Pre-owned Breitling Premier B01 Chronograph 42 Bentley Centenary ref RB01181A1Q1X1 (2020) brings together two brands long associated with performance, craftsmanship, and vintage motorsport heritage. The Premier collection itself dates back to the 1940s, when Breitling introduced it as a more refined alternative to the brand’s highly technical aviation chronographs. While many Breitling models focused heavily on utility and instrument-style functionality, the Premier emphasized elegance and everyday sophistication without sacrificing chronograph performance. This Bentley Centenary edition celebrates 100 years of Bentley with vintage automotive inspiration throughout the design. The rich brown burl elm dial is modeled after the dashboard wood found inside the legendary 1929 “Blower” Bentley race cars driven by the famed Bentley Boys, giving the watch a warmth and texture rarely seen on modern chronographs. Black sub-dials and a tachymeter scale add contrast, while the engraved “Bentley” plate along the case side pays homage to the partnership. Crafted in 18k red gold and limited to just 200 pieces, this ref. RB01181A1Q1X1 feels noticeably more exclusive than many modern collaboration watches. Shop Breitling Premier Collection
