About the Premier family
The Premier name goes back to Breitling's elegant chronographs of the 1940s. The brand relaunched it in 2018 with chronographs, a Duograph split-seconds and three-hand models in a more classic style than its aviation lines.
The catalog lists steel and red gold references with calibers such as Breitling 13 and the in-house B01. Dealers identify the model and dial from the reference and check the strap or bracelet and papers.
