Does anyone know Breitling's road-map to incorporating its in-house movement into the B4B line?

I was driving home tonight and saw a billboard for a Breitling Bentley and thought to myself "wonder when they will put an in house calibre in a B4B." The motors would be a good start...3,6,9 chrono layout with a similarly placed date window as the Navi.

Given that Bentley and Breitling recently renewed their partnership I am sure that it is in the works, although that will doubtless push the pricing even higher on what is already an expensive range.

I've not heard of anything coming this year, but I'm sure that it's just amatter of time.

yeah the B4B is definitely not a cheap pice considering what it is. Great looking watch but you pay to own one. I wonder what kind of increase we would see if the 01 movement went over to this line.

breitling have a 5 year goal. this is to make all watches in house by 2016. i know that they are releasing 2 more in house variations next year and then 1 evrey year from that. so it will happen... just not right now, since they have just released there new barnato range (inwhich the "racing" version has an exhibition case back with a BEAUTIFULL rotor design) i dont this we will see any movement improvements till next year.
