The Premier collection originally appeared in the 1940s as Breitling’s elegant chronograph line, created to offer refined everyday wear rather than purely aviation-focused functionality. While the brand became widely associated with pilot’s watches, the Premier stood apart with its balanced proportions, clean dials, and understated sophistication aimed at professionals seeking both precision and style.
Decades later, the Premier series was revived to showcase classic chronograph watchmaking paired with modern manufacture movements, most notably the in-house Calibre B01. This reintroduction preserved the vintage-inspired aesthetic - including smooth bezels and neatly integrated pushers - while enhancing reliability, power reserve, and chronometer-certified accuracy.
The Bentley collaboration added a distinctive automotive dimension, incorporating design cues inspired by grand touring cars, subtle Bentley branding, and refined dial textures. These elements reflect a shared commitment to precision engineering, performance, and luxury craftsmanship, positioning the Premier B01 Chronograph 42 Bentley as a blend of heritage watchmaking and contemporary automotive influence.
