It’s been quite some time since I’ve seen Breitling unveil such a captivating timepiece. It seems as though Breitling exhausted all their luck with past releases; the likes of Navitimer 01, Avenger Blackbird, and Super Avenger Titanium, all of which were introduced several years ago, garnered immense popularity. However, recent releases have lacked the same allure. Yet, this morning, while strolling through Zhanxi Road, home to the world’s largest replica watch market, I stumbled upon this remarkable Breitling watch. Its striking black and orange color scheme immediately caught my eye. Excitedly, I brought the watch home and penned this review.
The Breitling Chronomat B01 Raven replica watch hails from G Factory, affectionately known as GF. With GF’s expanding repertoire, the range of replica Breitling watches now offers something for every enthusiast. This development brings great fortune to our watch aficionados. Just as Noob is renowned for producing top-quality Rolex replicas, GF stands out as the sole factory boasting the most comprehensive collection of Breitling watches.
The replica features a black case crafted from solid 316L stainless steel, with a thick layer of high-quality black DLC coating adorning its surface. Boasting a substantial size, the case measures a diameter of 44.5mm and a thickness of 17.5mm. The entire case is brushed, mirroring the authentic watch in a 1:1 replication, particularly evident in its uni-directional rotating bezel. The bezel is secured with four fixed pawls, with the one at 12 o’clock housing a prominent lume-filled pearl. Additionally, the bezel markings are deeply engraved and rendered in bright orange, echoing the orange tachymeter inner bezel on the dial.
The dial, reminiscent of the genuine watch, boasts a sleek black hue with all three subdials in functional operation, accurately positioned. Alongside the small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock, the remaining two subdials serve for minute and hour chronograph display. The vibrant orange color adorning the three small hands and the elongated seconds-chronograph hand is truly eye-catching. Undoubtedly, the predominant highlight of the watch lies in its captivating utilization of orange.
