Breitling for Bentley is a Breitling-branded derivative line developed in collaboration with Bentley, which began in 2003. It featured dedicated designs reflecting Bentley’s automotive styling, such as grille patterns and dashboard clock designs, and specifications primarily targeting automotive enthusiasts. It was developed using a design language distinct from Breitling’s existing collections. Following a review of the brand strategy, its treatment as a separate line under the same name was phased out, and the approach shifted to offering Bentley-related models as “Bentley editions” within existing collections.
