Today, another 1:1 replica watch has arrived: the Breitling Navitimer World GMT replica. This model is crafted by meticulously dismantling an authentic Breitling watch. Earlier versions were based on images and creative guesswork. This replica Breitling is entirely constructed from stainless steel, including the bracelet. The case is finely polished, with the lugs featuring distinct edges and corners that feel as smooth as the original. The metal junction part connecting the case and bracelet is robust enough to withstand falls without breaking.
The dial of this replica Breitling Navitimer GMT is blue and packed with detailed information, making it challenging to replicate accurately. The subdial at 9 o’clock shows small seconds, while the hour and minute chronograph counters are located at 6 and 12 o’clock, respectively. A small date window with a white background and black date font is positioned at 3 o’clock. The central hand with a red tip serves as the GMT hand and can be adjusted via the crown. Pressing the chronograph button at 2 starts the central second chronograph hand; pressing it again stops the hand, and the button at 4 resets the chronograph, returning the hand to zero.
The bezel rotates bi-directionally, and the slide rule inner bezel functions just like the original. Among all the bracelets used on Breitling replicas, the Navitimer’s and the Avenger’s rubber band are the most popular. The links of this fake Breitling Navitimer watch feel solid to the touch, and the engravings on the clasp are laser-made based on the genuine article. The caseback also features informative engravings, providing detailed information about the watch’s background.
However, I noticed the bracelet is not perfect; the gaps between the links are larger than those on an authentic Breitling, making them less tight. The replica uses a newly improved Asian 7750 movement, secured inside the case by a metal ring. The movement plates are polished with an excellent fish scales pattern, also known as Geneva stripes. The Secs@9 7750 movement used in this replica is more stable and durable compared to the Secs@12 7750 used in AP replicas. If you are a Breitling enthusiast, this watch will likely become your favorite, and you won’t regret purchasing it.
