The story behind this Breitling Bentley B05 Unitime
The Breitling Bentley B05 Unitime AB0521 is the result of a technical partnership between the watch manufacturer and the British car manufacturer. Designed to make it easier to read time zones, it features a world time complication. The patented mechanism allows the wearer to adjust the local time, the reference city and the date by simply rotating the crown forwards or backwards, without interrupting the chronograph’s operation.
Case, movement and strap of this Bentley B05 Unitime
Crafted from a single block of stainless steel measuring 49 mm in diameter, the case features a knurled bezel inspired by car radiator grilles. This relief pattern frames a black dial adorned with a filigree globe. The display combines a two-tone 24-hour disc with a flange listing the world’s capital cities. Protected by a domed, anti-reflective sapphire crystal, the watch is water-resistant to 100 metres. The transparent case back reveals the Calibre B05, an automatic chronograph movement certified as a chronometer. Its oscillating weight is hollowed out to replicate the design of a wheel rim. This movement beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a power reserve of 70 hours. A black leather strap with white topstitching, fastened with a steel folding clasp, completes the ensemble.
Why this Breitling watch
This model is aimed at enthusiasts of legible mechanical complications. The combination of a in-house chronograph and universal time makes it a timepiece designed for travellers. Its 49 mm diameter makes a striking statement on the wrist. Its removal from the official catalogue has boosted its appeal on the second-hand market, offering the opportunity to acquire a technical timepiece that combines horological complexity with robustness for everyday wear.
