There seem to be a few people on the forum that don't like the Bentley line. I'm wondering why. To me, the dial is clearly inspired by the Navitimer. They made it more contemporary, improved the case, threw a gnarled bezel on it. It's has strong Breitling DNA in its design. Is it the size they don't like? The Bentley name?

I don't see how the Navitimer World gets a free ride. It's big and flashy too. Maybe because the word "Navitimer" appears in its name and the word "Bentley" is absent from the dial. Just guessing.


I agree. The black dial on my Motors T reminds me of the Navi dial.

My Mark VI isn't as big or flashy, buy you're right, because it's a Bentley, it doesn't get much love. I think it's a beauty!!!

Since I bought my 6.75 it's become my daily wearer. I love the fit and finish on these Bentley models and there is nothing wrong with that! The Motors T is a beauty with the machined bezel, may be my next piece!


Matt, Once, I put a knurled bezel on my Motors T. Not bad! I switched back since. One of the benefits of Iced out Breitlings, is that there are bezels floating around for sale. :lol:

Damn guys, I am jelly! Nice pics!

Can't wait to get one of these in the collection. Wanting the bronze dial 6.75, but I won't be picky…whatever is on a good deal at that time will probably land on my wrist.

Just waiting patiently for my Super Avenger to arrive :)

I have to say it's good to see this thread as Bentleys have slipped off the BreitlingSource radar a bit over recent years. Yes I know some can be quite bling, but some are really great watches, and they have a superb fit if you have a reasonable sized wrist.

Good to see so many still in the wild!

The knurled bezel looks good, but the machine turned bezel is part of the reason I like the T so much. The dial on the Mark VI is great too, nice pics!

Nice.. Is that a new piece? I tried one on and was shocked how light it was for its size. Also, the dial is so "in your face" close the the crystal. The silver painted hands are cool too.

I have the motors and the 6.75. I fell in love with the Bentley line when I walked into the breitling store in st Thomas. Came home with one, and quickly bought another. Now a days I'm a little less flashy and I'm looking to add something to my collection that isn't as eye popping. The Bentley line sure catch peoples attention though.

Yes. Just got this one. The Supersports is noticeably thinner than the 6.75. I was surprised that a 49mm watch would fit beneath my shirt cuff.

I really don't, lol. I just had them both downstairs, to put the bracelet on, (I also have leather straps for each). And too make transport easier, I put one on each hand before I put them upstairs. Before I left I snapped a quick pick of each.
