diameter, making this the largest chronometer the Swiss company has ever produced.
