This year is a big year for Breitling. After the Georges Kern takeover last year, the watch industry has been waiting with bated breath for this year's Basel releases. A few were announced last month but just today have we learned about several new releases including the Breitling Navitimer Super 8 B20 watch replica (ref. EB204010).
Design
The Breitling Navitimer Super 8 Collection replica is inspired by the Ref. 637, a chronograph used in the 1930s and 1940s. This chronograph, which was used by the aviators connected to their thighs, was easily readable and comfortable to use. The winding crown was positioned on the top of the case and was so easy to handle that the aviators could easily adjust even if they had gloves on. The pusher of the chronograph activated the timing and countdown functions, which enabled the soldiers to perform their duties with precision.
50mm Case
The Super 8 replica's case measures 46mm and 50mm when you include the bidirectional bezel (so 50mm all-in). The screw-locked crown is located on the left-hand side, which is another homage to the 637 whose crown was located in the same place for easy maneuvering. The case back is attached to the case with screws. This aviation-inspired watch replica provides water resistance to 30 meters only. There is an anti-reflective coating on both sides of the crystal that covers the green dial which is prone to scratching on the upper side.
The Navitimer Super 8 B20 Men's watch replica, which follows fashion closely by keeping pace with the ‘green dial’ trend that started last year, it is available in stainless steel with a black dial or titanium with a green dial. Provides easy readability with large Arabic number indexes and phosphor-filled hands. The model is complemented by a brown NATO leather strap.
Breitling B20
The movement is the Breitling B20 which is based on the caliber MT5612, which is the same movement used by Tudor in the Black Bay and Pelagos. The caliber B20 is chronometer certified and has an impressive power reserve of 70 hours.
The Breitling Summit held in Los Angeles proved a busy landing strip for a whole squadron of Breitling Avenger releases. The new Breitling Avenger II men's watch replicas lineup merges the old Avenger style with that of the Breitling Colt, further streamlining the catalog. A raft of colors and an uncommonly wide range of sizes should satisfy fans of Breitling during the Schneider era, as well as those enjoying the current "heritage revisited" phase the brand is going through. The Avenger The Avenger - like the more iconic Navitimer tracing its design DNA to that of the venerable Breitling Chronomat, the Swiss brand’s trailblazing chronograph for pilots - has been given a facelift that incorporates design elements of another aerial-sporty model, the now (presumably) discontinued Colt. The Breitling Avenger collection watch replica has also, as per CEO Georges Kern’s ethos of "too many choices means no choices," been slimmed down and streamlined. A total ...
Hands On: Breitling Endurance Pro Ironman 44 MM Replica Watches With Low Price In 2019, Breitling cooperated with Ironman to launch a limited edition Superocean watch, which is a famous triathlon series. For decades, it has nurtured champions and cultivated people's sense of inadequacy. In Los Angeles this year, the two launched another collaboration in the form of two Breitling Endurance Pro Ironman replica watches in the brand's professional series, the new Breitling Endurance Pro Ironman 44mm red watch replica and Endurance Pro Ironman Finisher replica , but only the red version is available for the general population, while the other black and gold version is only for people who complete the triathlon.

IIn 1999, Breitling backed a distinctive event. Partnering with famous balloonists Bertrand Piccord and John Johnson, the company facilitated a "Non-stop around-the-world" flight by heat balloon. Your way was really pretty fascinating, and it has spawned numerous TV specials and documentaries (that I admittedly got lost in while writing this article). For anyone interested, check out the Breitling Orbiter 3's 21 day trip from the Swiss Alps to Egypt. It's compelling stuff. Twenty years later, Breitling fittingly releases the Breitling Cockpit B50 Orbiter Limited Edition replica to commemorate the event, and pay homage to the fact that Bertrand and Brian both wore a Breitling Emergency for their journey. The Dial The Breitling Cockpit B50 Orbiter Limited Edition replica commemorates Breitling Orbiter 3, and tells the story of a daring mission with its black carbon-coated titanium case, and vibrant orange dial and rubber strap.
