Bentley and Breitling have restored their ancient partnership entrusting Breitling create a new generation of luxury watches. The renewal of Bentley and Breitling affiliation will bring us the Premier B01 Chronograph 42 Bentley British Racing Green, powered by Breitling’s flagship Manufacture Caliber 01 in-house mechanical movement. The watch will have a transparent case back with a metalized Bentley logo. Additionally, it will have an inspiring 70-hour power reserve.
Bentley chose Breitling in 2003 as their first watchmaker to create a clock for their flagship Continental GT.
Adrian Hallmark, the former Bentley’s Board Member for Sales and Marketing and presently the Chairman and Chief Executive of Bentley Motors said, “The long-standing collaboration between Bentley and Breitling is a shining example of how, when two like-minded brands work together in an authentic way, the performance of both is enhanced.”
“As we approach our centenary year, we will, of course, be celebrating our past, but, more importantly, we will be looking toward the future with a passion for innovation. It gives me great confidence to move forward with partners like Breitling who share our commitment to technological excellence, expert craftsmanship, and a pioneering spirit.”
The watches retain a carved plate with a ‘Bentley’ inscription characterized by British racing green dial. They are accessible in stainless-steel bracelet and British racing green leather strap complementing the dial. We can see the contrasting subdials at 3 and 9 o’clock, and the date window at 6 o’clock.
Breitling is also working to create a limited-edition timepiece to commemorate Bentley’s 100 years of luxury motoring brilliance next year.
Breitling CEO Georges Kern was happy and enthusiastic about the renewal of this association. He said, “Bentley and Breitling share so many values. Both companies are known for quality, performance, and design excellence, and both can build on powerful historical legacies. It’s an ideal partnership, and, after more than 15 years, it is a pleasure to add another chapter to it.”
