The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Courtesy of Timezone:

The sculpted steel Bentley Supersports special limited edition of 1,000 features a knurled bezel reminiscent of Bentley’s control buttons. Under this powerful sporty chassis throbs an exclusive Breitling for Bentley motor, a COSC-certified chronometer movement with a centre 60-minute counter. This unique system also has a 12-hour counter at 9 o’clock and a central scale for the hundredths of an hour or minutes. Along with the traditional fixed tachometer, the “dashboard” dial also has a variable tachometer with a circular slide rule. Unlike standard tachometers, which can only record measurements over 60 seconds, this exclusive Breitling invention can measure average speeds over any length of time, as well as the distance covered and the maximum speed attained.

Well I don't not like it, but if this is the biggest thing in the Bentley line this year, well ho hum.

I love how it looks, but I hate its dimensions. I wish it was under 45mm.

I must be honest, but I thought I was going hate this watch after seeing the original moody, shadowed publicity shot on here a few days ago, BUT............ I actually really like it! I think it's the best looking Bentley in a LONG time!

As usually with Breitling at the moment (and this is broken record time), it REALLY irritates me that it's not got a variant of the B01 inside it, but that aside I really like it. I'm sure the RRP will be on the wrong side of stupid when it's released, especially for a non-in-house equiped model, but I am actually very VERY tempted by it nonetheless.

The new SO was OK, but this is genuinely the first new thing I've seen from Breitling (probably since the Navi World came out) that I really fancy owning!

I love it. Too bad the size is just south of of a wall clock. It would never work on my wrist. Oh wait, that is probably a good thing for me. Whew, off the hook!

It's ok - but i'm disappointed they didn't find a nice case for a B01.

Love it!!!! Would need to go to the gym to lift it!!!!

Nice. Best looking Bentley imo, but its a bit too big for my chicken wrist.

Love it. A lot. Hands down my favorite Bentley. Agree with Alex - love the hands they used on the subs.

Thank god it's a.) probably too big for me and b.) probably too expensive for me.

But I still hope there's something more exciting in store for breitling in 2010.

i like it. i think it looks a bit more sporty that just the regular motors. any idea on pricing??

like it...don't love it. I love the entire head/bracelet assy and the size, just not crazy about the dial. Now if I just wish I could get a GT dial in that head...

Not bad.
