Object description

Case and Dial

The timepiece is housed in a large, brushed, three-body titanium case featuring lapidated lugs. Designed for functional interaction, the watch includes a bi-directional rotating bezel that operates an integrated slide-rule system. The screwed-down case back is embossed with the Bentley logo, while the screw-down crown ensures water resistance. The sapphire crystal protects a two-tone black and green dial.

The dial layout displays applied steel indexes supplemented by luminous square dots for visibility. Subsidiary registers include indicators for seconds, 12-hour recording, and a combined 60-minute register. The outer rim contains revolving slide-rule graduations, while the date is shown through an aperture positioned at 6 o'clock. The hands comprise luminous steel baton markers, accompanied by two central chronograph hands for the tracking of seconds and minutes.
