Is there another famous top 1:1 Breitling replica watches dude in the making? This week, Austin Butler tried to subtly make his way through JFK without being paparazzi’d to death by the media and its watch-affiliated underlings.
Nice try, Butler!
Friend of GQ Brynn Walner (@dimepiece) alerted our attention to the actor’s presence at JFK airport via a post to her world-renowned Instagram account: “@austinbutler nailing the ‘lowkey celeb guy at the airport’ looque in Swiss perfect fake Breitling Chronomat watches, which he’s showing off just so perfectly you’d think this is a paid placement!” We can’t disagree: With the exception of Will Ferell, no other celeb has successfully pulled off a subtle extension of the watch-laden wrist with this particular degree of casual proficiency.
Butler’s perfectly positioned watch is luxury 2024 replica Breitling Chronomat B01 42. We can get behind the choice of the objectively cool Chronomat, a mechanical bet placed in a quartz-powered casino: The battery-powered revolution of the 1970s had been tough on Breitling copy watches wholesale UK, and aging company scion Willy Breitling sold his firm to aviation enthusiast Ernest Schneider in 1979. After leaning into the quartz-dominated zeitgeist, Schneider boldly introduced the Chronomast line as a mechanically-powered centenary celebration. (Breitling fake watches for sale was founded in 1884.) The bet paid off, signaling the brand’s return to its origins.
The Chronomat line is a large collection, and Breitling seems keen on expanding it. (Victoria Beckham’s Chronomat Automatic 36 from earlier this year was particularly fetching.) Butler’s version, the best replica Breitling Chronomat B01 42 watches, reminds one of early 2000s Breitling, with a large, in-your-face case, a popular “panda” dial with black totalizers against a silver background, and a matching steel bracelet with cool “Rouleaux” links.
The triple-register chronograph with 30-minute and 12-hour counters is powered by Breitling’s own B01 chronograph movement—a COSC-certified, automatic, in-house engine introduced in 2009 that delivers 70 hours of power reserve. The cheap China Breitling Chronomat super clone watches also features integrated-bracelet looks—the bracelet isn’t actually integrated like the Gerald Genta’s star children, but the feel enables this design to hang out on the fringes of the white-hot “luxury sports watch” crowd.
