A Week On The Wrist With The UK Cheap Replica Breitling Premier B09 Chronograph 40 Watches– A Retro Remake Clad In Class

Posted on by

While I respected its heritage, AAA fake Breitling watches wasn’t a watch brand that resonated with me for years; I didn’t really get the lust for big pilots’ watches with a mass of complications, and brand ambassadors like John Travolta – a bone fide pilot in all fairness to him – felt a bit old-hat, even before the watch collecting bug bit me.

But under CEO Georges Kern, Breitling has gone through a bit of a glow up, rebooting old models from a historic back catalogue and pulling the brand out from being known for just aviation watches, while also still tapping into that heritage and acknowledging the innovations the likes of the Navitimer brought to the watch world.

My curiosity was piqued, specifically with the best replica Breitling Premier B09 Chronograph 40 watches, one of the aforementioned retro reboots, which takes a classic 1943 watch and reworks it for the 2020s.

First released in 2021 alongside other models in the Premier collection, this dual-subdial chronograph has a distinct dressy and elegant aesthetic. There’s a choice of white, pistachio, or brass-like yellow dials in a stainless steel case, or a pricier 18k red gold option with a silver dial, all with their own brown or black alligator leather straps, complete with a punchy Breitling yellow lining on the inside.

While I did have my eye on the light-green of the pistachio-dial model, Swiss copy Breitling watches loaned me the white dial model to take for a spin, and thus I did.

Breitling Premier B09 Chronograph 40: The Specs

As you might have guessed, the 40 in the 1:1 clone Breitling Premier B09 Chronograph 40 watches full name is related to its 40mm case diameter, which makes it the more compact of the Premier line targeted at men. Made out of stainless steel, this 13.08mm-thick watch glimmers in sunlight thanks to a polished bezel and lugs – things are toned down a little with the case’s brushed sides that feature a refreshingly original trio of grooved stripes.

With a lug width of 20mm and a lug-to-lug length of 47.65mm, I found the Premier B09 wears mostly true to those specs. It certainly has some wrist presence, but is still a far cry from a big, chunky pilots’ watch.

At the heart of the Premier B09 sits Breitling’s manufacture caliber B09, a manual-winding version of its B01 movement. As such, the B09 offers a column wheel chronograph movement with a vertical clutch, which in practical terms means a snappy response to the chronograph hand from the moment the pushers are pressed with a satisfying click, and should also mean longer service intervals.

The movement ticks away at 28,800 vibrations per hour, which is equal to 4Hz, giving the seconds hands a nice smooth sweep. And it’ll keep doing that for some 70 hours before needing a wind, which is provided by a signed crown with rather sharp teeth; easy to grip but perhaps not the most comfortable to wind.

The crown isn’t a screw-down one, but the B09 still offers 10 bars (aka 100 meters) of water resistance, meaning you can swim with the perfect Breitling replica watches UK , which isn’t something you can confidently do with the OMEGA Speedmaster – at least in my cautious opinion. Equally, I don’t recommend swimming in such a dressy chronograph, as I doubt it would suit the average swimwear aesthetic; but knowing the B09 can survive a dunk is appreciated.

This robustness continues into the performance of the movement, which is COSC-certified. Swiss made fake Breitling watches doesn’t make a song and dance about this, with the ‘chronometer’ label consigned to the movement and caseback rather than the watch’s dial, but it’ll work to an accuracy of -4 to 6+ seconds a day; in a week of wearing the B09, I feel it stuck to exceed that accuracy.

While done by machines, the finishing on the movement is very pleasant, with Geneva striping and polishing giving the industrial calibre a nice sense of flair and depth, and the 28 jewels offer a pop of colour alongside holding lubricating oil.

However, the real action is on the dial. In true bicompax form, the B09 offers a pair of complications: one comprising a 30-minute tracking subdial and a running seconds subdial, and the other offering a tachymeter scale on the AAA+ copy Breitling watches rehaut, sitting a little above the dial.

The main dial sports 12-hour Arabic numerals in applied polished steel, which are encircled by a chapter ring with printed indexes and numerals for the minutes and even 15-second intervals. A simple sick-like hand with a rounded counterweight is used for the tachymeter, while syringe-style hands take care of the hours and minutes, with a small dose of Super-Luminova providing a little lume when there’s not much light around.

