Breitling for Bentley Motors Speed
Posted by The Breitling Source under Breitling , Watch Industry News[2] Comments
The other new Release for Basel 2009 from Breitling is the new Breitling for Bentley Motors Speed. This is really just another Motors with a new dial. The new Black Velvet dial does look interesting, with the raised chrome edges around the subdials. While I like this model, I already have a Motors T (and previously a Motors), and this would be too much of a duplicate.
Very nice. Same specs as the Motors.

I bought the bronze on eBay and found it is a replica through this site. I appreciate being able to determine it for sure. This one is a gorgeous copy except that the subdials are wrong (6, 12, 18 and 24 on the right dial; 15, 30, 45 and 60 on the bottom dial; and 20, 40 and 60 on the left dial). It keeps excellent time, though. I bought it hoping to get a better price for resale, but don’t suppose I can now that I know it is a replica and will need to advertise it as such. It may have a genuine band (leather) on it, though, since it is stamped in, not just printed, and seems to be otherwise correct. If anyone does know whether a true Speed Six ever had this dial configuration, can you please post that here? (Grasping at straws, I know.)
