I'm not a fan of that one. Only very marginally better than the "non-Bentley" Unitime IMO : the globe looks 10 times better on this one as it's not coloured like a child's globe, but dial looks too cluttered with the chronograph subdials, and that white boardered date window looks horrible. If a watch MUST have a 4.30 date window then at least try to keep it subtle.

Much better. Like the globe/world design.

Looks good. The black dial is much nicer than the white.

By looking a bit closer I've just noticed that the "sea" area of the globe has got the horrible "fishnet stocking" skeletonisation as well. Nothing but "visual noise" and clutter. Not for me I'm afraid.

Missed that, but you are absolutely right. That's a killer for sure - the full dial view in the configurator (and yes, I know that it's just a rendering) realy doesn't look good.

I think it still looks ok - especially compared to the rest of the new Bentley line. The 'fishnet' look is less pronounced.
