Breitling Breitling for Bentley Collection

Breitling for Bentley is an exclusive collection of high-end timepieces that is meant to represent a passion for technical expertise and complex mechanisms that unites the Swiss watchmaker with the prestigious British manufacturer of luxury cars. The watchmaking excellence is visible through the inclusion of quality self-winding movements, mostly with chronograph functions, while the influence of automobile origin can be visible in the many details on the faces of timepieces, for example the shape of the bezels or the styling of the dials, or by direct dedication to some of the Bentley’s models that can be seen in the names of these Breitling watches.

The collaboration between the well-known companies from Switzerland and Great Britain has produced some of the most amazing pieces that were launched by the watchmaker from Grenchen. Probably the most obvious example is the only timepiece by Breitling with a tourbillon complication. Most of the other models from the series are made with chronograph features (with the accuracy of 1/4^th or 1/8^th of a second), as it is appropriate for racing or plain driving. Some of the watches have features, such as rotating pinion bezels, circular slide-rules or inner bezels. Though most of the watches have date displays, only few of them are equipped with perpetual calendars or with moon phase indications.

Still there are also some mid-sized models that do not exceed the diameter of 42 mm. The most commonly used shape for housing is circular, though there is a number of models with irregular-shaped cases (that are somewhere between rectangular and tonneau form). Likewise, though the majority of watches have stainless steel cases, it is also possible to find certain models that have cases made of gold (which can furthermore be red, pink or yellow). In some instances, bezels are constructed from platinum.
