Premier Chronograph - looks sharp on the wrist

[Flybak]

Had a chance to try one of the Breitling Premier Chronograph models. Have to say I really like the way these look and feel. I know people have strong feelings one way or the other on the brand, but I think a lot of the recent releases have a good connection to some of their heritage.

Photos attached, I did the best I could hopefully resolution is clear enough to get a fair idea.

handsome watch, what's the dimensions?

I actually went into a Bretiling boutique the other day just so i could see the Premier collection. It was my first time in a Breitling boutique and also a first time to have a breitling model of any sort on my wrist. I fell in love with the green Bentley eddition, such a rich green.

Long story short, Breitling is onto a winner with this model and i for one am about to pull the trigger on one. Considering i haven't been able to get a Hulk from any AD for over 1.5 years it makes it an easy choice.

42mm diameter and I believe ~13.7 mm thick though don't quote me on the last part. My wrist is just over 7 inches for context, even though those pics make everything look 5x larger

I haven't seen the Bentley edition in the flesh though the colours do look great from live pics. My only reservation on that is how the engraved piece on the side of the case looks for these versions. If it's subtle, I would be thrilled. Regardless, the green dial and dark subdials are sharp. Looking forward to the incoming!

I think anyone being objective and judging based on looks and technical specs would have to agree they're good watches at good price points. Some will disagree, arguing about the inability to retain high values but that's separate from the quality/price relationship that I think should be fairly recognized.

Good looking watch.

I think it is a classy look. Georges Kern is doing some great things with the brand; focusing on heritage and slimming down the line (both in models and size). I would love to see one in person.

I tried on the green one. Very, very nice. Just not $8,000.00 USD nice.

Wait till a lot more go on Chrono24, they already have them at 20% off rrp, i have one coming at 40% off from a family AD.

Looks stunning. Only 30min chrono though, which bothered me. Super slick otherwise.

I picked-up the Breitling Bentley Premier Chrono today from my AD..... my apologies, the green dial is hard to photograph..... or I'm a lousy photographer

Congratulations, I really dig the deep green and overall classy look of this new line. I am tempted myself, it's been several years since I bought a Breitling. Just got a Speedy so I'm going to wait a bit, but I keep this Bentley on my radar.
