Breitling Bentley Mark VI

A Heritage Of Excellence

Breitling Bentley Mark VI

1946.
The legendary Bentley Mark VI emerged from the new factory in Crewe, England. It was the first Bentley produced in these workshops, where the world's most prestigious automobiles are still assembled to this day. Now associated with the famous British car manufacturer, Breitling revives the legend by presenting the Bentley Mark VI special edition, a chronograph designed in the spirit of tradition and performance characterising the entire Breitling for Bentley collection.

This new timepiece incorporates the signature features of the British carmaker, such as the knurled finishing on the platinum bezel inspired by Bentley control buttons. Merging expertise and elegance, it is adorned with hour-markers carved from mother-of-pearl – a truly exquisite piece of fine craftsmanship – and the caseback is stamped with the Bentley symbol of the era. Created for devotees of superlative mechanical engineering, the Bentley Mark VI is equipped with an exclusive Breitling for Bentley movement, selfwinding Calibre 26B with central 60-minute counter. Assembly of this sophisticated mechanism is governed by an extreme concern for reliability and precision, confirmed by the much-coveted title of COSC-certified chronometer.

Breitling Bentley Motors T

On The Wings Of Performance

Breitling Bentley Motors T

Breitling. Bentley. Once upon a time there were two brands sharing much common ground. The same passion for fine mechanical engineering. The same heritage of excellence, symbolised by a winged B signature. This alliance of prestige and performances has given rise to a line of exceptional chronographs called Breitling for Bentley.

As the first model in this collection dedicated to the automobile world, the Bentley Motors chronograph is being issued this year in a very special series. Named Bentley Motors T, this timepiece is distinguished by its resolutely sporting design reflected in details such as its bezel adorned with an engine-turned motif catching the light in a manner reminiscent of Bentley dashboards; or in the case with its subtly alternating fine-brushed finishing on top and polished sides. Another exclusive feature is its medallion on the caseback, depicting the silhouette of three of the most legendary Bentley models: the Speed 6, the R-Type Continental and the Continental GT. Three cars which – like the Bentley Motors T chronograph – are a perfect blend of style and performances.

The originality of this design is further enhanced by a touch of technical exclusivity. The Bentley Motors T is equipped with a mechanism unique in the world called the “30-second chronograph”. The central hand sweeps round the dial in half a minute, instead of the usual 60 minutes, in an astonishing configuration that enables highly accurate readings to within the nearest 1/8th of a second.This mechanism is one of the chief assets of Calibre 25B, a movement produced by the Breitling Chronométrie workshops and officially chronometer-certified, as indeed are all Breitling movements. The Bentley Motors T is equipped with another world-exclusive feature: the variable tachometer, enabling measurement of average speed, whatever the time elapsed, the distance covered or the speed reached. Bentley Motors T is crafted in steel as well as in a limited series of 500 in rose gold.

Chrono-Matic 24 H

Breitling Chrono-Matic 24 H

In 1969, Breitling created the first selfwinding chronograph movement: Caliber 11, a mechanism in which the spring is wound by means of an off-centered oscillating weight. This invention would enable the development of a whole range of chronographs named Chrono-Matic, instantly recognizable thanks to their left-placed crown.

The Chrono-Matic line has now made its grand comeback in the Breitling collections. Even though it is strongly inspired by the original drawing, today’s Chrono-Matic range is far more than a mere re-edition: it is truly a reinterpretation in a contemporary spirit. This principle is eloquently illustrated by the new Chrono-Matic 24H. The exclusive design is further enhanced by the original 24-hour display, a brand specialty stemming from its experience in space explorations during the early 1960s. On this model, the hour hand revolves around the dial in 24 hours, instead of 12 as seen on traditional watch displays.

The Chrono-Matic 24H also features a Flyback mechanism. This additional function serves to launch successive timing operations without needing to stop, reset and restart the chronograph. Governed by the same concern for authenticity, the Chrono-Matic carries the Breitling signature topped with the initial B, the brand symbol of that era. Other essential characteristic of the Chrono-Matic lies in the aviation slide-rule, controlled by rotating the outer bezel, which drives a pinion and an arbor acting on the inner bezel. This mechanical device guarantees extremely precise read-off of the measurements made. The Chrono-Matic 24H is powered by 38-jewel Breitling Caliber 22LC (Left Crown), officially chronometer-certified by the COSC, like all movements driving Breitling wrist instruments.

The Flying B

The Wings Of Renown

Breitling Bentley Flying B

A Bentley is far more than a car: it is a work of art, crafted with infinite concern for detail. Dedicated to the most prestigious of automobile marques, the latest newcomer to the Breitling for Bentley collection likewise asserts itself as a luxurious and sophisticated creation. First of all through its case, endowed with cambered rectangular lines reflecting the elegance of a coupé or cabriolet model. Also through its generous yet elegant dimensions establishing a powerful presence on the wrist, as well as its play on angles and curves. The surprising nature of the Flying B stems not just from this rectangular design, the first “shaped” case in the Breitling for Bentley collection. It is also distinguished by its original display mode featuring a jumping hour mechanism in which the hour hand is replaced by a disc at 12 o'clock. Minutes are read off in a more conventional way by means of a single hand placed at the dial centre. Meanwhile, the seconds are shown on an off-centred subdial at 6 o'clock. Like all models in the Breitling for Bentley collection, the new Flying B takes to the road with an exceptional motorisation: selfwinding Breitling Caliber 28B, officially chronometercertified by the COSC.
