Hi everybody! On Breitling's norwegian website the prices of the Premier B01 has risen about 15% now. Whether or not this is related to the release of after the launch of the new Premier Heritage line.
Due to the pandemic, currencies fluctuate more than usual, and prices on imported goods are often adjusted accordingly. Norwegian currency was weak/low last year, wich resulted in prices going up. Now however, the norwegian currency has strenghtened, causing prices to be lowered. On cars for instance. That makes me think that it's less likely that Breitling's raise of the norwegian Premier B01 prices is just a currency related price adjustment, and more likely that Breitling has actually raised the price of the Premier B01's in general.
These are some examples of the new official prices in Norway (converted to Euros), from the cheapest Premier Heritage novelty, to the first Heritage novelty priced above the most expensive B01:
€12 250: Premier B25 Datora copper (novelty) €10 870: Premier B01 Bentley Centenary €10 125: Premier B15 duograph blue (novelty) € 9 000: Premier B01 Bentley Mulliner € 8 680: Premier B01 Bentley, Norton and Wheels & Waves € 8 370: Premier B01 silver (white/silver dial, black subdials) € 8 050: Premier B01 anthracite (anthtacite dial, black subdials) € 7 995: Premier B09 pistachio (novelty)
Does anyone know anything about this (perhaps someone close to Breitling)? If not, has the prices changed in your countries? Are the price differences between the different models similar to to the ones listed above?
