The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Just received from Breitling news so no doubt headed for many inboxes......

A black-clad sports model

Barnato. The name of the most famous among the "Bentley Boys", the men engaged in a passionate pursuit of victories and accomplishments that included winning the Le Mans 24 Hours Race no less than five times between 1924 and 1930. Also the name of an exceptional chronograph combining superlative style with peerless performance. Breitling for Bentley now interprets this sporty model in a 1,000-piece limited edition entirely clothed in black – from the case made of a steel that is the color of night thanks to a highly resistant carbon-based treatment, through the dial to the supple and sturdy rubber strap. The "instrument panel" appearance is reinforced by the chromed steel-rimmed counters, the red accents and a tachometric scale on the inner bezel. The generous size of the bezel heights the effect of the elegant raised knurled motif inspired by the famous Bentley radiator grilles. The large hour-markers and the oversized hands enhanced by a luminescent coating guarantee easy reading of the time in any circumstances, even in the heat of action. This ardent and sophisticated sports model is powered by a selfwinding chronograph movement chronometer-certified by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute) – the ultimate token of precision and reliability. Bentley Barnato 42 Midnight Carbon: the stuff of a champion.

I quite like it, good size too. Shame it will no doubt be out of my price range.

ok clearly we all know the black out dlc and pvc coating is "played out". however i think that this all black piece suits this watch. at 42mm this will be a very sharp looking sports watch.

I like it, it's a hot looking sport watch. Interesting looking rubber strap, curious if it comes with a black OR Deploy or tang. Not a bad release.

The close sub-dials make it have a quartz like look to it, overall it looks nice, but not amazing, but still nice in my opinion.

Eat Wheaties and wear this watch, there is no stopping a person. Breakfast of champions with the stuff champions are made of.

I know the black has been done a million times, but I think this one actually looks quite nice and I like the smaller Bentley size as well.

nice... but not for me

It's the same style strap that comes on the Bentley Supersports Series. I tried it on once but forget what kind of clasp it was. Here's how the Breitling Website describes it: "Rubber strap, steel pushbutton folding clasp."

Does this work for you? I like the watch but I ain't too sure about the red detailing and the rbber strap. I think this is the only ling I have seen that, in my opinion, screams out for a diamond bezel. The more I look at the pics, the more I dislike it I think.

Totally agree with you, dislike the red detail and the rubber strap. This definitely is the kind of watch I expect to see 'iced out'.
