Breitling for Bentley Mark VI Silver

In Context

At 42 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. At 16.3 mm it is very tall, and sits high off the wrist. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 100 m is genuine swimming resistance — more than the shape of this watch suggests it would need.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 42 hours of reserve carries it overnight, but not through a weekend in a drawer. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

P2636212.G611 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a silver dial with a platinum, stainless steel case.

ETA 2892 based chronograph with two subdials (small seconds, minute totalizer) and date.
