Breitling for Bentley GMT Midnight Carbon

British automaker, Bentley, have been behind some of the most iconic luxury vehicles including their groundbreaking Bentley Continental GT, first launched in 2002. For their Continental GT luxury car, Bentley invited Breitling, the Swiss specialists in chronographs, to create the onboard clock. The relationship between the two luxury brands was further cemented in 2003 when Bentley made their legendary comeback at the Le Mans race, where Team Bentley claimed victory by securing both 1 ^st and 2 ^nd place. To celebrate the triumph, Breitling, a main sponsor of Team Bentley, released the Bentley Le Mans limited edition watch. The auto-inspired luxury watch was such a success that this marked the beginning of a creative partnership between both companies — the Breitling for Bentley series of luxury watches.

Each of the Breitling for Bentley timepieces highlights the pursuit of prestige and performance at the core of both companies. All of the watches produced under the dual branded collection are driven by COSC-certified chronometric mechanical movements for steadfast reliability and accuracy. Complementing the engines within, the aesthetics of the Breitling for Bentley watches are infused with design elements from the luxury vehicle — such as the renowned Bentley honeycomb grille pattern found on the bezels.
