A Product of Long-Standing Partnership Between Two Legends

Breitling and Bentley have long been associated, a relationship that lies in the shared aspiration for accuracy and reliability, precision, and tradition. While bespoke watches have always enjoyed a strong association with automotive racing, it was only natural to add Bentley to the list.

In 2002, the British luxury carmaker, Bentley, commissioned the Swiss famous watchmaker Breitling to engineer a clock specifically for Bentley cars. At that time, only one watch was made to celebrate Bentley’s win of Le Mans in 2003.

For these two legends, to work together isn’t only reason enough, but also a dream come true. Their watches combine the craftsmanship, technical expertise, and precision of Swiss watches with the unparalleled performance of luxury cars to create watches that are as extraordinary as they are functional.

Together with Bentley, Breitling has unveiled an incredible collection that includes the famous Premier B21 Chronograph Tourbillon 42 Bentley Limited Edition. It’s a redesigned model of a 1940′s premiere wristwatch. The years of partnership between them have also led to the release of many special editions of Chronomat and Premier editions, including the B01 Chronograph 42 Bentley, a centenary limited edition.

Soon after these creations, the Breitling Bentley series became a hit among those who appreciate fine watchmaking and well-engineered automobiles.

Why Should You Buy a Breitling Bentley Watch?

Breitling Bentley watches are known globally for their high quality, innovative design, and durability. Beyond quality craftsmanship, here are some reasons to inspire you to buy such a worthy timepiece:

  1. Quality watches blend the unique designs of both Breitling and Bentley.
  2. Limited-edition timepieces are worthy investments.
  3. Feature chronometer-certified chronograph calibers.
  4. Custom-made tourbillon watches.
  5. Can be a valuable family heirloom.

Factors To Consider When Buying Breitling Bentley

If you’re looking to buy new or pre-owned Breitling Bentley watches, there are some things that you should keep in mind. These are:

Authenticity

The first thing to look out for when buying Breitling Bentley watches is authenticity. Breitling Bentley watches are widely counterfeited, so it’s necessary to ensure that the watch is authentic before purchasing it.

For new watches, you need to look for the manual and warranty card. In the case of preloved watches, licensed sellers like Bob’s Watches provide their own guarantee for your peace of mind.

Model

Another factor is determining exactly what type of model you want based on its price range and features, such as dials and gold casing. However, don’t forget other details, such as the model, colors, and materials — because these factors can affect the price, too.

Furthermore, ensure that you’re getting the right size for your wristwatch. The company has various styles and sizes, so choose one that best fits your needs and preferences.

Budget

The best thing about Breitling Bentley watches is that there are many options available for sale at different prices. You should take your time and do research before making a purchase, so you don’t end up with something that costs more than what you intended to spend on it.

Distinctive Features & Design

Over the years, Breitling Bentley watches were characterized by large, masculine cases, whose knurled bezels are modeled after Bentley’s famous radiator grilles. The bold design was matched with a myriad of metals and colors — from steel, rose gold, and yellow gold, to dial colors like burgundy, and green. The clean lines and innovative designs make them the epitome of modern luxury watches. Like all models of Breitling watches, the Bentley series is made with a high degree of quality and precision.

The Breitling Bentley series boasts features that make it a popular choice among watch enthusiasts. For example:

  1. Chronograph movement: The chronograph function can be used to time lapse during racing events. It also comes in handy for timing other activities, such as cooking or sports.
  2. Tachymeter scale: It allows users to calculate speed based on the distance covered.
  3. Up to 60-hr power reserve: You don’t need to worry about winding your watch every day.

  5. Alarm function: Users can set reminders and alerts throughout the day.
  6. Luminescent dials: You can easily read the time even in low light conditions.
