The two tone Breitling Chronomat B01 Chronograph replica watch will soon officially go on sale. In a nutshell, it rocks. Although some find combinations of steel and gold (especially rose gold) a bit distasteful, this new version features just the right mix of two metals that make it look dressy and even elegant without even a hint of the usual pretense.
They just look way too busy, defying the very concept of the instrument, which is to offer a dial layout that allows you to grasp current reading at a glance.As much as I like the Breitling SuperOcean collection of diving watches, I resent their numerous editions of pilot’s or racing watches.
However, there is something captivating about the mens fake Breitling Chronomat B01 chronograph watch. It is still busy with information and I highly doubt that you will be able to tell the time in a bright day without squinting and swearing under your breath, but I like it, especially, the one, which is made in stainless steel and gold mixte.
The modest amount of the precious metal provides the new Breitling Chronomat B01 with an elegant look, without actually screaming ‘Look, look, look at me,’ which is a problem with most Breitling’s watches wholly crafted in gold.
But the main head turner here is their new COSC-certified Caliber B01 chronograph movement, which was developed solely in-house. Although the caliber still needs to pass the test of time in order to prove its reliability and robustness, there seems to be no doubt as to its accuracy.
Try to do this feat with the Breitling for Bentley or the Navitimer with its famous slide rule and you’ll see, what I mean. They are just too busy with lots of decoration and a great deal of information pouring upon your head.
And, adding insult to injury, models with white dials are not contrast enough for an average eye.
What I like the most about the steel/gold version, is that the number of golden parts is limited to the crown, a pair of chronograph push-pieces, four details on the bezel, as well as the Roman numerals on the dial and all five hands. There are also golden links in the mirror-polished stainless steel bracelet.
According to initial press releases, the German watch magazine Uhren-Magazin is going to rave about the caliber’s accuracy in its upcoming printed issue. The publication says that, during their tests, the Breitling copy watch demonstrated such a high degree of precision that it even created the impression that “the Chronomat [was] equipped with a quartz movement.”