A box sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides, helps minimise glares on the dial, though it’s not as good at eating reflections as the my OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra.

Completing the look is a well-padded alligator leather strap with a rather glossy finish and a signed deployant clasp. Even though this B09 was a review unit, the strap didn’t feel like it had a lot of flex to it despite having been worn, which is in one way good for durability and supporting the best-selling Breitling clone watches, but occasionally made it a little fiddly to thread through the strap’s keepers. I also prefer a bit more softness in leather straps, and ones that have a more matte appearance.

What’s the Breitling Premier B09 like to wear?

There’s a lot to like with the Breitling Premier B09, from its premium feel and finishing, to the in-house movement and a host of subtle details. I like how the brushed surfaces are at a level that they almost glow in bright light, which along with the grooved edges help give a modern twist to a watch design taken from the 1940s.

I also really like how the B09 uses its polished elements, such as the lined facet that runs the length of the lugs and polished edges on the pushers, which give the watch a lot of visual interest without looking overly flashy.

While there are a lot of numerals on the dial, I appreciate how Breitling keeps text to a minimum, allowing the polished and applied numerals to pop that bit more.

Speaking of the dial, concentric circle patterns on the subdials offer a pleasing change in texture from the main dial. On the 30-minute subdial, there’s a trio of straight lines as three-minute intervals serving as a nod to Breitling’s aviation heritage as those durations are used to for timing various aircraft maneuvers.

In general, I think the top replica Breitling Premier B09 watches is a rather handsome watch, but it has some shortcomings in my eyes. I go back and forth on how I feel about the way the subdials cut into the 2, 4, 8 and 10 numerals. While this style is common on dress watches with subdials, I feel it’s a little fussy here and looks a tad old fashioned; ironically, some vintage Premier models eschew this approach. Other times, I found myself liking the dressy flair this design offers.

While I like the satin-like finish of the white dial, especially in the light cast by a setting sun, I felt it perhaps looked a little old fashioned, and I found myself wishing Breitling had gone for a purer matt-white finish. I imagine the pistachio-green color could be the panacea to this, but I’ve yet to see that model in the metal.

Is the Breitling Premier B09 worth the money?

Speaking of old fashioned, the domed crystal definitely gives the B09 a nice vintage flair, but I found it can make the tachymeter scale hard to see at some angles. Now I don’t think I’ve ever properly used such a complication, yet I still like to see clearly.

None of these criticisms are particularly off-putting, but what gives me pause is how thick it feels on my wrist. A slither above 13mm is not really thick for the cheap Breitling fake watches with a column wheel chronograph. But unlike my Speedmaster, which is a tad thicker than the B09, I find the watch’s proportions and crystal make it look a little bulbous. I don’t feel this would be as obvious if the B09 had more sporty undertones, or if its diameter stretched to 42mm.

I have a similar gripe with my Studio Underd0g 01Series, which shares a few design elements with the B09, but as its case comes in at 38.5mm its perceived bulk is less noticeable.

With the padded leather strap, I was left feeling that on my wrist the B09 was a little too bulky to work as a dress watch, yet didn’t quite work as a day-to-day chronograph given some of its vintage and dressy elements.

Ultimately, that’s what stopped me ‘bonding’ with the high quality copy Breitling Premier B09 watches. It might sound ridiculous to seek a bond with an inanimate object, but when it comes to spending a large chunk of money on a luxury device I feel one has to have a form of connection with it; in the case of a watch that means the feeling of it just working on your wrist and not wanting to part with it.

Speaking of price, the Premier B09 currently comes in at a chunky £7,400, which is a good jump up from its launch price of £6,300 four years ago; unfortunately, that’s just the effect of an upwards trend in luxury watch prices.

At this price, the B09 is one of the more expensive steel Breitling watches, and occupies a price bracket in which you can find watches from IWC, Omega, Grand Seiko, Zenith and Rolex. I’d argue that’s a tricky place to be, especially when an Omega Speedmaster Professional chronograph, with all its Moon-centric history and master chronometer-rated Co-Axial movement, can be had for £6,200.

