This watch features:

Breitling Bentley Barnato Special Edition Chronograph Automatic in Stainless Steel with “Royal Ebony” Dial and Skeleton Back 49mm

The Bentley Motors chronograph cultivates originality, but permeated by an eminently British sense of refinement and moderation. The gaze is immediately struck by the knurled finishing on the bezel, inspired by the Bentley control buttons. The case is distinguished by its imposing diameter. Breitling has combined this original design with an exclusive technical touch.

Named after Woolf Barnato, the most famous of the Bentley Boys who distinguished themselves in automobile competitions during the 1920s, the Bentley Barnato lines up on the starting grid with a number of assets. A resolutely sporting appearance accentuated by red-rimmed counters and an inner bezel bearing a tachometric scale. A pure aesthetic enhanced by a bezel with a raised knurled motif. An efficient and reliable movement, officially chronometer-certified by the COSC and equipped with the exclusive “30-second chronograph” mechanism enabling highly precise readings accurate to the nearest 1/8th of a second. In another bold and original feature, on the Bentley Barnato Racing, the pointer-type totalizers are replaced by disc-type counters featuring an openworked shape reminiscent of the steering wheels on the famous Bentley speed machines that won the Le Mans 24 Hours race five times between 1924 and 1930. This spectacular design is interpreted – as with the Bentley Barnato – through this stainless steel model fitted with a Bentley Speed bracelet.
