Description

The Bentley Centenary Limited Edition in stainless-steel is presented on a stainless-steel bracelet. It is also available with a brown quilted calfskin strap. The watch has the unique brown burl elm dial, which is inspired by the wooden dashboard of the legendary 1929 “Blower” Bentley, the nickname given to the 4 ½ Litre Supercharged race cars driven by Sir Tim Birkin and the legendary Bentley Boys in the 1920s. The dial features contrasting black subdials and a white tachymeter scale on a black inner bezel around the dial, with a red tachymeter inscription. On the left side of the 42 mm steel case is a plate with an engraved “Bentley” inscription, which also owes its inspiration to the dashboard of the historic 1929 “Blower” Bentley. Inside the steel case is the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, a mechanical movement that has proven since years its performance and reliability. The movement is visible through a unique transparent caseback featuring a Bentley logo. The caseback is engraved with “1 OF 1000”.
