The Basics
Enhanced by its two lever pushpieces smoothly integrated with the cambered profile of the case, the Flying B Chronograph asserts its presence as a superb time-measuring instrument. Its dial is exquisitely crafted in the spirit of luxury and refinement that distinguishes all Breitling for Bentley creations. A stunning technical and aesthetic accomplishment, individually hand made by artisans at the peak of their art. Three hollowed counters create an appealing depth effect, while their softened rectangular shape subtly echoes the lines of the case. The radiating hour-markers and the large Roman numeral XII are adorned with mother-of-pearl inlays displaying superlative workmanship. The outer part of the dials comes in shades inspired by the Bentley livery: Royal Ebony, Neptune, Desert Dune, Silver Storm, Amber, Bronze… The graduated “track” surrounding the subdials and the knurled motif set the perfect finishing touch to this original and dynamic geometrical effect. The Flying B Chronograph is powered by a motor in harmony with the finest Breitling traditions. The Breitling Calibre 44B selfwinding movement, chronometer-certified by the COSC, features a large calendar display with two distinct indicators, one for the tens and the other for the units. This ultra-stylish timepiece is available in steel, in red gold or in white gold.

About Breitling
Breitling was founded in 1884. The brand counts among its earliest achievements the invention of the independent chronograph pushpiece in 1915 and the separation of the start/stop functions from that of resetting in 1923. The connection of Breitling with the world of aviation is said to have taken off in the early 1930’s, when the brand started creating onboard chronographs intended for … aircraft cockpits. With the introduction of the Navitimer in the first half of the 1950’s, Breitling had created what would prove to be one of the most iconic and everlasting pilots watch designs yet: the model hasn’t been out of production since. A variation of this model accompanied Scott Carpenter on his orbital flight aboard the Aurora 7 capsule in 1962. In the sixties, Breitling was part of the ‘Project 99’ consortium that was created with the aim of creating the first self-winding chronograph movement – the one that would become the caliber 11. Although the so-called ‘Quartz Crisis’ had hit Breitling hard, the brand would be one of the first to launch a completely new mechanical chronograph in the mid-eighties: the Chronomat. This watch would become another icon for Breitling and would serve as a catalyst for the industry as a whole. Besides the Navitimer and the Chronomat, the Emergency is arguably the third most emblematic model – featuring a never-before-seen transmitter system that couldn’t have been conceived by any other brand than Breitling. The 2009 introduction of the caliber 01 gave Breitling a in-house chronograph movement and it would serve as the base for a number of variations over the next few years. Breitling is the only company of this scale to submit 100% of its movements for COSC-certification, including the quartz calibers.
