Richard Mille and Philippe - Only Watch 2007

The rectangular design, the first in the collection, is not the only surprising feature of the Breitling for Bentley Flying B. The watch is special for its original display mode. The Breitling watch incorporates the jumping hour mechanism with the hour hand replaced by a disc positioned at 12 o'clock. As for the minutes, they are read off in a more traditional way. You will notice a single hand placed in the center of the dial. An off-centered sub-dial at 6 o'clock is used for showing the seconds. The over-sized case of the Breitling watch (38.5 x 57.3 mm in diameter) sports cambered rectangular lines and original play on angles and curves, hinting at the elegance of a coupe or cabriolet automobile model. The Breitling watch-makers wanted to create the timepiece that would be immediately noticed on the wrist of its owner.It sports a wide range of original details, including the knurled motif that was suggested by Bentley instrumentation. The hour-markers of the Breitling watch are produced from mother-of-pearl. The dial's design is based upon distinguishing interplay on reliefs and materials, underlined by a subtle color touch matching the central part as well as the jumping hour aperture. The Breitling artisans created a slightly cambered dial profile that required all their mastery and ingenuity. Following the steps of all the models entering the Breitling for Bentley watch collection, the Flying B takes is driven by an exceptional movement - self-winding Breitling Caliber 28B with a 28,800-vibrations per hour beat. The precision of timekeeping is guaranteed by the official COSC chronometer-certification. The Breitling watch is 100-meter water-resistant. The dial of the Breitling Flying B represents a true masterpiece of artistry and craftsmanship.
