BREITLING for Bentley Flying B N°3

Posted on by

While presented in a slightly smaller size, the Flying B N°3 features all the harmonious elegance and daring of the rectangular Flying B case. However, it shows a completely difference face thanks to an entirely redesigned dial. This epitome of art and fine craftsmanship is protected and highlighted by a finely bevelled sapphire crystal that is glareproofed on both sides.

The hour-markers and the Roman numeral XII with their mother-of-pearl inlays provide a radiant surround for the knurled central motif. The two large hands mark off the hours and minutes with considerable panache. The small seconds hand sweeps around a hollowed square subdial, while the date is clearly visible in a finely cut-out double-date calendar.

At the heart of this paragon of balance and refinement beats the new Breitling Calibre 16B, accompanied by an official COSC chronometer-rating certificate, like all movements emerging from the Breitling workshops.The Flying B N°3 is available in steel as well as in red or white gold.
