This Breitling Premier green replica pairs a deep green dial with a 42mm stainless steel case and a smooth green leather strap, positioning the Premier as a dress chronograph with character that standard black or silver dials do not offer. The AB0118221L1P1 belongs to the Premier B01 Chronograph 42 line, where Breitling fits its in-house B01 movement into a slim, polished case meant for dress wear; this watch runs a clone Cal. B01 with the same layout. Green dials have gained traction across the industry, but few chronographs execute the shade this dark. Our guide also sets the Premier against the Navitimer and IWC Portugieser.

Why the Case Is Polished

The polished case finish distinguishes the Premier from the satin-brushed surfaces found on the Avenger and Superocean. That finishing choice signals dress-watch intent clearly.

Polish, Green Sunray and Black Registers

Breitling designed the Premier line as its dressy counterpart to the tool-watch collections that dominate the catalog. The green sunray dial shifts between forest and emerald tones depending on lighting, with two black chronograph sub-dials at three and nine adding contrast without breaking the palette. The smooth green leather strap, a factory choice where Breitling uses green alligator, carries the dial colour onto the wrist, which gives the watch a tonal, vintage-inflected character. Compare this against the black-dial Premier Norton AB0118A21B1A1, which runs the same movement and case in a more conventional color scheme. The full Premier collection explores several dial colors, but few of them are as distinctive as this green.

Breitling Premier Green Replica, Tonal From Dial to Strap

At 42mm on leather, the Premier wears flatter and lighter than Breitling’s sport chronographs at the same diameter. The slim bezel allows the dial to occupy more visual space, making the green more prominent than it would be on a thicker-bezeled design. This piece works with a suit jacket or a dark sweater equally well. This green Premier delivers chronograph functionality wrapped in a tonal finish that keeps the whole watch in one colour family.
