A perfect emblem of the Breitling for Bentley spirit, the Bentley B06 chronograph weds stylish aesthetics with Manufacture Breitling Calibre B06, entirely developed and produced in the Breitling Chronométrie workshops. It is distinguished by its ingenious “30-second chronograph” system, inspired by a Breitling patent dating from 1926 and based on a central hand sweeping around the dial in half a minute – thereby ensuring extremely accurate eighth-of-a-second time readings. Another world-exclusive feature is the “variable tachymeter” with a rotating bezel serving to calculate average speed whatever the time elapsed, the distance covered or the speed reached. The knurled motif on the bezel, a nod to the famous Bentley radiator grilles, is picked up in the stamped or openworked motif of the dial, available in silver or black versions. This decidedly original approach continues on the reverse side of the watch that is fitted with a transparent caseback revealing a spectacular 360°-sculpted oscillating weight evoking the shape of a wheel rim. The Bentley B06 is available in steel or red gold, along with a choice of a bracelet or a leather, crocodile leather or rubber strap – the latter featuring a central raised knurled motif matching that on the bezel. This distinctive model with it’s criss-crossed engraved bezel is worthy of its affiliation with the Bentley name. - Polished 18kt red gold case & bracelet.
