BREITLING for Bentley - BENTLEY Flying B Chronograph (2007)

In 2007 Breitling enriched the Breitling for Bentley collection with a chronograph version of the stylish timepiece Flying B. This model features the same daring rectangular case with its inimitably opulent lines, enhanced by two smoothly integrated lever pushpieces. The dial has been entirely redesigned in harmony with the spirit of luxury and refinement characteristic of all the creations dedicated to the prestigious British automobile manufacturer:hour-markers sculpted from mother of pearl; hollowed counters; colours inspired by the Bentley livery; and a knurled central motif matching the steel, red gold or white gold case. A superb technical and aesthetic achievement, individually hand crafted by artisans at the peak of their art. The motor powering this splendid mechanical watch is a signature Breitling officially chronometer- certified chronograph movement driving a “large date display” calendar.The back is adorned with the symbol after which it is named: the legendary Bentley “Flying B”, for decades the unmistakable emblem of the famous British marque.
