Story & heritage
The Premier line goes back to the early 1940s, when Willy Breitling imagined chronographs that kept the brand’s technical utility but added elegance for life after wartime. Official Breitling copy frames Premier as the point where purpose became style.
The modern Premier B01 Chronograph 42 preserves that idea with a cleaner bicompax dial, polished case details and a leather strap that reads more salon than cockpit.
Materials & craft
This Premier B01 Chronograph 42 uses a 42 mm stainless-steel case, alligator leather strap, cambered sapphire crystal glareproofed on both sides, and Breitling’s Caliber 01 manufacture self-winding chronograph with an approximately 70-hour power reserve. The model is rated to 10 bars.
How to choose & style
Premier is the Breitling to choose when elegance matters. Blue on leather is dressy without becoming precious; black and cream dials feel more vintage. It pairs naturally with tailoring, knit polos, wool coats and polished shoes, while still carrying enough chronograph hardware for casual wear.