However, when you take into account the level of finishing, the 70 hours of power from an in-house chronometer-spec movement – especially with a column wheel and vertical clutch chronograph – all housed in a 40mm package with impressive water resistance for a dressy design, you’d be hard pressed to find the buy Breitling reproduction watches with such features for under £10,000.

Given the Tudor Black Bay Chrono uses a calibre based on the Breitling B01, you could argue it’s a rival watch at a more easily swallowed £4,903. I’m a fan of Tudor watches – see my article on the Tudor Black Bay 58 925 – but I think the much sportier look of the Black Bay Chrono, and its lack of fine finishing, means it can’t really be compared to the Premier B09 despite the relation in movements.

So in this context, I think the Swiss movement imitation Breitling Premier B09 watches justifies its price; just be aware that it’s not likely to hold its resale value in the same way as some other watches around the £7,000 range.

Assessing the appeal and value of luxury watches can be very subjective, and for the money I, as an Omega fan, would probably go for white-dial Speedmaster over the B09. However, for collectors that already have a Speedy or more sporty chronographs, the Premier B09 could be a breath of fresh air – albeit with with a retro whiff – offering a classy bicompax watch that better suits formal evenings or business-class lounges than excursions to the Moon.

UK 1:1 Fake Breitling Top Time B01 Watches Martini Racing

Posted on by

The revival and resurgence of Breitling since 2017 has been a serious business. Led by CEO Georges Kern, the private equity-backed company has vaulted itself back into the top 10 Swiss brands by sales, refocusing around heavyweight names in its collection, most notably the Navitimer, Chronomat, and Superocean models. For 2025, however, the less earnest buy replica Breitling Top Time watches line has been thrust center stage and asked to drive many of the brand’s new releases. So far, it seems to be having a blast.In a nicely-sized daily driver Top Time, Breitling introduced us to its new three-hand in-house manufacture movement, the B31, that Malaika first told us about in March. While the time and date model’s round cased aesthetic was fairly classic, the cheeky orange seconds hand demanded a grin. Now, with a series of limited edition Top Time ‘Racing’ B01 chronographs, AAA Fake Breitling Top Time watches is casting back to its origins when it first came to market in 1964 as a funky and expressive timer aimed at younger buyers.

In the hand and on the wrist, what’s most striking about the Top Time ‘Racing’ is the cushion case shape and relatively diminutive size. This is about as far away from a John Travolta-era dinner plate-sized Breitling pilot 1;1 replica Breitling watches UK as it gets. The case is a soft square with gentle angles sloping to the textured corners and a mere 38 millimeters in diameter. The thin lugs, spaced just 18 millimeters apart and jutting out from the underside, give it a very reasonable 44.1 millimeters lug to lug. Even with a thickness of 13.3 millimeters, just about anyone can wear this thing.

So who would want to? Well, that’s the interesting thing about the cheap clone Breitling Top Time watches. It’s a clear gift to the enthusiast crowd — I’m looking at you, Hodinkee community — from a brand that’s still best known for designing and making products aimed at a wider commercial audience.

But under Kern’s direction and the wise counsel of Breitling collector, brand historian, and expert consultant Fred Mandelbaum (@watchfred on Instagram), the Grenchen-Switzerland-based company has been leaning more heavily into its rich past. Recalling funky models from the 1960s and 70s, the perfect fake Breitling Top Time watches Martini Racing edition might just be the most successful expression yet of the fast, fun, and youthful flamboyance era of Breitling’s 140-year narrative.

We’ve certainly seen the brand use the Swiss copy Breitling Top Time watches as the platform for automotive and motorsports-themed and branded timepieces before. Breitling previously produced a series of motorsport-themed 41 millimeter-sized editions cobranded with car models, including the Corvette, Shelby Cobra, and Ford Thunderbird, as well as Triumph motorcycles, among others. Yet these were rather straightforward collabs or tributes with round cases featuring flags, logos, or brand names on the dial.

The best replica Breitling Top Time Racing B01 watches is rather more restrained and subtle. It comes in three versions – two rally car-inspired editions, one with a black dial and white dashboard, two-register subdial layout, and a green dial model as well. It’s the Martini Racing edition, however, that best encapsulates the design shift for the Top Time line.

