The Premier collection traces its roots to the 1940s, when Breitling first introduced elegant chronographs intended for daily wear — refined, functional, and suited to a gentleman’s wardrobe. The modern B01 Chronograph 42 pays tribute to that legacy with its 42mm stainless steel case, streamlined rectangular pushers, and sunburst green dial, all echoing the balance and proportion of the original Premier references. A tachymeter scale frames twin sub-dials at three and nine o’clock, with a discreet date display at six, enhancing the visual symmetry and usability.

Inside, the watch is run by manufacture calibre Breitling 01 — an in-house automatic chronograph movement with a 70-hour power reserve and column-wheel architecture, visible through the sapphire caseback. It is presented on a polished steel bracelet and is water-resistant to 100 metres.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
