Testing the UK Top Quality Replica Breitling Premier Heritage B15 Duograph 42

The new Premier Heritage B15 Duograph 42 is currently perfect replica Breitling’s most elegant timepiece and an homage to the pioneering spirit of the company’s founders. Like its predecessor from the 1940s of the same name, it can record time intervals and is breaking new ground as it goes. We take a closer look.

Three generations at best fake Breitling made their mark in the history of timekeeping: Léon Breitling founded the company in 1884. He later submitted a patent for a simple timer with a tachymeter that could measure any speed between 15 and 150 kilometers per hour.

Rattrapante Module Hidden Beneath the Dial

In 2017, Swiss made copy Breitling picked up this loose thread in history with the Navitimer Rattrapante. The in-house automatic Caliber B03 introduced with this timepiece now also serves as the basis for the hand-wound B15 caliber created for the Premier Heritage B15 Duograph 42, our test watch.

The watchmakers initially placed the complicated splitseconds mechanism with its additional column wheel, rattrapante wheel and clamps directly beneath the dial because highly precise drilling of the long chronograph tube is challenging. With the Venus 179 caliber, the split-seconds mechanism was moved to the back of the movement.

With the Caliber B03, and subsequently, also the B15, UK cheap super clone Breitling watches have returned the split-seconds complication, including the rattrapante wheel, column wheel and clamps, to the front of the movement. Placing the complication directly under the dial was done for more than simple historical reasons. These days, modern watchmaking and construction methods allow for various technical solutions for a rattrapante mechanism. Breitling went its own way, resulting in two patents.

The paypal replica watches with modular construction of the B03 movement, and thereby also the B15, permitted shifting the rattrapante mechanism to the dial side of the movement, now situated between the mainplate and the date ring. Unfortunately, this makes it invisible through the sapphire caseback window. The rattrapante mechanism uses traditional gearing and a stainless-steel split-seconds wheel. The second patented innovation is an isolating system that works as an energysaving separation between the stopped split-seconds from the actual chronograph mechanism. The rattrapante wheel has a rubber O-ring that replaces the geared edge. The entire split-seconds mechanism comprises only 28 individual components.

Hand-wound B15 Caliber with No Date

From its inception, the modular design of the B03 caliber offered a variety of options. A self-winding mechanism may be used in this caliber to wind the movement, but the B15 does not offer this; instead it follows the growing trend of hand-wound watches. And unlike the B03, the B15 has no date indication, just like the original 1:1 wholesale replica Breitling Premier Duograph from the 1940s.

The bicompax layout of the counters shows the running seconds at 9 o’clock and the elapsed chronograph minutes at 3 o’clock. In the past, the chronograph counter measured up to 45 minutes, but the modern Duograph uses the now more common 30-minute counter. Taken directly from its predecessor are the elongated line markers at 3, 6 and 9 minutes. These were once useful for timing telephone call charges. Does anyone need them these days? Admittedly, they are attractive and authentic. Less attractive are the cut off numerals 2, 4, 8 and 10, but this design does have a historical basis. Generally speaking, we find the first shop fake Breitling Premier Duograph from 1944 had clearer indications.

Expert Stopwatch Function

The box-style sapphire crystal is definitely a retro design element, but the dramatically curved edge tends to distort the tachymeter track. Otherwise, the double-sided anti-glare coating on the crystal ensures clear visibility of the trendy blue dial. The sunburst pattern shifts in color from the center, and the recessed counters have concentric circular ridging. The tachymeter track around the dial is printed on a slightly elevated ring. The stopwatch track on the inner ring has highlighted numerical 5-minute markers and, as befits an expert chronograph, accurately marked fractions of a second in accordance with the 4-Hz rhythm of the B15 caliber. The hand-wound movement is housed in a sturdy stainless-steel case with a narrow, polished, stepped bezel on top, a brushed finish on the grooved middle section, and the signature UK luxury replica Breitling caseback with sapphire crystal viewing window, which can only be opened with a special tool. The B15 has a very high-tech look. As we saw during our test of the Aviator 8 B01 Chronograph Mosquito (see “Currents in the Air,” October 2020 issue), unfortunately we also see signs of wear from the chronograph levers here.

The stopwatch function is operated using elongated pushers with secure pressure points. Despite the column wheel, starting the chronograph requires more effort than the stop and reset. The rattrapante pusher has a supple feel to it and works consistently well inside the crown. The deeply grooved crown itself is very easy to grasp for daily winding. And should you forget to wind the watch, the B15 caliber, like all modern in-house movements produced by online fake Breitling, has a 70-hour power reserve with good rate results and reliable amplitudes, even when the chronograph is engaged for an entire day.

