The new Continental Supersports develops a mighty 700bhp and 1,017Nm of torque, and features unique exterior and interior styling cues. These customised design elements have influenced the look of the Breitling for Bentley Supersports B55.
A titanium case – copied from the titanium exhaust option available on the Continental Supersports – provides a tactile reminder of the car’s performance. The lightweight case frames a dial in carbon fibre, a material widely used in the car. The watch comes with a double-layer red-edged and lined black rubber strap.
The watch features an electronic movement, the first time Breitling is using it. The Bentley Supersports B55 features a new version of Breitling’s B55 connected calibre, which includes a lap timer and electronic tachymeter.
It also has a "Chrono Rally" setting, which can record up to 30 rally stages, complete with the departure date, the start time and duration of each stage – as well as intermediate times for each stage – while automatically adding in any penalties incurred.
"Chrono Race" mode is designed for track races and enables the wearer to record the split times for each lap and calculate the average lap speed. The "Regularity Rally" function (useful in competitions in which the objective is to cover a given distance in a specified time) enables the wearer to predefine target times (or intermediate times) from the total, and then check at the press of a button whether these goals are being achieved.
An app has been created to allow owners to store and transmit all of the data recorded via a smartphone connection.
The connected watch features two LCD screens equipped with a backlighting system that can be activated by pressing the crown or by tilting the wrist.
