Breitling Premier B01 Chronograph 42MM Steel & Black Leather Watch

Introducing six brand-new Premier models to the iconic Breitling watch collection, all updated with a heritage-inspired design and equipped with the Breitling Manufacture Calibre 01. Their launch coincides with a new book chronicling the genesis of Breitling’s most collectible chronograph. 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. This timepiece is the Premier B01 Chronograph in black. Starting with its round, 42MM stainless steel case, the eye-catching black dial is highlighted by coordinating black chronograph counters at 3 and 9 o'clock respectively, adding functionality to form. A balanced date aperture is located at the 6 o'clock position, keeping you punctual in your daily life. The large and distinctive Premier numeral indexes and hour and minute hands are steel-toned and set with a luminescent fill, for high visibility in the dark. The red-tipped second hand brings a touch of colour to the monochrome design; a minute track surrounds the outer edge, and a tachymeter scale is on-hand to measure distance based on speed. Complete with the iconic Breitling branding, ensuring the stamp of quality, the dial is protected with a cambered sapphire crystal glass cover, glare proofed on each side. Finished with a black alligator leather strap with black stitching and a folding clasp to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. Embark on a journey into the depth of the movement by observing through the transparent case back, revealing the self-winding, high-performance, chronometer-certified Breitling 01 Calibre, an automatic movement with an impressive power reserve of 70 hours. The ultimate statement watch which is filled with character and is complete with a five-year warranty, the Premier B01 Chronograph 42 has Breitling elegance worthy of the Premier name.
