The dial is in dark grey and got its design idea from the dashboard on Spitfire. So is the replica. Case diameter is 43mm, so the dial looks big. With a sloping inner bezel and sunk subdials, the whole dial looks very three-dimensional. 60-second small dial positioned at 6:00 is for small seconds display, top subdial at 12:00 is for minute chronograph. Small second hand is in striking red. There is a fan-shaped window at 3:00 with a triangle mark that is pointing at current date. White lume is applied on hour markers at 12, 3, 6 and 9, so are on hands.Like case, the bracelet is also made of solid 316L stainless steel, it contains five sections of links. The clasp is so special because it has unique fish-scale patterns, we call them Geneva Stripes that were only found on movement plates before. Deployant buckle has a polished square metal part that has engraving “IWC”. Inside the case, it is a Valjoux 7750 movement, well it is a cloned one, not real Swiss ETA 7750. But the factory used a Shanghai chronograph movement to clone this 7750 movement, if you know something about Shanghai Watch Factory, you will learn that Shanghai 7750 is the most stable chronograph movement used in replica watches. At last, let’s check the watch specification of this replica.
The bracelet is made of 316L stainless steel, there are five section links of the bracelet in oblique design, we can see a lot of Breitling watches with such type of bracelet. It is my favorite bracelet design. The polishing work of the bracelet is done by watch masters with more than ten years of experience, the edge of the bracelet is polished so smooth that no scratch could be felt when wearing, and if you have a replica that was bought in low price, you can compare its polishing with this watch, they are not in the same level.The replica is powered by a real chronograph movement, which is a cloned ETA 7750, the basic movement is Shanghai 7750 chronograph. When you push down the button at 2 o’clock, the central second chronograph hand will start to work, push down the button again, the chronograph function will stop. If you want the chronograph to be reset, please press the button at 4 o’clock. Overall, the replica has all functions that you can find on the genuine watch.I’ve seen so many Breitling with simple and fresh design, if you want a good replica Breitling that looks tough and strong, then Chronomat B01 AB0110 is an idea option.In replica watch market, Breitling watches were sold very well about 3 or 4 years ago, people liked their Avenger and Navitimer watches at that time. Nowadays, few people want to choose Breitling as their first replica watch. Do you know why? In my opinion, there are two reasons, first, Breitling watches are a bit harder to replicate, especially Navitimer, its complited dial design is difficult for watch factory to make it close to genuine. Second, most factories are engaged in making Rolex, IWC and Panerai, few of them are willing to produce Breitling replica watches. So, these are two main reasons to explain why replica Breitling watches are not sold well. However, there is one Breitling watch that is still loved by many watch fans, it is Avenger BlackBird that we are going to discuss today. The replica watch is made by Z factory, it is the latest model in our market. I was attracted by its cool black outlook, from a big factory, the quality is superior, with a black nylon strap, it completely meets the theme of military watch.
Several years ago, Panerai published Luminor Submersible 1950 PAM 382, which raised a bronze storm in watch industry. The story between XF and bronze started from Panerai’s PAM 382. Afterwards, XF unveiled PAM 507, PAM 671, Zenith Type 20 Pilot Extra Special, Tudor Black Bay Bronzo, these are all art work of XF that are made of bronze material. So, we can see that XF factory continuously researched bronze and applied this material in their watch-making process, today, they released this IWC Pilot Spitfire bronze watch, it is the first IWC watch that is made of bronze.Actually, it is not hard to make a bronze case, but the difficulty is that bronze case should be oxidized to our expected result at the speed we want, XF has always been researching this, now the oxidized result on this IWC Pilot Spitfire has achieved a perfect condition, which is closest to genuine, compared with the bronze case from small factories, you will find that their oxidized color is uneven and there is even rusty spot.
