!±8± Review of Breitling For Bentley Motors Speed Chronograph - 2009 Breitling New Model

The prestigious Breitling for Bentley Collection recently welcomed new member- Bentley Motors Speed chronograph which was released at Baselworld 2009. It keeps unmistakable features of previous models and shows some subtle improvements. It is a watch that easily touches hearts of people with strong sporty feel, elegant design and recognizable British style.

Backed by the highly sophisticated technical heritage of Breitling, this watch offers the wearer with six practical functions, including chronographs(30-seconds at 6, 15 minutes at 9 and 6 hours at 3), hours, minutes, seconds, date and a variable tachometer. The Breitling 25B caliber, an exclusive automatic movement, is equipped with a unique 30-second chronograph mechanism rather than a normal 60-second chronograph mechanism. It allows the central hand to glide around the dial in 30 seconds and presents a much more accurate reading of seconds(within 1/8 second). As a tribute Breiting for Bentley, a variable tachometer is essential to this new model. This tachometer provides important information to the wearer such as average speed, the distance covered and the speed reached.

The 48.7 case still features the exquisite knurled bezel. The dial, covered by a convex sapphire crystal which is anti-reflective at both sides, is available in black Velvet, Bronze, Silver Storm and Neptune. The neptune dial is only presented on steel case while the other three dials are displayed on steel or 18K red gold case. The date window is placed between 4 and 5 o'clock. Looking closer, the chrome rings adopted by three subdials are bright spot on the dial as they enlarge the subdials and bring a more subtle and smaller appearance for the main dial.

This new model also offers a great selection of strap options: Barenia leather strap, crocodile strap, rubber strap and metal Speed bracelet.
