Champion chronographs Breitling for Bentley is lining up two exceptional champions on the starting grid named in honour of the most famous of the Bentley Boys, Barnato, a multi-millionaire diamond merchant. Gifted sportsmen, authentic amateurs, often fabulously wealthy and irresistible charmers, the Bentley Boys raced first and foremost for honour, fired by a taste for challenges.
The Bentley Barnato and the Bentley Barnato Racing chronographs are distinguished by their peerless performances and out of the ordinary design. They feature ultra-sporty dials, including one with a highly original disc-type totalizer system. The open-worked shape of the silver-toned discs is also reminiscent of the steering wheels on the famous Bentley models that won the Le Mans 24 hours race five times between 1924 and 1930 – thanks to Barnato and the other Bentley Boys.
