Breitling Premier B01 Chronograph AB0118A11L1X1

Revive the sophisticated charm of mid-century luxury with the Breitling Premier B01 Chronograph 42 Bentley Edition. Moving away from traditional, instrument-heavy pilot cockpits, Willy Breitling’s original 1940s Premier line was dedicated entirely to elegance and style. This modern reference elegantly adapts that heritage to celebrate Breitling’s long-term partnership with Bentley Motors, offering a stunning, upscale look tailored perfectly for the racetrack or the boardroom.

The hallmark of the Ref. AB0118A11L1X1 is its mesmerizing British Racing Green dial. This rich, deep tone has been a symbol of British automotive triumph for over a century and is complemented here by a symmetric bi-compax layout featuring contrasting black sub-dials (running seconds at 9 o’clock and a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock). A matching black inner bezel housing a tachymeter scale frames the dial face flawlessly. Complete with elegant baton hands, a red-tipped chronograph seconds needle, and an anti-reflective cambered sapphire crystal, the watch delivers incredible legibility and vintage character.

Housed beneath the dial is Breitling’s flagship mechanical engine: the Manufacture Caliber 01. This in-house, automatic column-wheel chronograph movement is visible through a transparent sapphire exhibition caseback, which proudly bears an engraved Bentley logo inscription. Operating at a high frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, this COSC-certified chronometer provides an exceptional 70-hour power reserve, allowing you to safely set it aside for a weekend away without skipping a beat.

The polished 42mm stainless steel case features a unique design detail: a specialized engraved “Bentley” plate seamlessly embedded into the left side of the case middle—inspired by the dashboard architecture of classic vintage Bentley models. This specific execution comes fitted on a luxurious, curved green calfskin leather strap adorned with striking white stitching and secured with a stainless steel folding clasp. Boasting a robust 100-meter water resistance rating, the Breitling Premier Bentley is a masterful heritage statement for the collector who demands mechanical perfection and timeless luxury.

This timepiece has undergone a thorough inspection of water resistance, accuracy, functionality and condition to determine the level of reconditioning required to meet our strict standards. It has also been referenced against technical documents and manufacturer records where available to ensure authenticity and a clean history.
