The De Havilland Mosquito was a multipurpose airplane manufactured in Britain during and shortly after World War II. More than 7,700 of these twin-engine, two-seater aircraft were built between 1940 and 1950. Aluminum and steel were scarce during this time, so the engineers at the De Havilland Aircraft Company relied on a material that was not in short supply: wood. The airplane, known as the “Wooden Wonder,” caused a sensation when it outperformed its metal competitors and became one of the fastest and most versatile aircraft of its day.

The best UK replica Breitling Super AVI B04 Chronograph GMT 46 Mosquito watches, our test watch, isn’t made of wood, but it is versatile. It’s inspired by the design of the De Havilland Mosquito and equipped with diverse functions as well as the unmistakable features of a Breitling pilots’ watch.

The Breitling Huit Aviation Department had already made a name for itself in the 1930s by developing precision cockpit clocks for aviation, which was still in its infancy at that time. Two decades later, in 1953, Breitling introduced another new type of aviation instrument to the world, but now as a wristwatch: the Reference 765 AVI pilots’ watch, which went on to inspire many other models and quickly became known among aviators as the “Co-Pilot.” In 2020, Breitling launched the cheap Swiss fake Breitling AVI Reference 765 1953 Re-Edition watches, a carefully researched and designed reissue of the pilots’ watch from 1953.

This timepiece in turn served as the inspiration for the new Super AVI in the newly compiled Classic AVI collection. In addition to the references of the Super AVI, the collection now also includes those of the AVI 1953 Edition and Re-Edition and, after several transformations, the references of the Aviator 8 B01 Chronograph, the Aviator 8 Chronograph and the Aviator 8 Automatic. All in all, the Classic AVI collection currently includes 20 models.

The word “Super” in Super AVI stands for size, which begins with the case. With a diameter of 46.31 mm and a height of 16.32 mm, it really isn’t small, even when measured against current trends. Nevertheless, this watch fits very well, even on a slim wrist, thanks to its lugs, which curve downward, and its strong but supple leather strap, where contrasting stitching brings the adrenaline associated with pilots’ high quality Breitling replica watches to the wrist. The solid high-quality folding clasp with lateral push-pieces adds a welcome feeling of security.

A highly domed sapphire crystal in a “box” shape seals the case at the top. Breitling’s typical polygonal sapphire crystal is inserted into the back, which can only be opened with a special tool. The stainlesssteel bezel that circles this crystal specifies several features of the automatic Caliber B04 inside: it’s a manufacture caliber (based on Caliber B01 introduced in 2009), it’s water resistant to 100 meters, and it has been certified as a chronometer, which is a matter of course at Breitling. The quality features of Caliber B01 are well known: it has vertical coupling and a column wheel, and a 70-hour power reserve. The running autonomy decreases fairly quickly in the Super AVI, which strays toward the limits of the chronometer accuracy range as the power reserve diminishes and when the perfect Breitling copy watches is operated with the chronograph running. In addition to the time display, date and stopwatch function, Caliber B04 also offers a complex time-zone function, which can do much more than merely show a second time zone, and the GMT function in the model’s name.

For basic setting, you pull the large, easy-to-grip, screw-down crown to its outer position and turn it, which moves the 24-hour hand with its large arrowhead along the corresponding white 24-hour scale at the edge of the dial and sets the local time in a 24-hour format. Then adjust the minute hand.

When you turn the crown of the Swiss movements Breitling replica watches in its center position, you can move the hour hand for the main time forward or backward in increments. This modern time-zone function, which is making its way into movements from other manufacturers such as Tudor and Omega, also switches the date display both forward and backward. Once the correct date has been set via the change at midnight, you position the hour hand to show the home time on its 12-hour scale. The minute hand doesn’t move along with it, but the previously set time is retained with to-the-second accuracy because the replica Breitling watches for sale continues to run.

Both hour hands now show the same time, albeit in different formats, but they can also be used for other settings. For example, if you travel to another time zone, you can simply change the home-time hour hand to indicate the new local time by pulling the crown to its central position and turning the winding button. The minutes and seconds remain unchanged. If you travel across the International Date Line, the date changes automatically, and it changes again when you come back. If you want to use the 24-hour hand to show a time zone other than your home time, you can set the 24-hour hand accordingly and then move the hour hand to indicate your home time.

The bezel, which can be rotated in both directions, can also be used to set a third time zone. It features a 12-hour scale that can be aligned with the hour hand of the main time depending on the desired third time zone. However, you must remember if it is day or night in that third time zone, and the bezel’s 60-second increments don’t perfectly match the 12-hour scale on the boldly grooved, non-slip, ceramic rotating bezel.

The bezel’s handling and its locking mechanism with a pawl are excellent. The large, knurled, double-sealed, onion-shaped crown can be easily gripped, screwed open and closed, and neatly brought into its individual positions with clear fixed points. The historically inspired hat-shaped chronograph push-pieces offer smooth and firm pressure points thanks to the column wheel that controls the Caliber B04’s chronograph functions.

The elapsed-seconds hand, which begins orbiting the dial when the chronograph is switched on, is easy to distinguish from the 24-hour hand by its color and the shape of its tip. When the elapsed-seconds hand crosses its zero mark, the redorange minute hand jumps one position ahead on a prominent counter at 3. The design of this subdial is inspired by the De Havilland Mosquito: the eye-catching redorange accents recall the aircraft’s insignia and markings on its fuselage.

The time is easy to read on the matte black dial, which has large Arabic numerals and geometrically shaped indexes that glow bright green in the dark along with the central hands and the tips of other hands. Within the tricompax arrangement of subdials, the date window is positioned inside the 12-hour counter at the 6. When the luxury Breitling super clone watches is running, the date display quickly advances shortly before midnight. This indicator is designed so that manual intervention during this time period cannot damage the underlying mechanism.

