Breitling is making an elegant and decisive statement for the discerning female collector with the launch of the Lady Premier collection. Drawing inspiration from the refined aesthetics of the 1940s Premier line, the Lady Premier is a masterful blend of heritage design, contemporary flair, and the unmistakable technical excellence Breitling is known for. This is a watch engineered to be worn like jewelry, yet built with the precision of a certified chronometer.
A Design Language Defined by Radiance
The Lady Premier immediately captures attention through its focus on sculptural silhouettes and radiant hues. Breitling’s design team has achieved a “modern retro” feel by reinterpreting the avant-garde lugs and seamless case-to-bracelet flow of the archival Premier Fantaisies models.
Key design elements that make the Lady Premier truly captivating:
- Fluid Casework: The watches feature elegant, elliptical cases with a refined thickness, ensuring a comfortable fit that gracefully hugs the wrist.
- A Spectrum of Color: The collection is a feast for the eyes, offering rich dial options like Aubergine, Sage, Dove Grey, and Chocolate in the automatic models, contrasted with classic Mother-of-Pearl, Ink Blue, and Midnight Black in the quartz line.
- Luminous Finishes: The dials are animated by a sophisticated finishing technique, incorporating satin-soleil brushing at the center and rehaut, and circular brushing around the indexes, creating a silky, ever-shifting surface that maximizes the play of light.
- Ethical Luxury: In line with Breitling’s commitment to sourcing, the collection utilizes traceable, artisanal better gold for the 18k red gold variants and features responsibly sourced, lab-grown diamonds that cascade elegantly from lug to bezel.
The Collection: Two Sizes, Two Movements
The Lady Premier is introduced in two distinct sizes, catering to different preferences for wrist presence and movement:
| Model | Diameter | Movement | Power Reserve / Battery | Bracelet/Strap |
| Lady Premier Automatic 36 | 36 mm | COSC-Certified Caliber 10 (Mechanical) | Approx. 42 hours | Gradient Alligator-Leather Straps (Aubergine, Sage, etc.) |
| Lady Premier 32 | 32 mm | COSC-Certified Caliber 77 (SuperQuartz™) | Approx. 3-4 years | Tapered Seven-Row Chevron Bracelet |
The 36 mm Automatic models are paired with striking, color-matched alligator-leather straps that feature an ombré (gradient) effect, enhancing the vibrant dial colors. Meanwhile, the sleeker 32 mm Quartz models come equipped with a brand-new tapered seven-row Chevron bracelet, a feminine twist on the classic Premier link design.
CEO Georges Kern notes: “Lady Premier is a new take on the elegant watch that’s confident, feminine, and full of character, just like the woman who wears it.”
The Breitling Lady Premier is more than just a dress watch; it is a celebration of confident elegance, bringing the high-tech precision of a luxury sports brand to a collection that is unashamedly beautiful and designed for the woman who defines her own script.
