Breitling Launches New Boutique-Exclusive Chronoliner and Chronomat 44 Replica Watches UK

Breitling has released a pair of new timepieces in its Chronoliner and Chronomat 44 collections, each limited to 100 pieces and available exclusively in Breitling houtiques worldwide. Here’s what you need to know about two aviation-inspired timepieces that take the “wild blue yonder” seriously: the Breitling Chonoliner B04 Boutique Edition and Chronomat 44 Boutique Edition.

The reliable Breitling Chronoliner fake watches are the latest iteration of Breitling’s “flight captain’s watch,” and a follow-up to the Blacksteel version introduced last year. This watch’s all-blue livery houses, for the first time in the Chronoliner collection, Breitling’s in-house, COSC chronometer-certified Caliber B04, which powers the watch’s array of pilot-friendly functions,  including a 1/4-second chronograph for measuring flight times and a triple timezone display to keep track of the times in various time zones whilst in flight. (Previous models have been equipped with the ETA Valjoux 7750-based Breitling 24 caliber.)

The second time zone is indicated by a red-tipped hand on a 24-hour scale around the blue dial, while a third time zone, also in 24-hour mode, can be read on the notched, bidirectional rotating bezel, also in blue, with silver counters. The chronograph counters are at 3 and 6 o’clock, small seconds are at 9 o’clock, and the date is at 4:30. The watch’s 46-mm steel case is water-resistant to 100 meters, features on its back a rendering of a vintage pin-up with a “Special Delivery” inscription, and is mounted on a specialized, case-matching blue rubber strap that evokes the mesh design of Breitling’s steel Aero Classic bracelet. Each of Breitling replica watches with blue dials is $9,150.

The other boutique edition hails from Breitling’s Chronomat series, the Swiss brand’s leading collection. The timepiece has a 44-mm steel case that is water-resistant to a dive-watch-worthy 500 meters and is powered by another in-house, COSC-certified movement, Breitling Caliber B01, with an integrated chronograph function and a 70-hour power reserve. Its signature features are the striking blue dial, made of Vietnamese mother-of-pearl, and — like the Chronoliner — its engraved caseback with the image of the “Special Delivery” pinup girl and the number of the edition, from 1 to 100.

The crown and the chronograph push-pieces are both screw-locked for secure usage; the tricompax dial layout has chronograph subdials at 3 and 6 o’clock, small seconds at 9 o’clock, and a date window at 4:30. Here again, a blue strap, this one of leather, echoes the dial’s azure hue and completes the package. Breitling Chronomat copy watches with Swiss automatic movements retail for $9,090.

Taking A Look At The Popular UK Breitling Navitimer 01 46MM Replica Watches

It is a special man who finds a perfect wrist companion in the two-tone steel and gold version of the larger 46mm-wide version of the classic Breitling Navitimer watch. Of course, this is the “Navitimer 01” model that contains Breitling’s first in-house movement – the Breitling Caliber 01. Breitling Navitimer fans are a unique breed of aviation lovers who actually do fly or highly aspire to. In dive watch terms, the fake Breitling Navitimer might be something like an replica Omega Seamaster Ploprof. Sort of a big-sized, nerdy dive watch with a cult following and special function or case beyond that of most other watches of its genre. Sure, there have been plenty of Navitimer homages over the years, but Breitling was the first to put a rotating slide-rule bezel in a wrist watch.

Our Max wrote a review of this generation Breitling Navitimer 01 watch here. I’ll let you explore that article for more practical information on wearing and owning the black dial fake Breitling Navitimer 01 – which is clearly one of Breitling’s most iconic models ever. I have personally always liked the Breitling Navitimer but not yet found the model for me. I am also keenly aware that I will likely never actually use the rotating slide-rule bezel. It isn’t that I don’t want to, but rather that my math skills are never going to be up to snuff. More so, I am deeply enough of the digital calculator generation to never have any type of nostalgic feelings toward older “non-electronic” calculators.

Nevertheless, the brown leather strap fake  Breitling Navitimer is a classic, isn’t it? It has managed to also be one of those hyper-masculine watches that still feels conservative and looks good on the wrists of many different kinds of men. For that, within the aviation watch realm, it will continue to be one of “the” icon watches. Part of being included in that designation is being niche, I feel. As iconic as it is, I still think the Patek Philippe Nautilus is niche in its appeal. It just isn’t for everyone and neither is the Breitling Navitimer.

In two-tone steel with an 18k gold bezel, the Breitling Navitimer 01 takes on a special personality. This piece is on the rich, padded brown alligator strap, but Breitling also offers it on steel or, hopefully, two-tone steel and 18k gold bracelet in the future. That latter option has been around for previous versions of two-tone Navitimers. On the two-tone bracelet, you get the most “lifestyle” look given the sheen of all that polished metal and glint of gold. The black dial is given gold hour markers and hands too, which helps complete the look. Still, there isn’t a huge amount of gold on the watch which prevents the price from soaring to near all-gold-case levels. They do produce solid gold versions of this replica Breitling Navitimer 01 46mm.

At 46mm wide, this version of the Breitling Navitimer isn’t the largest. I have also covered the 48mm-wide Breitling Navitimer GMT also with an in-house made Breitling movement. Even if this Breitling Navitimer 01 46mm isn’t the largest Navitimer model around, it still wears admirably, and has a case that is a solid 14.5mm thick.

