One of our favorite replica Breitling watches from 2015 looks like it was designed over a century ago. The Breitling Replica Pilot Type 20 Extra Special Bronze uses an unconventional material to strike an emotional chord with watch collectors.

Bronze is not exactly new to the watch industry. Several brands, from Panerai to IWC, have already tinkered with a bronze case with more or less success. But when done correctly, a bronze watch has risen to iconic status. And it already looks like Breitling's first attempt is the right one. Although it is not a precious material and has no proven long-term value, bronze has become very popular with watch enthusiasts who enjoy the rugged charm of vintage watches. Not only do they seem to carry a bit more history, but bronze watches are also inherently personal, as they uniquely "patina" with time.

Perhaps the most surprising thing about the Breitling Special Bronze is that it is far from a vintage-inspired model. Cheap replica Breitling introduced the first Type 20 Extra Special only twelve months ago. However, fitted with a new in-house timepiece and presented in a new bronze body, some would say this year's version is an entirely new product, and it certainly deserves to be trodden as such.

While not a revamp, it comes much closer to making a heartfelt tribute than most models borrowing directly from an iconic model. Of course, Breitling benefits from a long and storied legacy when it comes to pilot's watches. And although Louis Blériot wore a very different British Breitling replica when he was the first man to fly across the English Channel in 1909, you could easily imagine finding this watch on his wrist as you browse the event's archives. Scrolls. The watch itself celebrates Blériot's achievement with the intricate engraving of his plane on the titanium caseback (instead of bronze to avoid rare allergic reactions).

There are very few elements in this watch only on time, but they are incredibly well executed. Oversized and super-lit hour markers increase the readability of the watch - a staple of any pilot's watch - while the onion crown and fixed wire eyes hark back to early flight instruments. Plus, the watch's vintage look offers more versatility than most pilot's replica watches(Omega swiss replica watches). While it stays quite large at 45mm, it looks great with a suit - something rare for this category of watches.

While Replica Watches Retailer did not include an internal timepiece, the fake British Breitling corrected a mistake by ensuring that the bronze models have caliber 679, an automatic chronometer with a 50-hour power reserve. The Breitling replica watches Special Bronze is priced at $ 300 and comes with a vintage-inspired "oily nubuck" leather strap with a titanium buckle.
