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.
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.

Introduction of The New TAG Heuer Carrera Year of the Tiger Watch Rplica At the end of last year, Tag Heuer launched a limited edition TAG Heuer Carrera Year of the Tiger Watch Rplica WBN2050.FC6506 to welcome the Chinese New Year of the Tiger in 2022. As a Year of the Tiger limited edition, it did not use the red dial that watch brands often love to use for Chinese limited editions, but chose a blue-coloured tiger-print dial, which is still quite interesting, so today we will give you more details about this special Year of the Tiger model. The Dial The Chinese Year of the Tiger begins on February 1, 2022, and the TAG Heuer Carrera replica watch pays a visual tribute to it with its elegantly textured, stripe-patterned dial that combines two distinct shades of blue: one lighter and water-toned, the other darker and echoing the look of a tiger’s fur. The former stripes are made of horizontally brushed metal with a blue PVD treatment, the latter of painted, textured metal. The hands, a...
