The real “Avengers” must be all-powerful in the sea, land and air Breitling made a big move last year. Since the beginning of 2023, it has been busy replacing its iconic series, TOP TIME replica watches, with a “new engine”. This upgrade has naturally been recognized by many watch friends. In November of the end of the year, the brand once again updated the Avenger series of watches, which also included a complete replacement of the timing style with the B01 movement. It can be said that both the appearance design and the internal performance have been greatly improved. Let’s give a detailed introduction to the new Avengers timed night mission version.

For Breitling, brand development is inseparable from its origins in aviation. In the 1930s, Willy Breitling, the third generation heir to the brand, founded the Huit aviation department specifically to create precision airborne timing instruments and pilot chronographs. Since then, Navitimer aviation chronograph watches, AVI Co-Pilot watches, Chronomat mechanical chronographs and other representative aviation watches have been released one after another. replica u boat chimera watch

But when it comes to the Avengers series watches, we actually have to compare them with the Navitimer aviation chronograph prototypes that came out in the 1950s, including the Chronomat mechanical chronograph in the 1980s. The Avengers was born much later. It was only released in 2001, and its history is not that long. , is also a young product in the Breitling series of watches. But also because large watches were popular in the early millennium, and the Avenger was specially built for fighter pilots. With its stable and excellent performance, it can adapt to the harsh environment of the cockpit. The positioning of the watch includes, to a certain extent, It also borrows part of the design from mechanical timing, which makes it very popular among watch lovers.

I have always believed that although the Avengers is positioned in the sky matrix of the brand, it is just like a mechanical timepiece. It is an all-round watch for sea, land and air. Needless to say, the air and sky attributes of the watch are natural, while the ocean attributes are Refers to the 300-meter waterproof performance of professional diving watches possessed by the watch. On land, as a chronograph, although it does not have a speedometer circle scale specially designed for land racing like a mechanical chronograph, the tough military tactical style of the watch and the excellent movement quality also make it more attractive. It’s outstanding enough.

The first adjustment Breitling fake made for the new Avenger series chronograph was to reduce the size to 44 mm. Although it is still too large, the good thing about 44 mm is that it can compromise and basically retain the watch. The original tough style is also more comfortable to wear compared to the 45mm and 48mm models of the original Avengers.

Breitling currently offers a variety of options for new works, such as stainless steel cases covering 44mm chronographs, 44mm GMT automatic mechanical watches and 42mm automatic mechanical watches. The yellow dial and carbon fiber dial chronograph styles in the picture are the night mission special edition with a 44mm ceramic case.

The original Breitling Avengers night mission used black-plated fine steel on the case to make an all-black case. Although the blackening in the shape is tough enough, it also has a strong military style. But judging from the high-end feel and overall texture displayed by the actual ceramic watch case, it is indeed unmatched by black-plated stainless steel. Moreover, the ceramic watch is scratch-resistant, so there is no need to worry about scratches caused by daily use. It can be seen that Breitling has also put a lot of effort into the modification of ceramic watches. A large number of brushing modifications have been made on the front and sides of the case, and the deep brushing effect is very sharp.

At the same time, the changes in the overall design of the new Avengers are mainly focused on the refinement and adjustment of details, such as replacing the timing button with a tougher rectangular design, replacing the original round timing button. This modification also directly makes The watch has a more rough tactical style visual effect. The bottom, crown, timing buttons and buckle of the watch are also made of titanium, forming an innovative material combination with the ceramic case.

The ceramic bezel also retains the “horse-stud” design. This design is inherited from the mechanical chronograph watch. The design of four obvious raised scale blocks is to protect the watch mirror. If the watch is dropped to the ground, Or if it collides with a hard object, the first contact may be the raised scale instead of the watch crystal. The ceramic bezel is also decorated with a sandblasting effect, and the saddle nails are finely brushed like the case.

The dials of the new B01 version of Avengers all use horizontal three-eye sub-dials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock, which is also significantly different from the old vertical three-eye sub-dials of 6, 9, and 12 in the previous 13 and 24 movements. Differentiation.

The new Avengers also has several new options in terms of disk options, such as new green surfaces, desert color disks, and carbon fiber disks. I personally prefer the desert color version of the steel model. The color of the dial makes Breitling play like the desert coating of tactical equipment and firearms. The yellow dial has always been Breitling’s classic color dial choice. This dial color, similar to warning yellow, is very eye-catching and highly recognizable at any time. When the yellow dial is paired with an all-black ceramic case, It also creates a sharper contrast effect, making the watch more dazzling.

