number of their bike . Sure , there are cheaper ways to get a cool watch to match your ride , but is there a cooler way ? The Breitling edition Speed Twin itself is its own work of art taking inspiration from both the Breitling watches but also a rather iconic Triumph - that being the legendary blue Triumph Thunderbird 6T ridden by Marlon Brando in ‘ The Wild One ’. Colour was matched with a spectrograph on an original 1950s Triumph factory paint sample book and a mint condition colour chip of the original Thunderbird paint . The Polychromatic Blue is a custom mixed colour , hand masked and painted with a matching jet black stripe and Breitling script . This unique limited edition scheme is complemented by hand painted detailing applied by lead Triumph paint team artist Gary Devine , and a jet black side panel and headlamp bowl .
Along with the special custom paint , the Breitling Speed Twin also gains a host of special nods to the watchmaker with billet machined aluminium clutch and alternator embellishers , plus a perforated black leather seat - all with the Breitling logo included . The Breitling Speed Twin doesn ’ t just get a swanky paint job and call it a day , with premium rear shocks coming courtesy of Öhlins , while the clocks have also seen a stylish upgrade . As per Triumph tradition , each of the bikes comes with an individually numbered handlebar clamp and each of them will come with a one-of-a-kind certificate of authenticity , carrying the signature of Triumph Motorcycles ’ CEO Nick Bloor and Georges Kern , CEO of Breitling . With only one bike officially slated to head our way , if you see it in the wild make sure you check the owner ’ s wrist to make sure they went all in on this stylish Triumph .
