Unveiled at Baselworld 2008, the new Breitling Bentley GMT measures a whopping 49 mm in diameter. It is not the largest watch on the market, but definitely on the larger end. It features hours, minutes, small seconds, date, chronograph and a 24 hour second time zone. It is equipped with Breitling Caliber 47B, which is a 38-jewel movement. It is like all Breitling models, a certified COSC chronometer.

The contrasting red triangle hand moves around the dial every 24 hours, while the rotating bezel features the names of 24 cities representing 24 time zones around the world. The chronograph central hand moves around the dial every 30 seconds.

The Bentley GMT is available in an 18k red gold case (pictured above) or a steel case. The dial is available in black (pictured above), silver or bronze. The chronograph dials are 6-hour, 15-minute and 60-second counters placed at 6, 9 and 3 o'clock. The crystal is a convex sapphire and is treated with an anti-reflective coating on both sides. It is 100 m water resistant. It comes with either a metal bracelet or a rubber strap. You do not see a lot of Breitlings with rubber straps, so this would be my choice.