It utilizes the distinctive livery of the Martini Racing team that has adorned a slew of super cool racecars since the late 1950s. The dark blue, red, and light blue color scheme has badged Le Mans-winning Porsches and rally cars, legendary Lancias on pavement, gravel, and dirt, and of course, F1 teams ranging from Lotus to Williams to Alfa-Romeo Brabham. If not quite JPS or Gulf Oil level in the scope of racing livery recognition, it’s pretty damn close.

Perhaps that’s what gave Breitling the confidence to not slap the Martini Racing name on the two-register chronograph dial. It lets the colors do the talking, and I’m here for it. Only on the closed, screw-in caseback does the Martini Racing name appear. You might intimately know the decorated history of the Italian booze brand’s racing teams. Or you may know none of it but just dig the bold and sporty colors.

Of course, the best-selling Breitling replica watches reminds us that Breitling has a history with motorsports, too. If not quite as direct or enthusiastic as Tag Heuer or Rolex, these editions, limited to 750 pieces for each version, show that a Breitling speed timer can still hang trackside.

The COSC chronometer-certified B01 chronograph movement, as usual, certainly gets the job done. It has 70 hours of power reserve and beats at 4 hertz. With a column wheel and vertical clutch, the action on the mushroom-style pushers offers firm feedback when depressed. A click sets the red chrono hand in motion along with the same red-hued 30-minute counter on the ‘squircle’ shaped subdial. The tachymeter markings on the blue chapter ring are clear and simple, while reminiscent of the vintage top imitation Breitling Top Time watches it draws so heavily on.

A look back through the archives shows the brand launched the Top Time in the 1960s, aimed squarely at the youth market, and in response to stagnant chronograph demand. It seems young buyers saw chronos as timepieces for the olds – that being anyone over 30 – according to a long-ago interview with Breitling’s head of marketing at the time, Georges Caspari. Recognizing the rise of a new youth culture with the baby boom generation, Caspari told a watch specialist magazine that these adolescents had their own language, and they liked science fiction. They were looking to spend money fast and get as much as they could in as short an amount of time as possible.

Breitling’s response was the Top Time with graphic dashboard or rallye dials and the eventual addition of square or coussinets cases that proved a differentiator. The lugs on the cushion-cased models were squat enough that the high quality knock off Breitling watches were easily wearable by both men and women. Indeed, women were front and center in much of the early Top Time marketing materials. This was very much a unisex timepiece long before the concept went mainstream.

With a sapphire crystal and a non-screw-down crown (with double gaskets), the Top Time ‘Racing’ B01 offers 100 meters of water resistance, which should hopefully be all one needs for a rally race. It also has Super-LumiNova on the baton hour and minute hands and hour markers. The perforated calfskin straps on all three models are just 18 millimeters at the lugs and 16 millimeters at the buckle. They feel and wear relatively small and retro, but if you’re a vintage watch collector, they’ll be reassuringly familiar.

The light brown leather strap on the black dial version looks just about perfect, and I’d say the green works too. On the Martini Racing, the matching blue leather is fine, but if, like me, blue leather isn’t your thing, I expect this would look good on black or the light brown calfskin. It would likely take to a rubber strap as well, no doubt. A steel bracelet would surely be a welcome option too. While the compact cushion case is the surprise star here, the abundant polishing is saved only by the deep textured brushing on the case corners that dulls the shine. Many of the early Top Time models favored brushed and sundial brushed cases, and it would have been nice to see a bit more of that here.

The Swiss movement reproduction Breitling Top Time Racing B01 watches and the Martini Racing edition are all priced at $7,700 each. This isn’t a bargain timepiece. You’re paying up for the always solid B01 movement and the limited edition design concept that’s been pushed pretty far out of the usual Breitling wheelhouse.

There also aren’t a lot of truly compact-sized, modern build quality chronographs out there from the mainstream Swiss brands at this price point. The Omega Speedmaster 38 and Zenith’s Chronomaster Revival A385 would be direct competition here. You’ll pay a bit less for the Speedy and slightly more for the El Primero-powered Zenith on the steel bracelet.

And so with this limited edition, AAA+ Breitling fake watches now has a competitor in the compact chrono race. While this little speedtimer might not make you any younger, it certainly suggests you’re ready for some fun.
