To celebrate its partnership with Bentley, Breitling has launched a new limited edition Bentley Mulliner watch inspired by Bentley's latest work, the Continental GT Mulliner Convertible, a new Breitling watch that commemorates its 17-year relationship with Bentley. Breitling's partnership with Bentley dates back to 2002, when the iconic car company was designing the legendary Continental GT. Bentley commissioned Breitling to develop a car clock that would reflect the unparalleled luxury, quality and performance of the new Grand Tourer, which was launched in 2003.

The new Breitling chronograph is closely related to the interior of the Bentley Continental GT Mulliner convertible. The Bentley Continental GT Mulliner convertible is the most luxurious GT sports car ever designed, especially with this special Breitling clock on the dashboard.
Only 1,000 pieces of this Bentley Mulliner Limited Edition will be available. A 42mm stainless steel case with a blue alligator leather strap echoes the model's emperor blue leather interior. The elegant silver dial is reminiscent of the dashboard clock of the Continental GT Mulliner convertible.

Exquisite design

This watch has a small blue dial, a 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock and a small seconds indicator at 9 o'clock. The movement is the famous B01 with a power reserve of about 70 hours. The blue inner ring on the outside of the dial bears the white speedometer scale, and the inner ring bears the red speedometer inscription.

The connection between the watch and the car clock is further strengthened by the complementary set of Arabic numerals: the numbers on the dashboard clock are 12, 3, 6, and 9, and the numbers on the watch are 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, respectively. 8, 10, and 11. Sharing numbers in two disks is a tribute to their same DNA design. The red seconds hand and centered 60-minute scale correspond to the red stitching in the Continental GT Mulliner Convertible's internal cockpit. In addition, the sapphire crystal caseback on the back of the watch is engraved with "MULLINER EDITION-BREITLING-ONE OF 1000".
