In the early 1940s, Willy Breitling envisioned a post-war world where practicality would give way to an unbound optimism. He sought to design a chronograph watch that was not just functional but also exuded utmost elegance, suitable for any occasion. He aptly named it ‘Premier’, representing ‘impeccable taste’ in his words.

Today, when crafting the modern Premier series, Breitling has retained the design heritage of the original models. Admire the smooth fixed bezel, the dual sub-dials, streamlined rectangular buttons, and the sculptural Arabic numerals that echo the past while embracing the future.

The Premier B01 Chronograph 42 offers a selection of vibrant dial colors and is powered by the in-house manufactured Caliber 01. This automatic self-winding mechanical movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. The crown is non-screw-locked, featuring two gaskets for added security, with the dial window made from sapphire crystal.

A date window, faithful in scale and saturation to the original, enhances its functionality. The original folding clasp remains, symbolizing an uncompromising standard of engineering aimed at achieving superior accuracy, reliability, and operability.
