Catalogue Note
Breitling and Bentley have formed an alliance based on common values, aiming for excellence and high performance in their respective fields. The present watch incorporates a tourbillon carriage for superior timekeeping and a chronograph to record time. Breitling, founded in 1884 by Léon Breitling, has always pursued excellence in the manufacture of watches as instruments of timing and their watches are in many ways the perfect combination for Bentley cars which hold their own racing heritage.
