To celebrate the launch of the Continental GT V8 with its powerful new 4.0 V8 engine, Breitling has created a 250-piece limited series of the Bentley GMT chronograph.

Its distinguishing feature is the mobile inner bezel in a metallic red shade which depicts 24 cities for the GMT (second time zone) function.

You will notice that the dial is equipped with an red triangle-tipped hour hand (see below) — this hand completes one rotation every 24 hours.

That allows the user to instantly read off the time in all the world’s timezones in relation to that shown by the 24-hour hand.

Movement is the Swiss automatic Breitling caliber 47B with 38 jewels, 28,800 vph and a power reserve of 48 hours.

The selfwinding chronograph movement, chronometer-certified by the COSC, offers another technical asset exclusive to the Breitling for Bentley collection:

A 30-second chronograph with a sweep seconds hand making one full turn of the dial in half a minute and thus enabling readings accurate to the nearest 1/8th of a second.

The Breitling for Bentley GMT V8 is a limited edition of 250 pieces priced at $10,590.
