announced by Bentley Motors & Breitling yesterday on social media, as the planned launch event at the Geneva Auto Show was canceled.
limited to 1000 pieces; no-date in-house B01

really like how the dashboard clock of the newly launched Bentley "mirrors" the applied arabics of the Premier; subtle & nice.

I have never been a fan of the Bently part of the Breitling line but these Premier's are just too beautiful. Very nicely done Breitling.

Beautiful watch, really! But the Bentley branding on the side ruins it for me unfortunately. Who is going to buy that, with the branding other than Breitling, when you dont own a Bentley. That just doesn’t make sense, unless you own a Bentley. Also really liked the. Norton edition of the Premier but the branding on the side also ruined it for me.
Very keen however to see more Breitling release soon. I hear a Premier Diver is coming

no Premier diver. no idea where that rumor originated, but pure bull.
Premier are “Land” segment, so no dive watch planned in this range.

Me. I see many Breitlings with the Pilot Association and Blue Angels insignias and they are not owned by someone in either of those groups. Respect that you wouldn't buy it but it means nothing to me other than a beautiful watch. To each his/her own.
Be safe all, Frank.

I'd like to disrupt the consensus. But I can't. It's lovely.

Totally agree. The vertically brushed silver dial looks fantastic, and also does a nice job of mirroring the onboard clock.

This is a fantastic piece! :lingsrock:

Overall I love the watch, but, I know i may in the minority on this, I would've liked to see a date on here. A blue date wheel with silver numbers at 6:00 would be perfect. I'm just being picky, like I said, overall, I love the watch.

I'm thinking that the no-date treatment on the Premier reflects the fact that the Bentley onboard clock lacks a date, as well.
