Breitling Premier Heritage collection

Breitling has just launched a new Premier Heritage collection, which consists of three Forties inspired models - the Chronograph, Duograph & Datora, with all being available in stainless steel or 18k red gold.

The 40 mm Premier Heritage Chronograph is manually wound, just like its 1940s predecessors. It is powered by the Breitling Manufacture Caliber B09, which is based on the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01. It comes in two variations: with an eye-catching pistachio-green dial encased in stainless steel or a stately silver-colored dial encased in 18 k red gold. With stainless-steel and 18k red gold cases measuring 42 mm, the Premier Heritage Duograph comes with a blue or black dial, respectively. Its rattrapante function – one of the most elaborate in watchmaking – enables the wearer to measure two elapsed times simultaneously thanks to its two superimposed chronograph hands. This piece houses the mechanical hand-wound Breitling Manufacture Caliber B15, which is based on the Breitling Manufacture Caliber B03. Like its 1940s predecessor, the 42mm Premier Heritage Datora also stands out for its highly visible and complex functions, namely its day, date, and moon-phase displays. It is powered by the Manufacture Caliber B25. The Datora’s copper-colored face is framed by a stainless-steel case, while its silver-colored dial comes in an 18k red gold one.

Inspired by the inventive spirit of Breitling’s founders, the new Premier Heritage Collection is for the modern and discerning rakish gent of impeccable taste. It goes without saying that the watches are all incredibly refined and elegant, and beautifully pay homage to the mastery of how Breitling has evolved through the generations.

From £6,200 and available at Breitling.
