Breitling’s Latest Bentley Collaboration Is the Striking ‘GT Dark Sapphire’

Published: October 21, 2017 | By: American Luxury Staff

Bentley and Breitling have partnered to introduce a new GT watch. The two luxury brands introduced the Breitling Bentley GT Dark Sapphire Edition in time to celebrate the debut of the 2018 Bentley Continental GT, which was introduced at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show.

Dark Sapphire is a sleek, rugged and ultra-light timepiece thanks to Breitling’s proprietary “Breitlight” case material and a paired rubber strap. Breitlight is crafted from carbon polymer and offers super-light and ultra-durable case builds. Breitlight is also more resistant to the elements and scratching.

The 48mm case boasts diamond check accenting and a water resistance of up to 328 feet. The powerful Breitling movement is the Caliber B06, and it’s paired with a special 30-second chronograph with a sweeping central seconds hand.

Darker and more distinctly masculine than previous collaboration timepieces, the Dark Sapphire is designed to stand out, and like its partner vehicle, it makes an impression.

Limited to 500 examples, the Breitling Bentley GT “Dark Sapphire” Edition timepiece is available for $9,965.
