Breitling’s new releases from Watches & Wonders 2021 include six new Premier Heritage Collection pieces inspired by Breitling’s three-generation of founders.

Léon Breitling, who founded the company in 1884, originally patented a simple timer/tachymeter that could measure any speed between 15 and 150 km/h, an invention featured in the 1906 Vitesse pocket watch.

In 1915, his son, Gaston, created one of the first wrist-worn chronographs with an independent pusher at 2 o’clock. This innovation separated the start, stop, and reset functions from the crown, making it infinitely more practical for timing sports.

Then in 1934, Léon’s grandson, Willy, patented the second independent chronograph pusher at 4 o’clock.

Along with being a watchmaker, Willy also understood people’s desire for elegant and glamorous timepieces, leading him to design the original Premier watches in the 1940s.

“This heritage-inspired design with a stylish modern twist embodies some of Breitling’s most famous innovations, and revives Breitling’s legacy of inventing the modern chronograph. This truly is our heritage revived,” says Georges Kern, Breitling CEO.

The new generation of Premiers – the Breitling Premier Heritage Collection has been designed to bring the timeless elegance back to life and includes pieces from three specific categories: The Chronograph, The Duograph, and The Datora.

Breitling Premier B09 Chronograph 40 Releases

Like its 1940s precessors, the 40 mm Premier Heritage Chronograph is manually wound and is powered by the Breitling Manufacture Caliber B09, which is based on the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01.

The new Premier Heritage Chronograph is available in two variations: an eye-catching pistachio-green dial encased in stainless steel or a cream-colored silver dial encased in 18 k red gold.
