Breitling’s new Lady Premier is a study in ease and elegance: sculptural cases, radiant hues, ombré straps, and diamond flows that feel more “jewelry in motion” than watch. It nods to the maison’s 1940s Premier Fantaisies while speaking a modern, self-assured language.
Long before wristwatches became a male uniform, women wore them and shaped Breitling’s design story. Willy Breitling’s Premier line elevated the chronograph from instrument to style statement; his wife, Beatrice, became a quiet north star for the brand’s aesthetic. That spirit returns here. This is not nostalgia. It’s evolution.
“When a woman puts on her watch, her whole personality is magically transformed,” Willy once said.

Design that wears like light
The Lady Premier keeps the dress-watch DNA but softens the geometry: fluid lugs, silk-shimmer dials, and ombré alligator straps.
- 36 mm automatic (steel or 18k gold): gradient Aubergine, Sage, Dove Grey, and Chocolate straps; COSC-certified Caliber 10 with ~42-hour power reserve.
- 32 mm quartz (steel): mother-of-pearl, Ink Blue, or Midnight Black dials on a new tapered Chevron bracelet–Breitling’s feminine take on the Premier’s seven-row rhythm–powered by COSC-certified SuperQuartz™ Caliber 77.
Details do the talking: diamonds that cascade from lug to bezel; dual finishes for an ever-moving dial; minimalist numerals, lozenge hands, and a sculptural crown. It’s refined but never rigid.
Beauty with Integrity
True to Breitling’s “mission to do better,” the collection uses responsibly sourced gold and traceable lab-grown diamonds; a clear, future-facing materials choice.
Fronted by Meghan Roche, Shahed Elnakhlawy, and surfer Mason Barnes, the campaign frames the Lady Premier woman in her natural element: out with friends, chasing ideas, owning the city at her pace. Effortless confidence is the dress code.
Founded in 1884 and famed for inventing the modern chronograph, Breitling still balances heritage and innovation with an unmistakable modern-retro touch. Lady Premier edits the whole narrative: feminine, confident, and built for now.
