Breitling recently announced 2 new variations in its “Breitling for Bentley” collection. These new Breitling for Bentley GT’s - as in “Grand Tourer” - represent Breitling’s ongoing partnership with a brand that produces brings you luxury automobiles such as the Bentley Continental GT, one of the finest that money can buy.
The Bentley GT chronograph is more compact than the other models in the collection, and is adorned with chromed counter rings and the distinctive Bentley “diamond quilt” motif applied to the upholstery of its sportiest models. The watch is equipped with a chronometer-certified Breitling Calibre 13B with day/date calendar and features a variable tachometer (as do all Breitling for Bentley chronographs) which when used in conjunction with the chronograph, makes it possible to measure average speed, whatever the time elapsed, the distance covered or the speed reached.
Breitling has “reinterpreted” its Bentley GT chronograph in an even more sophisticated version called “Bentley GT Racing”. A medallion on the caseback displays the silhouette of the Bentley Continental GT, the most powerful of all cars produced by the prestigious British manufacturer. As on the GT version, the dial is adorned with the “diamond-quilt” motif characteristic of the upholstery on the sportiest Bentley models.
