Bentley Barnato 42 Midnight Carbon by Breitling: a watch for champions
The famous watch company Breitling has introduced a new watch model Bentley Barnato 42 Midnight Carbon, whose release is dedicated to the most famous of the “Bentley Boys” team - a sports car Bentley Barnato, winning five races of the Le Mans 24 Hours Race in the period from 1924 to 1930.
Presented in a limited quantity of 1,000 items, the novelty is fully dressed in deep black - a steel case with carbon coating, an "icy" black dial and a rubber strap. Dashboard design is used in the external drawing of the chronograph indicators and speedometer mounted on the inner bezel.
Large bezel allows clearly highlighting the fluted pattern resembling the Breitling’s car lattices. The case in diameter of 42 mm and water resistant up to 100 meters is equipped with a screwed crown at 3 o'clock position, surrounded by buttons of the chronograph function. On the top, a convex double anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the case.
