A local jeweler has the green model. I’ve known for a while which Breitling would be my first. Should this one remain in the lineup for another year I know which one will be my second. To my eyes it is a stunning piece.

Were you able to snap some pics of the new green premier?

I believe you are talking about Bentley edition?

I want to see them in the metal but I feel that Breitling is really getting away from their heritage.

Since I use to own a Grand Premier I went to go look at them last week. Very nice. But in typical Breitling fashion, very shiny and polished. Almost to much in my eyes.

Terrakot and Opawlows, I apologize for not having replied to your questions. I've learned but recently the function of the "Subscribe" feature.
Yes, it is the Bentley edition and did not realize this until your comment. I held the watch but, to my untrained eye and in comparison with the brand's Bentley line, there seemed to be few of the styling cues which would have ever prompted me to associate Bentley with this model. I thought it was solely the "Premier" line but have today learned something. No pictures were taken nor did I ask. I may later this week return and if so will ask to take a shot. I note on the website a retail price of $8,500 with leather; while I did see the price of the one of which I speak, my recollection may prove incorrect and I'll not risk listing an incorrect figure. Forgive me but understand I had during that visit committed to and asked for the jeweler to order a Serti-dialed 16613, my first Rolex, so I was understandably amped. And then a cork popped as they began to dispense Veuve Ambal Blanc de Blancs. It was a very epic day. |

I know the picture quality stinks and apologies for that, but I quite liked this one in person. Not outrageously sized for my 6.5" wrist.

I love this one. We're far from the knurled bezel of the Breitling for Bentley line which I always found too loud compared to what Bentley stands for. Also the dial doesn't say 'Breitling" on it which is even better. Only a 30 minutes chrono though, no hours register.

The green bentley and panda are the clear winners for me, such elegant and beautiful watches. Breitling is on a winning run lately.

The new Anthracite dial is also a winner that was unveiled at Basel.

Looks exactly like the Hamilton Intra-matic chrono.

Price is on the high side, but it's a generic looking design, which works well for a louder brand like Breitling, it's the kind of thing Rolex would make. At £4/4.5k it's a good buy.
Hamilton dial is cruder, the Breitling is more refined and tighter, just like the old days Rolex and Breitling comparison. |

I like the panda one very much. Was offered 30% off at an AD with out even asking. I just wish it was more readable. The hands are too thin for me. But I really like the overall look.

Finally! A LOT less "mess" on the dials. Never could stomach the over-cluttered dials they are known for.
These have a more modern and sleek look to them. P.S. Love your avatar, Terrakot

Thanks, I now just realized I read a thread with releases from 2019… and then March 2021…
Why would you bump this thread? Still major gripes with Breitling, love their aesthetics, hate 42mm… 38-40mm is needed even for Breitling. The Navi can stay the way it Always has been, though. |
