After the Premier B01 Chronograph 42 and the Navitimer 1 Automatic 38, the elegant Premier B01 Chronograph 42 Bentley counts as one of my absolute favorite Breitling timepieces.
The new Premier collection embodies this proud heritage of Breitling, which is a perfect union of functionality and style, and it combines quality, performance and timeless design. The Premier B01 Chronograph 42 Bentley British Racing Green was designed to celebrate the long-standing partnership between Breitling and Bentley Motors, which is the world’s most admired luxury car manufacturer. This model, formerly part of the Breitling for Bentley collection, and future limited Bentley editions is now in Breitling’s existing timepiece collections.
“The Premier B01 Chronograph 42 Bentley celebrates Breitling’s partnership with one of the great names in luxury motoring. It features a 42 mm stainless steel case. It has a British racing green dial with contrasting black small seconds and 30-minute chronograph counters that indicate the Manufacture mechanical movement inside. A transparent sapphire caseback reveals the self-winding high-performance chronometer-certified chronograph caliber, Manufacture Breitling Caliber 01, which is delivered with a five-year warranty. The Premier Chronograph 42 Bentley is available with a green nubuck leather strap or a seven-row stainless steel bracelet. Two of the world’s truly elegant high-performance brands on your wrist.”

The heart of the watch is the Breitling manufacture caliber 01, a mechanical movement that is visible through the transparent case back. Other features that distinguish this watch from all other models are the Bentley engraved plate on the left side of the case, inspired by the instrument panel of the iconic 1929 Bentley Blower, and the transparent caseback with metallized Bentley logo.
“Bentley and Breitling share so many values. Both companies are known for quality, performance, and design excellence, and both can build on powerful historical legacies. It’s an ideal partnership, and, after more than 15 years, it is a pleasure to add another chapter to it.”
– Georges Kern, Breitling CEO
Overall the Breitling’s Premier B01 Chronograph 42 Bentley is one of my favorite watch from the Premier collection. It’s so timeless, and can be worn by women and men. I love the green dial, because it looks both elegant and sporty.
