In the early 1940s, Willy Breitling was already envisioning a post-war era where practicality would give way to unbridled optimism. He set out to design a chronograph watch that was not only practical but also incredibly elegant, suitable for any occasion. This, he described as “unimpeachable taste,” and thus the Premier was born.
Fast forward to today, Breitling has retained those vintage design details in the modern Premier collection. You’ll find the smooth, fixed bezel, twin-register layout, streamlined rectangular pushers, and embossed Arabic numerals that harken back to its antique roots.
The Premier B01 Chronograph 42 offers a variety of dial color choices, powered by the in-house Caliber 01, an automatic mechanical movement that ticks at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. It boasts a non-screw-locked, two-gasket crown, sapphire crystal glass, and a calendar window, true to the original proportions and saturation. It comes with an authentic folding clasp that matches Breitling’s uncompromising technical standards, aiming for superior precision, reliability, and functionality.
The Premier B01 Chronograph 42 isn’t just a watch; it’s a piece of history reimagined for today’s discerning watch enthusiasts, ensuring you stand out with timeless sophistication.
