  | For Rob: Crewe's Chrono: Breitling for Bentley Flying B Chronograph  The crossover world of automotive timepieces is not short of mouthwateringly stylish examples, but some stand out more than others. Top 10 Car Watches featured the Breitling Flying B, a supremely stylish (and expensive) rectangular-faced wristwatch. The partnership between Breitling and Bentley has now given birth to a variation arguably even more stylish: the Flying B Chronograph. The chrono features the same elegant shape as its unconventional conventional counterpart, but the face has been redesigned to accommodate the split-second timing sub-dials of the automatic chronograph movement. Its center features the same striking knurled metal finish you'll find on the switchgear of the most exclusive Bentleys (and surrounding the face on the aforementioned standard Flying B), graced with three square dials for timing functions and art-deco mother-of-pearl hour indicators. In place of Bentley's usual 6.75-liter V8 or twin-turbo W12, the luminescent hands are motivated by Breitling's COSC-certified, 38-jewl Calibre 44B movement. The Flying B chronograph will be officially unveiled – in steel, white gold or rose gold – at the Baselworld watch show in November, after which it will likely sell for considerably more than its $10,000 counterpart...in true Bentley form. |

| Re: For Rob: Crewe's Chrono: Breitling for Bentley Flying B Chronograph Oh a new Breitling for Bentley watch. Looks a bit different from the current ones. I love the looks of the Chronograph buttons. Despite that I would never buy it. |

| Re: For Rob: Crewe's Chrono: Breitling for Bentley Flying B Chronograph Nice!  I thought I prefer round design instead of rectangular but I'm not that sure anymore. |
