In the early 1940s, Willy Breitling was already dreaming of a time after the war, when utility would give way to unbridled optimism. He began designing a chronograph that would be functional but also undeniably elegant and infinitely wearable—in his words, “the unmistakable stamp of impeccable taste.” He called this new line the Premier. To create its modern Premier, Breitling preserved distinctive vintage-Premier details, including the smooth fixed bezel, twin-register dial, streamlined rectangular pushers and applied Arabic numerals.
The Premier B01 Chronograph 42 is available in an array of dial colors and case materials. It comes on a choice of classic alligator leather strap or sleek 7-row metal bracelet. Today’s Premier also lives up to Willy Breitling’s uncompromising technical standards with its exceptional self-winding movement—the COSC-certified Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01—designed for maximum precision, reliability and functionality.

THE UNMISTAKABLE STAMP OF IMPECCABLE TASTE
Whilst dreaming of a time after the war in the early 1940s, Willy Breitling designed a chronograph that would be functional but also undeniably elegant and infinitely wearable. The result was the Premier collection – the unmistakable stamp of impeccable taste.
Retaining the distinctive characteristics of the vintage Premier models, this modern take on the collection features a smooth fixed bezel, twin-register dial, streamlined rectangular pushers, and applied Arabic numerals.
DISTINCTIVE COPPER DIAL
This sophisticated timepiece sits confidently in a 42mm stainless steel case, framed by a smooth bezel, and secured with a rich brown alligator leather strap.
A contemporary take on a classic design, the distinctive copper dial is equipped with two chronograph sub-dials, a date display at 6 o’clock, and silver-tone Arabic numerals, all framed by a tachymeter scale for measuring distance over time.
Alongside flawless styling, uncompromising reliability and precision come courtesy of the COSC-certified Breitling Manufacture Calibre 01 movement with a 70-hour power reserve.