I do want to mention that, in my opinion, if you like the look of a slightly too-large (dare I say “oversize”) watch on your wrist, then the Breitling Navitimer is one of those watches that you can get away with wearing even if it is on the larger size. Something about pilot watches also seems to dictate that they always seem to look best when very large in size.

The Breitling caliber 01 is a pretty solid movement, and the good news is that you can see it through the sapphire crystal caseback window. As many of you know, it isn’t at all common for Breitling to have watches with exhibition casebacks. Usually, you get a really nicely made, albeit solid metal, caseback on red second hand fake Breitling watches. Operating at 4Hz (28,800 bph), the 01 has a power reserve maximum of 70 hours and offers the time with date and 12-hour chronograph. It is definitely an industrialized movement, but it nevertheless has a hearty richness to it just like the polish Breitling does on most of their mirrored cases.

Let’s To See The Review Of The Wonderful UK Breitling Chronoliner Replica Watches

When aBlogtoWatch met with Breitling at Baselworld 2015 (to be honest, they had so many new products, we needed to meet with them twice), the watch I was most excited to see hands-on was the new replica Breitling Chronoliner. Why was I excited to see it? Well, in addition to having a relatively “subdued” dial design (in the scheme of Breilting watches, that is), it was also the first Breitling watch with a ceramic bezel… and it didn’t come with a wild price (even though it isn’t exactly entry-level).

Not everyone loved the looks of the white scale fake Breitling Chronoliner. That’s fine. Not everyone is a Breitling fan, but I will say that the more hands-on time I find that people get with Breitling watches, the more they become fans. I personally wasn’t a huge fan of Breitling initially – but after spending enough time with their products, I fully appreciate why the brand is as successful as it is. You can disagree if you like, but I like a lot of what the brand does, even if some of their products are very similar to each other and there are products in their collection that I wouldn’t personally wear.

Hands-on, the black dial replica Breitling Chronoliner does not disappoint. Inside the watch is a Breitling caliber 24 which is just their way of saying a Swiss ETA Valjoux 7754 automatic chronograph. This is the famed Valjoux 7750 with a GMT hand module, which adds some extra functionality to the dial. Thus, you have the time, 12-hour chronograph, date, and a GMT hand for a second time zone. More so, you can track three total time zones because in addition to being a dedicated 24-hour scale on the dial, there is also a rotating 24-hour scale bezel.

The bezel, in black ceramic, feels as hefty and smooth as Breitling’s metal bezels. The numerals on the bezel are painted in a cream color to match the lume color on the hands and hour markers, and the print is extremely legible. Turning the bezel feels secure, and because the material is ceramic, you know that it will not scratch and wear as metal does over time. While this is a subtle addition, I think it is about time for stainless steel case replica Breitling to start adding ceramic as a material option for its timepieces, given the extreme popularity of ceramic and its advantages over metal in certain areas. Ceramic isn’t a replacement for metal altogether, but in the right circumstances it can add value or durability.

At 46mm wide, the Chronoliner isn’t a small timepiece. The case design is actually rather classic with its plunger-style chronograph pushers and polished surfaces. With that said, it fits large on the wrist, as many Breitling watches do, so wearers can get a traditional look with a bold, contemporary presence on the wrist. The case is also water resistant to 100 meters, and over the dial is a nicely AR-coated domed sapphire crystal that isn’t as much of a glare magnet as it could be.

Inspired by some replica Breitling watch designs from the 1950s and 1960s, it isn’t exactly an accident that the delicate fake Breitling Chronoliner has a retro feel to it. With that said, I would not call it a retro-styled watch at all. There are just too many contemporary elements in terms of size, design, fonts, and materials for the Chronoliner to fit within the “modern retro” watch category. With that said, some of the most obvious “retro” elements are really just about dial simplicity and having a high-contrast dial. The dial isn’t flat however, with lightly recessed chronograph subdials and a beautiful looking “panda” coloration with the off-white mixed with the matte black background. The only hint of color on the dial is the red tip of the GMT hand. More so, the use of an off-white versus a bright white for the light elements of the dial prevents the watch from clashing too hard if the wearer doesn’t have solid white clothing on.

An interesting design feature of the dial is the slightly larger size of the chronograph minutes subdial, as well as the different hand design used for that subdial that has a bit of lume on the tip. This is a difficult-to-notice detail but something that makes the excellent fake  Breitling Chronoliner dial look just that much more unique. In many ways, the reason that I like the Breitling Chronoliner as much as I do is that it is a modern Breitling, inspired by traditional chronograph sports watch aesthetic rules, in a handsome package that has a lot of fashion versatility to it.

Interestingly, Breitling offers the Chronoliner with two bracelet options – even though the watch would look equally nice on a series of strap choices. Not that many people play around with swapping about straps on Breitling watches (because the ones they come with tend to be really good), but for some watches, it can work. One bracelet option for the fake Breitling Chronoliner is the mesh metal “Ocean Classic” which happens to look really sharp with the watch (even though mesh metal bracelets aren’t typically my favorite). Breitling is also offering their more popular Navitimer bracelet for the Breitling Chronoliner (which actually costs appreciably more than the Ocean Classic bracelet.

A fine watch all around for those who are keen on the design the replcia Breitling Chronoliner should offer a solid wearing experience in a range of situations. Breitling would have a mega hit on their hands if they just shaved a bit off the price, though, as the Breitling Chronoliner verges too close to the territory of Brietling’s watches with in-house made movements.
