Luxury cars were never the same after the birth of this iconic Continental GT. In 2002, Bentley commissioned Breitling to design the onboard clock for its Continental GT.

breitling navitimer 8 b01 collection

NAVITIMER 8 B01

NEW FLIGHT

With the Navitimer 8 collection, Breitling takes a new aesthetic turn, while preserving some of the design features of its previous creations. We take a closer look at the model B01.

In 1938, Breitling inaugurated the Huit Aviation department. What lay behind the name? Most of the instruments provided for civilian and military purposes had eight (“huit” in French) days of power reserve. The brand recalls this figure in the name of its new collection, the Navitimer 8. While none of the models has so much autonomy, the B01 model still stands out with a calibre that will drive its functions for 70 hours. To achieve a performance like this, the self-winding movement is equipped with a bidirectional ball-bearing rotor. This cutting-edge mechanism with time-keeping precision certified by the COSC can also be used for split-time measurements. The column wheel movement controls the three chronograph functions: start, stop and reset. These operations are carried out in the traditional way using pushbuttons.

breitling navitimer 8 b01 collectionTwo versions of the Navitimer 8 B01 are available. The first has a sports look and combines a 43mm-wide steel case with a black or blue dial. The second is more refined and blends red gold and bronze. All the time information is easy to read with the large hands and over-sized figures in the purest tradition of the pilot’s watch. Split time is easily measured using the central second hand and two cream-coloured totalisers set at 3 and 6 o’clock. A running second and date counter round off the composition.

This flagship model from the range is worn with a leather strap featuring a tang buckle or a steel strap with a folding clasp.

BREITLING – BENTLEY GT DARK SAPPHIRE EDITION

A GT ON YOUR WRIST

The new limited edition watch from the Breitling for Bentley collection is an invitation on a journey in time combining luxury, peace and delight.

To celebrate the release of the new Bentley Continental GT, a car standing out because of the passenger compartment decorated with noble and precious materials and a very powerful engine, the most British of Swiss watch brands has produced a limited series of 500 pieces, the Bentley GT Dark Sapphire Edition. Like the luxurious GT coupé, the watch made by Breitling combines performance and prestige. The impressive 48mm case is made of Breitlight®. This ultra-light, ultra-sturdy, high-tech material is not only scratch-resistant and rust-resistant, but also provides excellent thermal stability and anti-magnetic qualities.

Like all the timepieces made by the firm based in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the Bentley GT Dark Sapphire Edition is driven by a movement with official COSC chronometer certification. In the present case, this is an automatic calibre, the B06, giving the watch a power reserve of over 70 hours. It also stands out through its “30-second chronograph” system. In concrete terms, the central second hand turns around the dial in half a minute. This technical feature guarantees a precise reading on short time periods down to 1/8th of a second.
