For months now, I’ve been looking for a mechanical chronograph to add to my small collection. It’s a complication I’ve always loved. And after weeks of research, and multiple list comparing watches, I set my sights on the 1:1 fake Breitling Chronomat B01 42 in blue. I even recently visited the Breitling boutique in NYC to try one on. It took the strength of 10 men to keep me from slamming my credit card on the table and yelling “take my money” right then and there. The dial, date window symmetry and Rouleaux bracelet contributed to an overall design I really enjoyed.
When I first decided on the perfect replica Breitling Chronomat B01 42, it was after realizing that at the sub $10k USD price range, the watch had a ton to offer. If you’re someone like me who isn’t interested in the Speedmaster Professional aesthetic or wish the Tudor chronograph offerings had more colour, the Breitling Chronomat is a great option.
The first thing I compared between the two luxury fake watches was their dimensions. The cheap fake Breitling Chronomat B01 42 comes in at 42mm with a lug-to-lug of 50.5mm. Thickness is 15.1mm which is average for an automatic chronograph. However, the straight lugs of the case do not curve and hug the wrist, which makes this measurement seem even larger.
As for water resistance, the bulk of the Breitling Chronomat replica for men does have it’s benefits. It has a water resistance of 200 metres versus the 50 metres of the new ’57.
The AAA fake Breitling Chronomat B01 42 is powered by the B01 Manufacture movement. It comes with 70 hours of power reserve and beats at 28,800 bph. It’s column wheel activated and chronometer certified. A movement so good, that even a competitor in Tudor decided it was a great starting point for their own chronographs.
As for the high quality replica Breitling Chronomat B01 42 collection, there are five different base models. These include the classic panda and reverse panda aesthetic as well as a copper dial. Though these dials with the three register layouts are busier than those of the ’57, the aesthetic does go hand in hand with the technical look of the watch. Finally, these dials seem to have more depth and I also appreciate the touches of red.
