Breitling Bentley Mulliner Hands-On Review

What I really love though is the attention to detail in the finishing. This is the type of case you want to touch, there are lots of fun angles for your fingers to discover and there��s a nice contrast between the case and the bezel. On the wrist it is very comfortable, not to mention light and sits a lot flatter than I was expecting, which is definitely a big plus. Too often these days it seems that in their quest to fit more into a replica breitling Bentley Barnato watch brands are happy to compromise on thickness, which results in a watch that look great in the case but is extremely bulky on the wrist.

Thankfully that is not the case here, although the dial of the replica breitling Bentley GT (if you can call it a dial?) still has very much of a three-dimensional feel thanks to the use of http://www.speedroc.com/replica-breitling-chronomat-41.html��s trademark satellite complication to indicate the time. In many ways similar to the original UR-103, the Bentley uses rotating discs and a fixed 60-minute scale to indicate the time in a clear and concise manner. Unlike the UR-103 however this new model is far more subdued, with the focus more on the specific time display than the complex mechanism itself.

Don��t think this somehow makes it less impressive technically however. In fact it is the exact opposite thanks to the inclusion of the circular PEEK (PolyEtherEthercetone) canopy over the top of the satellite complication. Whilst the openings enhances the current hour making it even easier to read the time, this canopy has to rotate precisely in time with the movement to ensure accuracy is maintained, which means it must weigh next to nothing whilst still maintaining its structural integrity.

On the back of watch you will find Breitling��s signature ��Control Board��, which houses additional displays and functions: an ��Oil Change�� indicator alerting when it is time for a service; a 42-hour power reserve indicator; plus the fine-tuning screw allowing adjustment of the rate. What I really like though is that the brand has cleverly included two additional windows into the caseband, one for displaying the small seconds and the other to allow you to quickly see the remaining power without having to take the watch off. They��re small touches to be sure but it just gives the Bentley that something extra you wouldn��t normally expect to find in an ��entry-level�� watch.

There are two versions of the new Bentley available, the GT with a titanium case and steel bezel, and the Mulliner, also with a titanium case but with an AlTin treated steel bezel. Pricing for the GT is 57��000 CHF (approx. US$64,500), whilst the Mulliner will run you 63��000 CHF (approx. US$71,500).
