Introducing the Breitling Premier Heritage B09 Chronograph
Breitling revealed a slew of new chronograph watches this morning within the Premier Heritage collection. Each of the watches recall earlier momentous occasions within the brand?s heritage, and look to capture a bit of old-school flair in the process. While the split chrono Duograph and full calendar Daytora offer some impressive complexity, it is the simple hand wound B09 Chronograph that?s caught our eye.Â
From L to R: B09 Chronograph, Duograph, Daytora
The B09 Chronograph gets a 40mm case offered in either 18k red gold with white dial, or steel with a very interesting looking green dial that Breitling is calling ?pistachio-green?. The case is listed as a hair over 13mm in thickness thanks to the hand wound B09 caliber within, making this among the more approachable Breitling chronographs in recent memory.
The dual-register dial is classically beautiful with details that recall early Breitling chronograph watches that played a pivotal role in bringing the complication to the wrist. The dial is uniform in color, leaving the design and construction to create contrast and legibility. The registers are recessed into the dial with a ring texture further separating them from the rest of the dial rather than using outlines. Syringe hands track against a borderline ornate minute track tucked into the crest of the tachymeter scale, which gets its own raised section at the edge of the dial.Â
Polished applied numerals appear at each hour not obstructed by the sub-dial...
