Got an email today detailing this new LE

To celebrate Bentley’s launch of the new Continental GT, an even more sophisticated and powerful coupé, Breitling for Bentley is taking to the road with an exclusive version of its Bentley GMT chronograph. Issued in a 1,000-piece worldwide edition, this limited series is distinguished by its inner bezel and rubber strap clad in the famous British Racing Green colour characteristic of the finest English racing cars. Equipped with an ingenious multiple timezone display system, it proudly serves as an international ambassador of the time-honoured British automobile tradition.

Green and red, just in time for the holiday season. It's not bad, but I think it would look better with just a black strap. They should make some sort of leather option for this model, a croc strap would look nice.

Whats with all these colors? If I wanted a colorful watch I would buy a G Shock, All these colors are making Breitling seem cheap ,and gimmicky.

I can't believe that I'm saying this but I kinda like it. The green is on there for an actual reason, the whole racing thing which makes sense, and the red reminds me of the hands on a Tach in a car, so I get that too, plus the usual knurled bezel like the knobs in a Bentley. I'm not a fan of B4B's but I thing that this one is pretty cool, and with only 1000 being made it's almost a true LE.

The only thing I don't like is the GINORMOUS size at 49mm, just way too big for me. All that being said, there's no way in hell I'd buy it, just not really my style, but I think it's a helluva lot better than a couple of other LE's that we've seen lately.

Now if they had figured out how to stick a GMT in-house in it it would be even better, but what can you do.

Looks awesome to me. The green strap might be a bit much though.

The funny thing is I actually like the green (for once!), but I still don't like the watch. It's a Bentley on steriods - just way too big in every way IMO.

^yea for those of us with monster wrists... I don't even think the diameter of my wrist in total is 49, sucks being skinny :/

I also don't understand why only 3/4 of the arrow is red?

if i were to ever "double up" and get another gmt i would go with the midnight carbon over this any day of the week...

the green band makes it a little too over the top IMHO :?
