A few weeks ago, I had the chance to see the Bentley Centenary Premier in the metal, and instantly fell in love with this piece. So, Santa has come early this year, before this limited edition disappears.
Words really cannot describe the beauty of this Premier -- it is simply stunning. And, in that sense, this is not just simply a very nice Breitling -- it is a very nice watch, period, bar none.
As Fred has pointed out, each dial in this limited edition is different, given the nature of the burl elm. The pattern and shading of the wood dial is just extraordinary. On my particular piece, the date window is surrounded by a darker swirl of burl -- so, the effect is that the outline of the date window disappears, and the date seems to magically appear in the center of a knot in the wood. Really cool.
The strap is beautiful, as well, and sets off the dial nicely.
All in all, I can't give Breitling enough kudos for bringing this piece to life...
I have to say, on the wrist, the effect of the date peeking out from the wood is really something!
