What's the difference between the motors t and motors t speed? I've noticed the red in the dial, but is there anything else? Please tell me there's a B01 in it.
Why isn't it on Breitling's website?

Why isn't it on Breitling's website? Kevin No there isn't and more's the pity IMO. A total and utter missed opportunity. Oh well, better luck next time Breitling, eh?  The differences between the Motors T Speed and the Motors T are entirely cosmetic - a bit of red here, a fractionally thicker subdial ring there........... and that's it. God knows why they didn't just make it a new dial variant of the standard Motors T. But then I guess this idea comes from the same think-tank that thought making a Blacksteel Skyland and then an almost identical Blacksteel SA was a good idea. Or that Space Invader numerals on the Chronomat B01 bezel was a great plan...... The thing is I really LIKE the Motors T Speed - it's just a shame it doesn't bring something new to the table. |

Thanks 8, it is a shame they didn't fit it with the new movement. Oh well, just have to wait for something new. Thanks for the info. Kevin |

The Speed sub-dials have a chrome circle around them. That's about it! It's on the Japanese site http://www.breitlingforbentley.jp/products/motors-t-speed/ but the English site always lags way behind. |

The bezel is also wider and makes it look even more substantial..! the chrome rings on the dial, red numbers and wider bezel make it a winner (IMHO). I'd trade my Motors for a Motors Speed in three seconds (maybe even 2 seconds)..! They nailed it. |

I have the AD official Bentley Speed brochure at home which clearly states in the copy that the bezel size has been increased. This is confirmed, good-sir... |

I deleted my previous post as I just went onto the Breitling site and noticed that it is visibly thicker.... but I guess you obviously saw it before I binned it!  I must be honest it's more noticeable on the Motors Speed as opposed to the Motors T Speed, and I must confess I'm not so much of a fan of it compared to the older one. It looks a bit like the Bentley GMT now, and the thickness of bezel was one of the things I don't like about the GMT. Too bling IMO. At least the older Motors manages to be fairly restrained (if that's possible in a 48mm polished watch! ). I sure as hell won't be swapping my Motors or 6.75 for a thicker bezeled model any time soon.Looking at the fitting site, there's no original Motors or T, so I can only assume the Speed models are replacements for the originals.

Not that I have seen... then again, I've not looked for it. |
