Pre-Owned Breitling For Bentley Motors GMT Chronograph Light Body B04 Midnight Carbon Special Edition VB043222BD69222

WHY WE LOVE IT

In a market full of timepieces produced in limited runs to commemorate automotive partnerships, it becomes easy to become rather jaded and dismissive of the nomenclature; particularly when you've been collecting wristwatches as long as we have. But a few really hit it out of the park.

This isn't one of them.

Luxury automotive manufacturer Bentley and classic Swiss chronograph manufacturer Breitling have been partners for 20 years.

It all started in 2002, when Bentley commissioned Breitling to create a dashboard clock for its luxurious Continental GT. Since then, Breitling has developed an entire collection inspired by numerous Bentley models, including elegant Premier chronographs, sporty Chronomats, and more.

This particular timepiece, a Breitling Bentley Chronograph from circa the 2000s, echoes somewhat the busy design language of the Navitimer: Housed in a bold, 49mm DLC-treated titanium case with a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, and a unique, bi-directional engine-turned bezel with an internal GMT cities, it features a luminous black dial with applied indices and red subsidiary register rings, a matching handset, a triple-register chronograph layout with GMT functionality, and a date window at 4:30. Powered by a robust and reliable automatic-winding chronograph GMT movement, it comes paired to a signed, integrated black rubber strap with a matching DLC-treated push-button deployant clasp.

Whether you’re a Breitling collector, a Bentley fan, you’re game for a good, old fashioned oversized chronograph, or if you're looking for a functional and stealthy statement piece that screams from the wrist with a Swiss chronograph movement that brings you back to those carefree pre-Financiapocalypse days, you've found it.
