Adding to the sporty appeal are the perforated details on the straps, alongside an implemented speed-measuring tachymeter scale, and contrasting “squircle” subdials that nod to vintage dashboard gauges. Drawing inspiration from the namesake 1954 vehicle, the 30mm watch features a teal Thunderbird logo and red chronograph hands on the dial. Spanning five 42mm references and a 30mm version, the pieces are also offered in a selection of colorways ranging from salmon, blue, green, black, and cream, complete with alligator leather straps or metal bracelets.Įxpanding Breitling’s sports car-inspired lineup, the new Ford Thunderbird timepiece arrives in a clean, white dial and is paired with a red calfskin leather strap.

Meanwhile, on the design front, the new Premier chronographs are outfitted with smooth fixed bezels, twin-register dials, applied Arabic numerals and streamlined rectangular pushers. A more compact oscillating weight can be observed via the model’s sapphire crystal caseback. To live up to founder Willy Breitling’s uncompromising technical standards, the in-house Caliber 01 is integrated into the timepieces for a 70-hour power reserve.

Coinciding with a new book launch that chronicles the watchmaker’s most collectible chronograph, the Premier B01 Collection comprises six references that update the specialty piece with a heritage-inspired design.
