Breitling and Watches of Switzerland celebrate a long-standing retail partnership with the launch of the new Breitling Premier B01 Chronograph 42.
Although the latest release deviates little from the current Premier design, the use of the colours and logo of the Watches of Switzerland Group result in a sharp-looking watch. The dial pairs a crisp silver finish with contrasting blue subdials and inverted blue and white tachymeter scale, while the printed Logo of the watches of Switzerland group decorates the sapphire caseback.
If the caseback stamp isn’t a seal of approval enough, each watch will be accompanied by certificate signed by Georges Kern, Breitling CEO and Brian Duffy, the Watches of Switzerland Group CEO. Beating inside you have Breitling’s dependable Calibre 1, an automatic COSC-certified chronograph movement with a plentiful power reserve of 70 hours.
As you would expect, the watch is exclusively available at Goldsmiths, Mappin & Webb, Watches of Switzerland and Mayors (over in the US) with pre-orders now open. If the classic, limited edition watch is of interest you will have to get in fast as it will be limited to just 150 pieces (100 UK, 50 US) and priced at £6,600.
