Case and Dial Construction
The watch features a substantial 46 mm diameter case manufactured in 18K yellow gold, characterized by a three-body construction with polished surfaces and lapidated lugs. The design incorporates a bidirectional rotating bezel specifically engineered to operate an integrated slide-rule function. The case back is screwed down and includes embossed details, specifically the Bentley logo and additional edition markings, protecting the interior components beneath a sapphire crystal.
The bicolor dial is finished in silver and champagne tones, providing high contrast for the applied yellow gold indices and luminous square dots. Functional elements include three subsidiary registers for seconds, 12-hour, and 30-minute timing, alongside an outer tachometer scale. A double aperture at the three o'clock position displays the day and date, while luminous yellow gold baton hands indicate the time.
