If you think Breitling is a one-trick pony, think again.

Breitling first started manufacturing the Premier line of chronographs as early as the 1940s. With triple chronograph registers and blued hands, they're an exercise in understated elegance. In fact, one could almost say they're dress watches.

In 2018, the Georges Kern-helmed brand relaunched the Premier collection in an attempt to — as Mr. Kern put it — “fish in a bigger pond.” And indeed, these dressier pieces are available in various sizes, with various dials, and with various complications. One of the standouts, to our mind, also features one of its most unconventional dials…

This particular Premier, a B01 Chronograph 42 made exclusively for Watches of Switzerland, was released 2020. Coming in at 42mm in diameter, it feature a fantastic, stainless steel case with stepped flanks, a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, dual ‘cushion’ pushers, and a polished bezel. Inside you'll find a crisp, luminous satin silver dial with applied indices, recessed navy blue sub registers, an outer navy blue tachymeter scale, a 6 o'clock date window, and a matching handset.

Powered by Breitling's Calibre B01 automatic winding movement, this beautiful piece comes paired to a signed navy blue alligator strap with a signed stainless steel deployant clasp.

Limited to just 150 unite worldwide, this piece is one heck of a value considering its in-house movement, long pedigree, and handsome design.

In fact, for a company that specialized in business-first tool watches, we think it’s an absolute home run!