This really couldn’t be otherwise because it serves as the basis for the watch’s modern time-zone concept. This detail distinguishes the 2024 AAA replica Breitling Super AVI B04 Chronograph GMT watches as a fully up-to-date timepiece, while its allusions to the Mosquito aircraft celebrate the history of a watch brand that has witnessed, and helped shape, decisive moments in aviation.

The Breitling Classic AVI is more than just a handsome watch collection, but rather it’s an entire platform. This particular model is the Classic AVI Chronograph 42 Mosquito (in reference Y233801A1B1A1 on the bracelet and reference Y233801A1B1X1 on the brown leather strap), but the larger Classic AVI collection currently has 15 different models that feature different case sizes, movements, and price points. This top replica Breitling Classic AVI Mosquito watches represents one of the more entry-level models, and I consider it a good value given all that you get. Gold versions of the Classic AVI and those with more complicated movements can easily cost over $20,000 USD. This is a model that on the strap retails for just under $6,000 USD.

I believe it was in the 1950s when Breitling originally introduced a watch known as the reference 765 AVI, which the entire modern collection is loosely based on. Each of the AAA UK Breitling Classic AVI fake watches today either represents a particular time in Breitling’s history or is inspired by a particular historic aircraft. As the name of this Classic AVI 42 Chronograph Mosquito implies, this luxury Breitling copy watches is inspired by the historic de Havilland Mosquito military fighter plane that was noteworthy for its impressive maneuverability. This was in part due to using a wood frame construction, even though most other planes had moved on to mostly metal frames. Wood was used because of metal shortages during WWII, and the result was an incredibly fast, albeit fragile plane earning it the name “Mosquito.” No, there isn’t any wood in this timepiece (though that would have been cool), and this less-light Mosquito sports a mostly steel frame in the form of the polished and brushed 42mm wide case.

Breitling fits some of its best replica Breitling Classic AVI Chronograph watches with a steel bezel, but on this version, the bi-directional rotating bezel is made from black ceramic. The bezel has hour markers on it and is most readily used to indicate a second time zone. I should also point out that Breitling makes two Classic AVI Chronograph models (not just including the different strap options) that look similar but that have different case sizes and movements. At nearly twice the price of this Classic AVI Chronograph 42 Mosquito, Breitling also produces the Super AVI B04 Chronograph GMT 46 Mosquito. That model sports a larger 46mm wide case and includes Breitling’s in-house B04 chronograph GMT automatic movement.

The major reason that this high quality fake Breitling Classic AVI Chronograph 42 Mosquito watches is much less expensive is that it does not contain an in-house Breitling movement, and frankly, that doesn’t bother me one bit. While the B04 is an excellent mechanism, the ETA 2894 automatic movement, which is the basis for this Breitling caliber 23 movement, is totally acceptable for the vast majority of users. The automatic movement operates at 4Hz with 48 hours of power reserve and features the time with a 12-hour chronograph complication. The movement is further given a COSC Chronometer certification for accuracy. No date is placed on the dial, which is a good thing since it would only serve to break up the attractive symmetry of the dial.

The 42mm wide case is water resistant to 100 meters with a screw-down crown, and over the dial is a domed sapphire crystal. Breitling did an excellent job of giving the Classic AVI Chronograph 42 a vintage-inspired look, but a totally modern build with accompanying performance. The case is cleverly designed to feel thinner on the wrist than its 14.7mm thickness would otherwise suggest. Much of this is thanks to the curved caseback and shorter lugs. The sapphire crystal is given a box-style look which further adds to the vintage feel and also allows for a thinner-looking overall profile. Note that the models I shot still have some protective plastic on the case.

I fell in love with this Swiss movements Breitling replica watches while wearing it. I wasn’t sold on the Mosquito dial color palette in pictures, typically opting for vintage looks with less bright colors. In person, however, this is a stunning design and wins because it feels very much like a real aviator’s instrument in both legibility and style. Breitling these days focuses heavily on dial materials and finishes (along with colors and proportions), and you can see far more overall refinement in a watch like this than compared to much of the competition. I challenge people to find something better at this price point when it comes to looks and overall presentation.

Fans of vintage 1:1 China Breitling super clone watches will see much to love, including the font used for the Arabic hour numerals as well as the design of the subdials. The chronograph minutes counter offers a lot of personality given the red rectangles that are designed to allow you to easily measure five-minute increments. The black face is otherwise nicely contrasted with the silver-tone subdials, and the red-edged hour and minute hands are both interesting and unique to the Mosquito versions of the Classic AVI timepiece family.

Perhaps the easiest element to appreciate about the Breitling Classic AVI Chronograph 42 collection is that it doesn’t need that much explanation. Simply explaining the provenance of the pretty design, showing the decent tech specs, and wearing the comfortable package are enough to get most people excited about it. The only issue is that Breitling currently has so many nice vintage pilot-style chronographs that being able to focus on this model to the exclusion of others can certainly be challenging. I totally sympathize with those who are ready for a Breitling but perhaps aren’t clear on which model to invest their purchase power in. With that said, compared to the much higher price points of 2024 wholesale replica Breitling watches with in-house movements or precious metal cases, the Classic AVI Chronograph 42 watches in steel (including of course the Mosquito models) are comparatively easy to choose and enjoy. What are your thoughts about it? The price for the Breitling Classic AVI Chronograph 42 Mosquito watch is $5,900 USD on the leather strap and $6,200 USD on the steel bracelet.
