The Breitling Bentley GT collection emerged from a celebrated partnership between Breitling and the luxury car manufacturer Bentley Motors, initiated in 2002. These watches embody the spirit of grand touring – powerful, luxurious, and precision-engineered.
The 'GT' in the name signifies 'Grand Tourer,' reflecting the watches' association with Bentley's high-performance coupé. Key design elements draw inspiration directly from Bentley cars, such as knurled bezels reminiscent of Bentley grilles and dashboards, and dials that often echo automotive instrumentation. The collection is characterised by its robust cases, intricate chronographs, and a distinctive, elegant-sporty aesthetic.
It represents a fusion of British automotive luxury and Swiss horological mastery, making each Breitling Bentley GT a statement piece for enthusiasts of both brands.
The Breitling Bentley GT series stands out with its distinctive features and sophisticated engineering. Each watch typically houses a COSC-certified chronometer movement, ensuring unparalleled accuracy. Common calibres include Breitling's B06 chronograph movement, often featuring a unique '30-second chronograph' system.
Key characteristics:
Case: Robust stainless steel, often available in larger diameters, with some models in precious metals like rose gold.
Bezel: Bidirectional rotating bezel, often with a circular slide rule or a specific Bentley-inspired knurled finish.
Dial: Available in various colours, frequently featuring intricate sub-dials and applied indices, designed for maximum legibility.

While specific 'GT' models have evolved, the spirit of powerful elegance remains constant. Look for models within the larger Bentley collection that feature the GT designation, known for their chronograph functionality and distinctive design cues.
The price of a second hand Breitling Bentley GT in the UK is influenced by several key factors. Understanding these helps in making an informed purchase or sale.
