A Watch Filled with Details Expressing the DNA of Breitling and Bentley

The Premier Bentley Mulliner Limited Edition commemorates the 17-year partnership between Breitling and Bentley Motors, the longest in history between a watchmaker and an automobile manufacturer. This collaboration began in 2002 when Bentley designed the legendary Continental GT.

The new grand tourer, launched by Bentley in 2003, boasted unparalleled luxury, unmatched quality, and exceptional performance. Bentley commissioned Breitling to create an onboard clock that reflected these elements. Since then, the foundation for the partnership between these two leading brands has been laid, and their shared values of craftsmanship are once again embodied in the Premier Bentley Mulliner Limited Edition.

As its name suggests, the new model has a deep connection to Bentley's "Continental GT Mulliner Convertible."

Breitling CEO Georges Kern stated, "The Premier Bentley Mulliner Limited Edition links the DNA of Bentley and Breitling, making it natural for us to take the next step together. It is also a testament to bearing the name of Mulliner, synonymous with heritage, craftsmanship, and outstanding performance."

Adrian Hallmark, Chairman and CEO of Bentley, commented, "The connection between the new Premier Bentley Mulliner Limited Edition and Bentley's Continental GT Mulliner Convertible is beautifully expressed in the intricate details of the engraving on the watch and the distinctive design of the Breitling clock featured on the GT's dashboard, perfectly showcasing Mulliner's craftsmanship."

This timepiece is imbued with numerous details that express the special partnership between Breitling and Bentley. The 42mm stainless steel case is paired with a blue alligator leather strap, reminiscent of the car's Imperial Blue leather interior.

The elegant silver dial, designed to evoke the dashboard clock of the Bentley Continental GT Mulliner Convertible, features distinctive blue sub-dials: a 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock and a small seconds sub-dial at 9 o'clock.

The movement is Breitling's in-house Caliber 01, offering a substantial power reserve of approximately 70 hours. The blue inner bezel surrounding the dial features a white tachymeter scale with the word "TACHYMETER" in red. The connection between the wristwatch and the dashboard clock is further expressed through the Arabic numerals on each dial.

The wristwatch displays the numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, and 11, while the dashboard clock shows 12, 3, 6, and 9. This shared combination of numerals signifies the common DNA in the design of both brands.

The red accents on the chronograph hands and their indices echo the red stitching found throughout the cabin of the Bentley Continental GT Mulliner Convertible. Furthermore, an engraved plate bearing "Bentley" is set into the left side of the case, a design inspired by the dashboards of previous Bentley models.

The case back, made of sapphire crystal, is engraved with "MULLINER EDITION – BREITLING – ONE OF 1000," indicating that it is a limited edition of 1,000 pieces.
