Case #439 β Breitling Bentley 6.75 Speed Midnight Carbon Ref. M44364
Status: Active Investigation
Condition: Very Good Pre-Owned
Scope: Box, Papers, and Cards
Year: 2014
The Breitling Bentley 6.75 Speed Midnight Carbon Ref. M44364 is one of the more distinctive modern Breitling-for-Bentley pieces β bold, technical, and unmistakably tied to the automotive side of the brandβs history. The Midnight Carbon execution gives the watch a darker, more aggressive personality than the brighter Bentley references, while the rubber strap keeps the overall feel sporty and wearable.
What makes this reference especially compelling is its scarcity. This model was produced as a limited edition of only 1,000 pieces, and this example is number 334. That alone gives it a stronger collector angle than a standard production Breitling, but the appeal goes further because this is also a very complete set. Between the paperwork, books, and hangtag, it presents as the kind of fuller collector package that becomes harder to find as the years go on.
This example dates to 2014 and is presented in very good pre-owned condition. Overall, it shows light wear consistent with normal careful use. It includes box, papers, and cards, along with the hangtag and books, and is fitted on a rubber strap sized to fit up to approximately a 7.75-inch wrist.

The Breitling for Bentley line represents a specific chapter in modern Breitling history β one where the brand leaned fully into automotive-inspired design, larger cases, and a more dramatic visual identity. These watches were never subtle, and that is exactly the point. They were built to carry the same sense of scale and presence associated with Bentley itself.
The 6.75 Speed Midnight Carbon sits especially well within that story because it feels darker, rarer, and more focused than many of the brighter Bentley variants. It still has the bold case architecture and chronograph presence the line is known for, but with a more limited and more collector-driven personality.
The appeal here is rooted in rarity, completeness, and identity. A limited run of 1,000 pieces already puts this reference in a more desirable position than a standard production model, and being able to point specifically to No. 334 adds to that story. Just as important, this is a very complete collectorβs kit, including not only the core set but also the hangtag and books.
That kind of completeness matters on a limited watch like this. For a buyer looking for a Breitling-for-Bentley piece with real scarcity and a stronger presentation than the average surviving example, this is a particularly compelling package.
Recovered as a 2014 Breitling Bentley 6.75 Speed Midnight Carbon Ref. M44364. Very good pre-owned condition overall. Limited edition number 334 of 1000. Includes box, papers, cards, hangtag, and books. Fitted on rubber strap sized up to approximately a 7.75-inch wrist.
Case #439 is the kind of Bentley-era Breitling that feels special on paper and in hand. Between the limited production, darker Midnight Carbon execution, and especially complete collector package, this is a standout example of a watch that does not surface every day in this form.
π Every case deserves a closer look.
