My breitling was bought used no manual or slide rule triangle. It's a breitling Bentley motors SE. How on earth is this used. People tell me same as navitimer. However that is extreamly incorrect. Anyone know how to calculate?

I'm not at home so I can't look in my Bentley documentation : it's been so long since I looked at the docs I can't even remember if anything on the slide rule came with them.

However, the Bentley internal slide-rule is basically the same as on early Breitling Chronomats. This is an article (with scans at the bottom) on how to use those, so I guess the same applies to the Bentley.

There is no separate guide for the Bentleys, although it is covered in the manual. It's not a sliderule, it's actually a variable tachymeter.

There's not much online, although a little bit on Breitling's Bentley site (even though they don't seem to know the name of their own product) - http://www.breitlingforbentley.com/scri ... hp?lang=en

edit, Driver8 got there first.

Thanks guys that is the same I found. I am just going to hit the dealer up, let them show me. Even though I have no manual I couldn't beat the price I got It for, my cousin is a jeweler and he accepted it as a payment which was way less than what this masterpiece is worth he let me pay the payment and keep the watch!! He had no use hes a rolex guy and wouldnt sell it fast enough he sells diamonds like engagement rings and ear rings stuff like that. If anyone else has a little info don't hesitate to leave more replys!! Thanks in advance.
