When Bentley pulled the veils off the Bentayga SUV, several car enthusiasts across the world were amazed by its opulence and stylish looks. However, what we are about to reveal now may flabbergast many Bentley fans even more.
The British car marque through its media release has stated that its first ever SUV can be had with a highly rare timepiece that would be nestled right on the dash, between the air con vents. Several luxury car makers have a custom to equip their cars with analogue clocks to make their models feel more premium but Bentley has taken it a step further.
Bentley has fitted the Bentayga with a Mulliner Tourbillon Breitling watch. If you are a watch aficionado, you will know that this watch boasts of one of the most complex mechanisms in the world, and has a price tag which only a few can actually afford.
This masterpiece is machined in solid gold. Customers can select from two housings - either rose or white gold. There are also two choices for the watch's face for customers to choose from - mother-of-pearl or black ebony. Either way, the watch will be encrusted with eight diamonds in the face, which will act as indexes.
If you ever owned a timepiece with a similar mechanism, then you'll probably know that unless you wind it, it will stop at one point. When worn around the wrist, your body's natural movement will be making sure there's enough power reserve in there to keep things going but what if it is fixed on the dash of a car? Well, the Mulliner Tourbillon is automatically wound periodically by a dedicated high-precision winding mechanism within the car that will keep it going.
This is the first SUV offering from Bentley and they sure have succeeded in making it special. Talking about the Bentayga, Queen Elizabeth is the first owner of the the car. The Bentley Bentayga will go on sale officially in the international market immediately and is expected to reach the Indian shores in 2016.
