Breitling introduced at the Geneva International Motor Show the Premier Bentley Centenary Limited Edition wristwatch, to com¬memorate the partnership with Britain’s Bentley Motors and celebrate its 100 years of luxury motoring excellence.
The new watch re¬flects the values of both Breitling and Bentley. The Breitling Premier Bentley Centenary Limited Edition is an exceptional member of the Premier collection. The elegant watch is roduced in 18 k red gold and stainless-steel versions.
The unique brown elm burl dial with black subdials (a chronograph minute counter at 3 o’clock and a small-second subdial at 9 o’clock) is particularly eye-catching. These contrasting subdials indicate that the watches are powered by Breitling’s flagship Man¬ufacture Caliber 01. The in-house mechanical move¬ment delivers an impressive power reserve of approx¬imately 70 hours.
The movement is visible through a unique transparent caseback featuring a Bentley logo. The 18 k red gold version is engraved with a “ONE OF 200” inscription, while the stainless-steel version is inscribed “ONE OF 1000”, confirmation of the edition sizes for the watches. The dial features a white tachymeter scale on a black inner bezel around the dial, with a red tachymeter inscription.
The Breitling Premier Bentley Centenary Limited Edition in 18 k red gold is presented on a brown leather strap whose pattern and stitching was inspired by the seats in a Bentley. The stainless-steel version will be available on the brown Bentley-inspired leather strap as well or on a stainless-steel bracelet.
On the left-hand side of the 42-millimeter stainless-steel case is a plate with an engraved “Bentley” inscription, whose design is based on the dashboard of the historic supercharged 1929 “Blower” Bentley. The watch is a COSC-certified chronometer, an independent confirmation of its precision.
