Breitling and Bentley Collaborate on B06 Midnight Carbon Watch

Published: June 23, 2016 | By: American Luxury Staff

High-end automaker Bentley is synonymous with the word luxury. Now the luxe brand has paired with Breitling to produce an elegant new timepiece.

The watch pays homage to years of Bentley’s automotive excellence. Watchmaker Breitling brought its storied expertise to the creation of the collaborative timepiece. Their creation, the B06 Midnight Carbon, is making its debut.

Based on Bentley’s B06, the Midnight Carbon edition watch features a steel case and bezel completely coated in a black carbon-based finish. Additionally, a black mother of pearl dial adds to the blacked-out aesthetic.

Of course, the knurled bezel is certainly in reference to the iconic grill that sits upon cars like the Flying Spur and the Mulsanne. On the back, the watch features a transparent caseback revealing an oscillating weight shaped like a wheel rim.

The B06 Midnight Carbon features a Manufacture Breitling Calibre B06 self-winding chronograph movement, a system to measure average speed over any amount of time, and a chronograph system that keeps the watch’s central hand sweeping around the dial in 30 seconds, which allows for 1/8th of a second time readings.

Bentley and Breitling’s newest brainchild is available for $12,500, and only 500 units will be created.
