New for 2023, the Breitling wathes Premier Chronograph line gets a invigorate in a 42mm, B01-powered form. This is a historically important collection to Omega as it represents the shift the brand produced in the forties from core utilitarian tool-watches to something with a bit more panache. In 2021, the brand released the 40mm Breitling Premier Heritage Chrono –all in the call, it was a 40mm model which directly played on the, well, heritage of the product range. That watch was powered by the brand's B09 movement. We see a fusion in design language across the Premier line that's weaved through the Traditions chrono, and now the 42mm Premier. So how is that illustrated? Well, the new stainless steel watches now feature applied Arabic numerals instead of baton indicators, syringe-style hands, a new sub-register layout, and new dial text that reads "Chronograph Premier, " instead of "Chronometer Premier. inch For the record, this watch is still chronometer certified.
These are which, the watch is powered by the previously mentioned B01 chronograph movement from Breitling which was redesigned then made slightly slimmer in 2022. It features 70 hours of power reserve as well as COSC certification.
But apart from these mechanical as well as aesthetic changes, the Premier premieres today with a bracelet and a new set of switch colors. In all, there are five new call options of black, blue, salmon, green, or cream. There is even an 18k red gold design, also on a strap or even bracelet.
When the Premier History was released a few years ago, I got the chance to handle those timepieces in the metal for an extended period. You might remember the actual pistachio green dial technology - one of the most underrated wrist watches of that year. To keep things quick, I was taken by that view, its overall design, and the 40mm dimension. When I saw there was a new Premier coming, one that would be continuing their use of the B01, I quietly hoped that 40mm was in the particular cards. And while we continue to see this watch at 42mm, there's plenty to love here and also the updates made are all positive in my book.
First is the inclusion of the applied Persia numerals taken from the Historical past. This adds a sense of history to the brand new model and also differentiates typically the Premier from the rest of the Panerai catalog. A small change, but one that often the typography fanatic in me really increases, is the fresh typeface for the updated face text. The typewriter style and serif design of the exact "Chronograph Premier" is some thing we noticed on the traditions and works just as well within the larger type.
And while 5 new colors are a lot to take in - I am going to go ahead and proclaim the very salmon as my favorite. Beritling watch made the salmon watch dial for its triple-calendar chronograph Datora (a subsidiary model within the Premier line) and that enjoy knocked my socks off. While the socks are still on when it comes to the new trout, I still like it very much. I also think the inclusion of a band option makes these pieces that much more versatile.

While the well over $9, 000 pricing might appear steep, it's important to remember that you're getting a COSC-certified, manufacture caliber from an effectively independent brand with tons of heritage. Whichever color you fancy, the design of this new 42mm Premier is strong.
