In the early 1940s, Breitling earned recognition for providing precision aviation instruments to the British Royal Air Force through its Huit Aviation department. Recognizing a growing demand for sophistication, Willy Breitling launched the Premier collection in 1943. Named after the French word for "first," it established a new benchmark in watchmaking, offering elegant dials, well-balanced proportions, and exceptional quality for stylish, discerning clients. Today, the Premier collection continues this legacy, seamlessly combining timeless design with contemporary craftsmanship.
