The collaboration between Breitling and Bentley originated in 2003, when the luxury automobile brand Bentley commissioned the Swiss luxury watch brand with the development of a clock for the Continental GT. This cooperation resulted in several exceptional wristwatches that are perfect in design and function - such as this Flying B Chronograph with a gently moulded rectangular case and understated, cambered chronograph pushers. The centre of the dial shows an intricate engine-turned pattern reminiscent of the radiator grill of a Bentley automobile. The mother-of-pearl indexes and the large numeral "XII" lend an additional, iridescent shine to the amber-coloured, gently brushed dial.
