Perfect Replica Breitling 817 Italian Army Chronograph
We have another military-issued watch, this time to the Italian Army courtesy of Breitling. When we think of a best replica Breitling chronograph of any era, there’s generally all manner of scales involved, from slide rules to tachymeters, creating a flurry of complexity. This example runs counter to that, with only the essentials represented on the dial. The reference 817 was made for helicopter pilots, and issued in the mid-’70s, with less than 1,000 being produced. The chunky black bezel rotates bidirectionally, and this particular example remains in excellent condition.
This is a peculiar watch that showcases the versatility of cheap super clone Breitling chronographs in this era. It’s not a design we find in their current catalog, and its provenance renders it a fascinating part of the brand’s history and DNA. This watch is offered by Analog/Shift, and represents a vanishingly rare opportunity to own not only a piece of Breitling history, but of Italian military history as well.
Top Fake Breitling Premier B09 Chronograph 40
The B25 Datora 42 might be the jewel in the crown of the high quality fake Breitling Premier collection but that doesn’t mean the straight-talking members of the family aren’t equally compelling for their own reasons. The luxury copy Breitling Premier B09 Chronograph 40 is, arguably, a perfect everyday chronograph, with a Goldilocks zone 40mm steel case, a champagne-tone dial that looks great with its sunburst finish, and the hand-wound 1:1 wholesale replica Breitling Manufacture Caliber B09 movement that powers it.
