Breitling Premier: Dress Chronographs with Heritage Roots

Originally introduced in the 1940s, the Breitling Premier line was revived to honor the brand's legacy of refined timekeeping with a focus on elegance and urban sophistication. Unlike Breitling's tool-oriented collections, Premier watches prioritize balance, proportion, and vintage styling — with complications and movements worthy of modern collectors. From the high-performance B01 in-house chronograph to the triple-calendar Datora and simple automatics, each Premier model represents Breitling's commitment to elevating everyday watchwear.

The Breitling Premier collection revives the brand's heritage in refined chronographs with designs inspired by the original Premier models of the 1940s. A departure from Breitling's rugged aviation timepieces, the Premier family is tailored, precise, and urbane — ideal for collectors seeking chronometric excellence with timeless style. The current lineup spans in-house chronographs, calendar watches, and three-hand automatics, all offered in well-proportioned cases and sophisticated colorways.

Premier B01 Chronograph

The Premier B01 Chronograph is powered by Breitling's in-house B01 movement — a COSC-certified column wheel chronograph with a 70-hour power reserve. This version features a classic panda dial layout, vintage-inspired pushers, and polished casework that recalls mid-century dress chronographs.

Premier 42 Automatic Chronograph

The Premier 42 Automatic Chronograph blends function and simplicity. Featuring a Breitling caliber 13 movement with a date complication and a 42mm case, this model is sporty enough for daily wear yet refined enough for professional settings.

Premier Automatic Models

For minimalists, the Premier Automatic delivers clean design with no subdials or complications beyond time and date. The example in rose gold pairs classical aesthetics with modern finishing, making it a strong option for formal occasions or understated luxury.

Premier 40 B09 Manual Chronograph

The Premier 40 B09 Chronograph is a manual-wind watch inspired by the earliest Breitling Premier references. Featuring the in-house B09 movement, it offers a compact case size and a heritage pistachio green dial for vintage enthusiasts seeking modern reliability.

Premier 42 Datora Triple Calendar

The Premier 42 Datora reintroduces a classic triple-calendar layout with chronograph function and moonphase display. This copper-dial variant brings warm color tones to a historically significant complication, all powered by the B25 automatic movement.

Premier vs. Chronomat

The Chronomat leans more toward tool-watch aesthetics with rider tabs and integrated bracelets, originally developed for jet pilots. By contrast, the Premier is Breitling's most classically styled collection — with polished bezels, leather straps, and vintage references throughout. Premier models are slimmer and more traditional, while Chronomats cater to performance-driven wearers.
