Premier B09 Chronograph 40 The Premier chronograph, previously 42 mm in size, is now available in two 40 mm models. This is essentially Breitling's "return to origin"-the historical Premier watch has a smaller size, 36-38 mm. Of course, this is not a fashionable size at all today.
In addition, the movement can also be traced back to the roots of the model, just as it now has a classic manual winding mechanism. The new chronograph uses the B09 movement made by Breitling and is based on the 01 movement. This is the same movement that powers the Navitimer Ref. 806 and AVI reference. 765. In addition, the choice of a manual winding movement means that the open caseback is a particularly pleasant feature.
The expansion of the Premier Chronograph also introduces several new color and material combinations. One of the two models has a pistachio green dial in a stainless steel case. At the same time, the second watch uses a silver dial and an 18-carat red gold case. Both dials are very well done (actually this applies to all models). On the one hand, Breitling keeps the subdial chronograph in the same hue as the dial. In addition, the "B" in Arabic numerals and Breitling logo is not simply printed, but cleverly applied. As with Arabic numerals, it is a smart move to replace the baton pointer with the cathedral pointer.
