Breitling for Bentley: Supersports B55

Marina Milojević | 01.12.17 | 11:18 PM

Once again, the recognizable British chic and Swiss excellence come together in Breitling's new chronograph. To celebrate the launch of Bentley Continental Supersports, Breitling for Bentley has created a limited-edition timepiece with a fully connected movement, equipped with practical functions dedicated to motorsports.

The story of friendship between Breitling and Bentley started in 2003, when Breitling designed dashboard clocks for Bentley's Continental GT. This creative collaboration has given rise to a full collection of motorsports-inspired timepieces, which is now enriched with a contemporary, connected chronograph, designed in tribute to the fastest Continental ever built. The extraordinary, newly designed Continental Supersports is capable of achieving 211 mph (340 km/h) of speed, with a 0-60 mph (0 to 100 km/h) acceleration time of 3.5 seconds.

The cutting-edge chronograph that accompanies its launch, Bentley Supersports B55, is a lightweight yet sturdy titanium watch fitted with a carbon fiber dial. Carbon, which is featured in many details of the new Continental Supersports, is one of the most popular materials in the motorsports arena. It borrows a deep, charcoal tone to the dial, providing a dark backdrop for red-edged hands and luminous indexes.

For the first time ever, Breitling has equipped a Bentley chronograph with an electronic movement – its in-house B55 connected calibre. Now enriched with functions tailored for the automobile enthusiasts, it provides a chronograph function, lap timer, an electronic tachymeter, and three exclusive functions. Firstly, there is the chrono rally function, which serves to record up to 30 stages including the departure date of the rally, the start time and duration of each stage, as well as intermediate times for each stage, while adding in any penalties incurred. Secondly, the “chrono race” function for tracking races that enables the user to record the split times for each lap and calculate the average speed per lap. Finally, the “regularity rally” function with a possibility of predefining target times or intermediate times, and confirming the completed goals at the press of a button. Of course, there are also two legible, analogue and digital 12/24-hour LCD (liquid crystal display) screens equipped with a backlighting system.
