The new Cheap Breitling Premier Heritage Replica series is based on its 1940s series of the same name, such as the mint green dial of the Premier Chronograph.

The size of the case was reduced from 42 mm to 40 mm, making the proportions of the new watch more like its retro inspiration. The dial (now without a date window) is also cleaner.

The look is bold, but I can’t help asking whether keeping safe colors is a more sensible choice considering the retro design.

The Cheap Breitling Replica Watch is obviously retro, with syringe hands and Arabic numeral applications, and domed sapphire crystals. The steel dial is paired with a striking “pistachio green” dial, while the 18k red gold dial retains more silver dials.

The Breitling Replica case is 40 mm high and 13 mm high. It has alternating brushed and polished surfaces, with deep horizontal grooves on the sides, giving it a touch of Art Deco appearance. Other products in the Premier Heritage series all use the same case design.
