, This year has seen the Breitling for Bentley collaboration come into its own with some stunning designs that are unparalleled in fine watch making. The Bentley 6.75 Midnight Carbon edition is no different with its satin-brushed steel finish and detailed face, yet again Breitling have produced a timepiece that beautifully illustrates the collaboration.It has been inspired by one of Bentley’s biggest engines, the 6.75 litre that powers the luxury Mulsanne limousines. The watch’s design and knurled bezel is based on the Bentley’s famous radiator grilles. What really is impressive is the open worked faces that gives you glimpses of the movement, you can really tell that some real craftsmanship has gone into this piece.
The movement is a self winding chronograph with a large aperture calendar and date system. The rises motif rubber strap perfectly finishes off the watch and with only 1,000 being produced, this timepiece is set to be a real head turner.
