Breitling for Bentley Breitling is usually associated with aviation, but the connection to an earthbound but equally audacious mode of transportation was irresistible. Two companies with winged “B” logos, two companies with a loyal set of customers. The four Breitling for Bentley models: Bentley Motors, GT, 6.75, and Mulliner, bear the hallmarks of both manufacturers. Their format is extra-large, their inspiration the knurled finish of the car’s controls and the engine-turned dashboard panels. The Swiss watch company also designed the face of the instruments and the analog clock that sits in the dash of the Continental GT, the most powerful Bentley road car. Chopard Mille Miglia Chopard celebrates the historic 1000-mile rally with its series of Racing Colors watches. The dials of the chronographs bear the traditional colors of Grand Prix teams based on their nationalities, as dictated by regulations in the earliest days of racing. English fans can opt for British Racing Green; then there’s red for Italy, blue for France, silver for Germany and yellow for Belgium. The strap is natural rubber featuring the profile of the Dunlop racing tire tread from the 1960s. Only 1000 pieces per color will be made, all with titanium cases and chronometer certifications. The watch company has actively supported the retrospective version of the famous race since 1988. Girard-Perregaux Pour Ferrari The Swiss company has been making watches since 1791. In 1993, Girard-Perregaux signed a co-branding agreement with Ferrari and created a limited series of split-second chronographs stamped with the Prancing Horse. In July 1996, the company launched Pour Ferrari F50, commemorating the Italian car manufacturer's 50th anniversary, in front of five hundred guests and 127 classic Ferraris. On the occasion of Ferrari victories in the Formula 1 World Championships, GP dedicates a collection of chronographs named "Pour Ferrari F1 World Champion" to the constructor from Maranello. Steel, titanium, or even “red” gold are the materials of choice for this watch. Omega Speedmaster Take one successful watchmaker, one Formula One racer with a prominent chin, five world championships since their tie-up, then stir. The result is a series of chronometers that define precision. The officially-certified chronometers feature scratch-resistant sapphire crystal faces, with 100 meters water resistance. The watch is also famous as the only one to be worn on the moon. Specialized models bearing the checkered flag symbol and with carbon-fiber faces are part of the Speedmaster collection. |
