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 appied 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 Cailber 01-designed for maximum precision, reliability and functionality.
