The Grand Premier is one of the best secret favourites, wonderful dials, ideal 40 mm case, made only for one year (1999). 7750 dial layout does even have advantages too, e. g. the "normal" date font direction together with 12 H collector. I've collected both dial versions and enjoy them despite wearing them rarely.


Nice. You know, I've never noticed before, but despite their age all those Breitlings have colour matched date wheels. To this day, that is still a complaint about many other watch brands.


I'm so sorry to disappoint you: mine (talking about the black-dial one) also came from factory with a white calendar disc. As I also dislike this a lot it was my task to let it be replaced. Lots of later products (e. g. 7753-driven Navitimers) display the same error in dial color harmony. Hopefully not from now on - AFAIK blue dials will have matching blue calendar discs.

Ah, that explains that. Looks good nonetheless.