A Shimmering Dial with Long Hands and Applied Markers

Since only a few manufacturers offer this complex rattrapante technology, it’s a pleasure to see and experience it on the dial of a watch. As a reminder, rattrapante is from the French word rattraper, which means “to catch up.” A rattrapante chronograph has two stopwatch hands that can be stopped independently and rejoined at a later point. One chronograph hand can “catch up” to the other. If both hands are running simultaneously, the actual stopwatch hand carries the second one along, which is why one often speaks of a split-second chronograph. The two long needle-like hands differ very little in appearance but their short ends are easy to tell apart. The thicker top stopwatch hand ends in a ring, while the slightly thinner rattrapante hand below it has an arrowhead tip. These symbols were already part of the Duograph from 1944. Sometimes the steel hands and applied markers shimmer and reflect light so you have to move the UK shop copy watches a little to read the elapsed time. In the dark, only the main time with hours and minutes is visible, glowing bright green.

The strap is lined with a vibrant yellow that contrasts with the golden-brown sheen of the alligator leather on top, which recalls Willy AAA replica Breitling’s notion of fulfilling people’s wishes for elegance and glamour with the Premier collection. Today, the Premier Heritage B15 Duograph 42 is being offered to those who are seeking a sophisticated chronograph, just as he intended.

The World’s Biggest UK AAA Replica Breitling Collector Dedicated a New Book to the Brand’s Signature Chronograph

The launch of perfect fake Breitling’s new Premier B01 Chronograph 42 last May coincided with another important debut for the company: the publication of Premier Story, an illustrated history of Breitling’s flagship collection written by the world’s biggest collector of vintage Breitling, Fred Mandelbaum. For collectors of the brand, it marks a pivotal moment in any endeavor to track and authenticate vintage pieces from the company’s vast output over the years. The first 1:1 replica Breitling Premier launched in 1943 as luxury super clone Breitling’s concept of taking the chronograph out of the cockpit and putting it on the wrist. (While the company did not invent the chronograph, it was the first to patent and launch the chronograph wristwatch as it is known today.) Willy Breitling, the grandson of the founder, knew it had to be something other than just a tool watch—it had to be elegant. The book tracks the trajectory of the high-flying collection, from its years as a watch favored by aviators and athletes to the addition of complications like the rattrapante and the date.

The cheap replica Breitling Premier UK has a long and storied history, and as the keeper of the world’s largest private collection of them, Mandelbaum was the ideal person to author the book. Mandelbaum’s knowledge of Breitling’s history is so invaluable and singular that Georges Kern made him the company’s official historian shortly after he took over the brand in 2017. “My collection tries to document all aaa quality fake Breitling chronographs from the early 1940s to 1979,” he says. “And so this a book about Breitling, and my collection covers that, so it’s a part of Breitling’s heritage and a part of my collection, but there are more books to come.”

In the book, Mandelbaum chronicles the inception of the Premier, including Willy Breitling’s quest to take the chronograph to the masses, and to its revitalization decades later by Kern. Last week, Robb Report caught up with the Austrian collector as he was honored at a reception at the UK Swiss made fake Breitling boutique on 57th Street in New York City.

“Writing the book was a great chance to chronicle and structure the things I know, and work with others to make a logical and coherent story,” he says. “I worked with a team of editors and others to bring it all together. It was creatively fun to do, especially working with the photographer I found, who I managed to infect with the vintage copy watch lovers bug.”

The Premier is illustrated with vintage photographs and archival documents outlining the history and key identifying factors of high quality replica Breitling Premiers, with tips on how to authenticate and date vintage models. “For this book, I was granted unprecedented access to relevant sources, both in the Breitling corporate archives,” says Mandelbaum. “Gregory Breitling, son of Willy Breitling, granted me access to the family collection of watches, archives, documents, photographs, and a wealth of personal memories. As top super clone Breitling’s historian, I’m living the wildest dreams of any passionate collector.”

Of the 240 watch photographs in the book, about 220 were owned by Mandelbaum, and that’s just a fraction of his expansive collection. He refuses to say exactly how many top quality fake watches are in his vault, however. “Quantity is of no relevance whatsoever,” he says. “Quality and rarity are what matter. My approach to collecting is that what I have will probably keep its value over time, but definitely not in the way that some people promise crazy returns on certain brands or models. Many people got burned during the last year with some prices dropping by 30% or 40%, so there was a bubble, but the bubble has burst, and now it’s back to regular collecting, and I’m quite happy about that.”

So, is it still possible to find any of the vintage pieces covered in the book? “You just need to know what to look for and have some patience,” he says. “It’s like hunting deer; it’s not about the kill, it is about finding that beautiful outstanding beast and ideally, just taking a picture of it instead of killing it. That’s more what, for me, collecting is about.”

If the hunt yields no results, it’s good to know there are new watches in the Swiss movement copy Breitling Premier line that stand up to the originals and then some. “The line is alive and well and will continue to grow,” says Mandelbaum.
