Premier B01 Chronograph 42 Bentley Centenary
The story
The Bentley Centenary Limited Edition in 18k red gold is presented on a brown quilted calfskin strap whose pattern and stitching were inspired by the luxurious seats in a Bentley car. The connection to the car manufacturer is further underscored by the unique brown burl elm dial, which is inspired by the wooden dashboard of the iconic 1929 “Blower” Bentley, affectionate 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. The left side of the 42mm case is sporting a “Bentley” engraved plate, inspired also from the “Blower” Bentley dashboard design. Powering the Premier Bentley Centenary Limited Edition in 18k red gold is the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, a mechanical movement developed in-house by Breitling, that established itself as one of the most reliable mechanical movement in the industry. The movement is visible through a unique transparent caseback featuring a Bentley logo. The caseback is engraved with “1 OF 200”.
