In the early 1940s, Willy Breitling had a vision for a watch that would embody the era of unbridled optimism following the war. He embarked on designing a chronograph that was both practical and supremely elegant, suitable for any occasion. He called it ‘Premier’—a testament to impeccable taste.

Fast forward to today, and Breitling has beautifully preserved the design ethos of the vintage Premier watches in their modern lineup. The Premier B01 Chronograph 42 retains classic features like a sleek fixed bezel, dual sub-dials, streamlined rectangular buttons, and bold Arabic numerals. It offers a range of dial colors and boasts the in-house 01 caliber, an automatic winding mechanical movement with a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour.

The watch features a non-screw-locked crown with two gaskets and a sapphire crystal glass, while the date window mirrors the original in size and saturation. The pièce de résistance is its folding clasp, symbolizing an uncompromising commitment to precision, reliability, and functionality.

With its seamless blend of vintage charm and modern technology, the Premier B01 Chronograph 42 is more than just a timepiece; it’s a statement of style and sophistication. Whether you’re a watch connoisseur or simply someone who appreciates fine craftsmanship, this watch is a timeless addition to any collection.
