To celebrate the launch of the Continental GT V8 with its powerful new 4.0 V8 engine, Breitling has created a 250-piece limited series of the Bentley GMT chronograph.  Its distinguishing feature is the mobile inner bezel in a metallic red shade which depicts 24 cities for the GMT (second time zone) function — you will notice that the dial is equipped with an red triangle-tipped hour hand (see below) — this hand completes one rotation every 24 hours, allowing the user to instantly read off the time in all the world’s timezones in relation to that shown by the 24-hour hand.  I also like a feature of the automatic COSC-certified chronograph movement — and this feature is exclusive to the Breitling for Bentley collection — a “30-second chronograph” with a sweep seconds hand, enabling readings accurate to the nearest 1/8th of a second.  This means that the large seconds hand you see makes one full turn of the dial in half a minute.  As with all Breitling for Bentley watches, it is a big, chunky watch — 49mm case.    The Breitling  Bentley GMT “V8″ watch price is $10,590.
