Breitling Premier B01 Chronograph 42

Description

The Story

Designed by Willy Breitling in the 1940s, the Premier was the brand’s first-ever watch dedicated purely to style. Featuring elegant details and modern-retro touches, this reinterpretation of the Premier upholds its ancestor’s reputation as “a watch of impeccable taste.” On top of its rectangular chronograph pushers and bi-compax chronograph panda look, the Premier displays a variety of elegant design details such as grooves on the case-side and open sapphire caseback. The Premier B01 Chronograph 42 is available in an array of dial colors and with case materials that include stainless steel and 18k red gold. Offered either with a matching bracelet, or a choice of alligator or nubuck calfskin leather strap, this Premier is powered by the in-house Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, a COSC-certified chronometer.
