Breitling Premier B01 Bentley BRG

Many luxury car makers cooperate with manufacturers of high-quality watches. Bentley, for example, has been partnering with Breitling for 15 years now. In 2003, Breitling designed the onboard clock for the then new Continental GT. For the anniversary, both companies now extended the joint contract and announced a number of new watch models. These should be available at normal dealers and not only as an exclusive ‘Breitling for Bentley Collection’.

It starts with the new Premier B01 Chronograph 42 Bentley British Racing Green. Behind this somewhat bulky name hides a men’s wristwatch with Breitling’s flagship, the mechanical Manufacture Calibre 01. This is visible to a large extent from the outside through the transparent back of the watch case and has an impressive 70-hour power reserve. On the side of the case is an engraved plaque with the Bentley lettering in the style of the dashboard plaques of the 1929 Bentley Blower.

The namesake is the dial and the high quality leather strap, each executed in the color British Racing Green. As an alternative to leather, a stainless steel bracelet is also available. Above the 6 o’clock mark is a date display. At the height of 3- and 9 o’clock sit two additional hands. All of this is housed in a polished stainless steel case with 42 millimeter diameter.

Bentley celebrates its centenary next year and announced a new limited edition wristwatch together with Breitling.
