A souped up Bentley Continental GTC Supersport car just set a new speed record driving over ice at a speed of about 205 mph. Sponsor Breitling's name was emblazoned across the side of the car, while the driver was wearing a new light weight Breitling for Bentley watch. For a few years now Breitling for Bentley watches represented not sport, but more bling timepieces for the popular Swiss watch brand. Coming up soon is a more sport-themed Breitling for Bentley watch model with the Supersport Light Body Chronograph watch.

There aren't many Breitling watches done in titanium. The only one I can think of off the top of my mind is the famous Aerospace models. This new titanium model is likely to be about 45mm wide with an automatic COSC Chronometer certified chronograph movement inside. The red and black motif of the dial is sporty, and becoming of the design. To keep things light, the watch will come on a black rubber strap. It looks as thought Breitling may have used titanium hour markers on the dial - though they might be steel that has been color matched to the titanium of the case. Like many Breitling watches, this one has a rotating slide rule bezel - a function you'll never use if driving fast. Look for this cool looking Breitling for Bentley Supersport Light Body Chronograph watch out soon.
