The exceptional Breitling watch pays tribute to the ‘winged B’, the renowned British manufacturer’s historical emblem. A Bentley car found on the list of most prestigious automobile marques in the world may be compared to a real work of art produced with meticulous attention to detail.
The Breitling for Bentley Flying B watch was created as a luxurious and sophisticated timepiece. The over-sized case of the Breitling watch (38.5 x 57.3 mm in diameter) sports cambered rectangular lines and original play on angles and curves, hinting at the elegance of a coupe or cabriolet automobile model. The Breitling watch-makers wanted to create the timepiece that would be immediately noticed on the wrist of its owner.
The rectangular design, the first in the collection, is not the only surprising feature of the Breitling for Bentley Flying B. The watch is special for its original display mode. The Breitling watch incorporates the jumping hour mechanism with the hour hand replaced by a disc positioned at 12 o’clock.
As for the minutes, they are read off in a more traditional way. You will notice a single hand placed in the center of the dial. An off-centered sub-dial at 6 o’clock is used for showing the seconds. Following the steps of all the models entering the Breitling for Bentley watch collection, the Flying B takes is driven by an exceptional movement – self-winding Breitling Caliber 28B with a 28,800-vibrations per hour beat. The precision of timekeeping is guaranteed by the official COSC chronometer-certification. The Breitling watch is 100-meter water-resistant.
The dial of the Breitling Flying B represents a true masterpiece of artistry and craftsmanship. It sports a wide range of original details, including the knurled motif that was suggested by Bentley instrumentation. The hour-markers of the Breitling watch are produced from mother-of-pearl. The dial’s design is based upon distinguishing interplay on reliefs and materials, underlined by a subtle color touch matching the central part as well as the jumping hour aperture. The Breitling artisans created a slightly cambered dial profile that required all their mastery and ingenuity. The curving shape of the watch’s sapphire crystal was also worth considerable efforts.
At the case-back of the Breitling watch there is the legendary Bentley ‘Flying B’ symbol which continuously served as the timeless emblem of the prestigious Bentley automobiles. The Flying B offers the choice between a steel model, then the version crafted in a refined red gold as well as in a luxurious series of white gold pieces.
