Breitling offers several best-selling models, among which the Avenger and the Chronomat B01 are prominent. Initially, I believed the Chronomat B01 was a diver’s watch, but it is actually designed as a pilot’s watch. Regardless, its robust and masculine case allows it to stand out among pilot’s watches from various Swiss brands. While the Chronomat B01 shares some design elements with the Avenger series, a closer examination reveals that it possesses a much stronger presence. In the replica watch market, the top Breitling replica is the Avenger BlackBird produced by the GF factory. Now, the Breitling Chronomat B01 replica is also crafted by the same factory. Previously, the H factory was known for making the finest replica Breitling Chronomat watches, but now the best replicas come from GF.
Continuing the brightly polished finish of the previous Chronomat B01, this model also features a polished case and bracelet. The 44mm case is constructed to a 1:1 ratio with the original. If you examine the bezel, you’ll notice it is uni-directionally rotating and has depth markers; the satin-brushed bezel markers create a striking contrast against the polished bezel. At the 12 o’clock position, there is a bezel pearl filled with luminescent material. The case back has also been expertly finished by skilled watchmakers, with a central opening that showcases a micro-sandblasted finish complemented by polished engravings and the Breitling logo, all completed with a refined touch.
The dial comes in black, with an option for a blue dial as well. Each hour marker features a luminescent square at its end, and the luminescence matches the color of the bezel pearl, producing a strong green glow in the dark. At the center of the dial, there is a large square, and I’m not sure why Breitling chose this design, as I believe it detracts from the overall beauty of the dial. The three subdials function just like those on the genuine watch, with the small seconds sub-dial positioned at 9 o’clock, while the other two subdials are for 30-minute and 12-hour chronograph displays.
The bracelet is made from solid 316L stainless steel and features a fully polished finish with beveled links. The engravings on the buckle are meticulously crafted, allowing for direct comparison with the genuine article. It boasts a top-tier finish that truly reflects the highest standards of craftsmanship.
The replica is powered by an Asia Valjoux 7750 automatic movement, which provides a full chronograph function. You can utilize its chronograph feature without any concerns, as issues are unlikely to arise. This Asia Valjoux 7750 is based on a well-known Chinese chronograph movement from the Shanghai Watch Factory and remains unmodified, ensuring that the movement is very stable.
If you’re looking for a pilot watch that exudes a robust and masculine appearance, the replica Breitling Chronomat B01 is an excellent option. Its reinforced case construction, along with the stainless steel bracelet, ensures a comfortable fit on the wrist.
