The partnership between Bentley and Breitling is nothing new to watch aficionados. Bentley first approached the watch brand to design the clock in its upcoming Continental GT, and since then the two companies have designed some pretty incredible stuff together.
The Breitling Premier Bentley Centenary Limited-Edition Men's Watch replica is a typical limited-edition chronograph.
The Breitling Premier Bentley Centenary Watch replica is a 42mm x 13.6mm limited-edition chronograph that is available in two different case materials. The smaller run of 200 pieces will be made of 18k rose gold, whereas the larger 1000-piece model is in stainless steel. Attached to the left side of the case there is a plate engraved with "Bentley." This is designed after the dashboard of the historic 1929 "Blower" Bentley.
Both versions share the same design, bi-compax chronograph dial with the date at 6 o'clock. Surrounding the dial, Breitling has included a tachymeter scale printed in white. The dial, itself, is what stands out to me on the Centenary. Made from a unique brown elm burl, the dial adds a level of complexity and depth to the display that is pleasingly unusual. Burl is a type of woodgrain that has grown in a deformed manner. That means each slice of elm burl will be unique, and thus give each dial its own distinct character.

The Movement
Breitling points out that the contrasting sub-dial layout indicates it has employed its Manufacture Caliber B01 on this watch. If you recall, this movement was part of a movement exchange with Tudor. This movement will feature the expected 70-hour power reserve and a chronometer certification. The movement will be visible through a transparent caseback that has been etched with the Bentley logo, as well as the edition size.
