Why this is different from other Premier chronographs
Where many chronographs emphasize modernity, the Premier B09 Chronograph 40 leans into a refined, vintage-inspired personality without sacrificing precision. The 40mm case size offers a lighter, more intimate wear compared to larger chronographs, while the manually wound B09 movement prioritizes a classic horological experience over automatic convenience. The combination of a white dial, applied Arabic numerals, and retro hands, along with the open caseback, creates a distinct aesthetic that stands out within the Premier lineup—appealing to collectors who value a tactile connection to the movement and a dress-leaning chronograph silhouette.
Care and maintenance tips
To preserve the beauty of the white dial and the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and direct sunlight. Have the movement serviced at intervals recommended by Breitling to maintain chronograph accuracy and power delivery. When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry place to protect the leather and preserve the finish of the steel case.
Experience the Premier
The Breitling Premier B09 Chronograph 40 White Dial on Black Leather Strap invites you to experience a living piece of watchmaking history—crafted for those who value precise timing, classic design cues, and a movement that tells its own story. If you’re seeking a sophisticated chronograph with a hand-wound heartbeat and a heritage-forward aesthetic, this watch delivers a compelling, personal connection to Breitling’s enduring legacy.
Paying homage to three generations of inventors—Léon, Gaston, and Willy Breitling—the Premier collection embodies Breitling’s legacy as the inventor of the modern chronograph. As Willy Breitling put it, the Premier is the “unmistakable stamp of impeccable taste.” The modern Premier collection brings this history back to life while showcasing Breitling’s highest level of watchmaking.
It comes a range of complications: the Chronograph, the Duograph split-second, the Datora full calendar and the Tourbillon. The Premier Chronograph’s heritage-revived design features a variety of elegant design details, such as grooves on the case sides, rectangular pushers, applied Arabic numerals and vintage-inspired hands. It also features an open sapphire caseback that beautifully displays the manually wound COSC-certified Breitling Manufacture Caliber B09.
