The recently launched Breitling Chronomat boasts a 42mm diameter and features a case thickness of 14.5mm. The replica watch is constructed using solid stainless steel for the case, bezel, and bracelet. Upon receiving the watch last night, I noticed its substantial weight, indicating the use of quality materials. The brushing and polishing finish on both the case and bracelet are commendable. When handling a well-crafted replica, the tactile experience becomes apparent, particularly when running your fingers along the corners and edges. This allows you to discern the superior finish characteristic of a good replica compared to a subpar one.
The dial showcases a captivating blue hue, with hands and hour markers adorned with luminous material for enhanced visibility. Featuring three small dials, each functioning authentically, the small seconds hand operates on the subdial at 9 o’clock, while the remaining two small dials serve the chronograph display. The 30-minute chronograph counter is located at 3 o’clock, and the 12-hour chronograph counter sits at 6 o’clock. Activating the chronograph is accomplished by pressing the button at 2 o’clock, causing the central red hand to start its movement. Pressing the button again halts the hand, and to reset it to 12 o’clock, a simple push of the button at 4 o’clock is all that’s needed. Notably, all the chronograph subdials and buttons on this replica are fully functional, ensuring the authenticity of the chronograph feature.