The watch pointer scales, including the luminous pearl design on the bezel, are coated with luminous coating, allowing the watch to be read clearly even in dim environments such as aircraft cabins or underwater. The picture above is a real shot of the luminous effect of the watch.

Turn the watch over and you can directly appreciate the operation of the B01 movement through the sapphire case back. B01’s performance is certified by the Swiss Observatory COSC with an error of -4/+6 seconds. The classic combination of column wheel and vertical clutch also makes the watch’s timing function better in terms of button feel and stability. More excellent. The watch can also provide a 70-hour power reserve when fully wound. I think the B01 movement can indeed be described as all-round and has no shortcomings. It is inevitable that the watch is only thicker. However, in fact, the new version of the B01 movement Avenger is better than the old model. It is 1.26 mm thinner, and the overall thickness is 15.2 mm. Although it is still thicker, for a sports watch, I think it can be a little thinner.

Breitling provides two strap options for this new work, one is a black tactical-style leather strap, and the other is a Breitling yellow leather strap that matches the color of the dial, allowing the wearer to choose according to their personal preferences and wearing needs. Make your selection.

This is the end of introducing this new B01 ceramic version of Avengers to you. With its all-round performance on land, sea and air, I think it is definitely worthy of the name “Avenger”. Also combined with the official price of the watch is 66,200 yuan. Compared with watches of the same level, we can hardly find similar products. , this upgraded combination of ceramic shell and self-produced timing movement has a price-performance ratio that is enough to make it stand out from the crowd. In addition, after the 44mm is changed to a smaller size, at least the watch friends who originally didn’t want to try it after looking at 45mm or 48mm are no longer afraid, but have the idea of ​​trying it. These factors are all making people There is no way to ignore the excellence of the new B01 caliber Avenger. replica automatic watches

However, it is a pity that the polished surface of Avengers B01 is still a large-area brushed and sandblasted version, and it does not use modifications like mechanical timing. I have talked to you before, if the movement finish of TOP TIME is kept at the same level as the mechanical timing, watch lovers will be more satisfied, and the new B01 Avenger is no exception.

Panerai launches Luminor Chrono Carbotech PAM01219

An attractive but expensive carbon composite chronograph. watch replicas

After launching the PAM01419 SEAL Limited Edition Luminor Chrono Carbotech watch, Panerai is now adding it to the regular production lineup as the Luminor Chrono Carbotech PAM01219. The PAM01219 features the same carbon composite case and ETA-based P.9200 movement, and features a restrained, utilitarian dial with blue accents.

The PAM01219 is a new version of the ETA-powered Panerai chronograph, so while it’s not technically new, its clean design and lightweight carbon composite case are attractive.

Earlier versions of this chronograph were either less interesting, like the steel base model PAM01109, or over-engineered, like the PAM01419 SEAL version with a sniper reticle subdial. Stylistically, PAM01219 is clear and clean, with no superfluous elements.

However, PAM01219 is too expensive. It sells for about $17,000, which is expensive by any measure, especially since most rival brands have quality replicas watches with the same movement for less (and the Tudor Pelagos FXD Chrono is less much). Panerai’s own catalog, meanwhile, includes the PAM00335, which has a ceramic case and an in-house movement with eight-day power and a monopusher chronograph, which makes it a relatively high value.

Large, lightweight and ETA
The PAM01219 has classic Panerai style, and the simple dial is a key part of its appeal. The dial is equally symmetrical, with a 30-minute counter at three o’clock balanced by a constant seconds hand at nine o’clock.

The 44mm case adopts the shape of the Luminor 1950, with a unique bowl-shaped case middle, which is perhaps Panerai’s ideal case size, neither too big nor too small. It’s made from Carbotech, Panerai’s term for carbon fiber reinforced polymer, which is essentially a high-end plastic containing sheets of carbon fiber. fake luxury watches

Carbotech is formed by baking polymer and carbon fiber in an oven, resulting in a lightweight yet strong material that also has a wood grain appearance created by the constituent sheets. According to Panerai, the resulting case is 14% lighter than a similar titanium case.

Hidden beneath the solid titanium case back is the P.9200 movement, which is actually an ETA 2892-A2, topped with a Dubois-Depraz chronograph module.

Easy to service and familiar, it’s one of the more affordable common chronographs found in brands like Breitling and Bell & Ross. Longines also uses a similar movement in its Heritage Classic, albeit with an in-house chronograph module. This movement is typically found in cheaper watches, which is one of the reasons why the PAM01219 is more expensive than it should be. perfect replica watches
