Founded in 1884, Breitling is marking its anniversary with a yearlong celebration of its “140 Years of Firsts.” There is a new addition to that roster of pioneering achievements: Caliber B19, Breitling’s first perpetual calendar chronograph movement. The new calibre makes its debut in three limited-edition models representing brand icons: the Premier, Navitimer and Chronomat.
Created in 1987, the Première watch is timeless. While combining the House’s icons – an octagonal case inspired by the stopper of the No. 5 perfume bottle and a flexible bracelet as a nod to the chained shoulder strap of the brand’s iconic bag – it embodies a spirit of freedom and audacity unique to Chanel.
