Breitling's "flagship model" is actually a formal cheap watches for sale? Sports watches represented by aviation timekeeping, mechanical timekeeping, super ocean and Avenger have always been Breitling's advantageous items. In 2018, Breitling "unprecedented" launched a brand new formal watch series featuring retro leisure, Premier. What you may not know is that Puya has existed as the flagship of Breitling for a long period of time in history. Today, let's take a look at whether the new Puya still has the strength to take the “top spot” of Breitling.

Breitling is the inventor of the modern chronograph, and Puya is the "masterpiece" of Breitling.

Puya was born very early. Around 1943, Breitling launched the Puya series. You know, Breitling's NAVITIMER aviation timing was launched in 1952, while Super Ocean was launched in 1957.high quality cheap watches

Breitling is the inventor of the modern chronograph. In 1914, Breitling invented the first independent chronograph button; in 1933, Breitling separated the two chronograph buttons of the modern chronograph and established the structure of the modern chronograph ( Before Breitling, all chronographs were operated by the crown). Afterwards, Breitling thought, I want to make a "comprehensive" chronograph, which is Puya. In the 1940s, Puya used the best Venus175/178 manual chronograph movement at that time. The shock absorbers provided by Incabloc used Breguet hairsprings (wound at the end), and there were two types: "two eyes" and "three eyes". The disk layout represented the highest level at that time, and was produced until the early 1970s.

In 2018, Breitling Modern Puya was "resurrected". The new Puya is designed by Sylvain Berneron, the creative director of Breitling (the old man in the photo). The main goal of the new Puya is to absorb the characteristics of antique watches while remaining elegant and suitable for everyday wear. In the end, the new Puya set the size of the manual timing model at 40 mm; the size of the automatic timing model at 42 mm. What appeared in today's article is the 42mm automatic chronograph model, Puya B01.

The new Breitling Puya B01 has a steel case and a rose gold case with a size of 42 mm and a thickness of 13.6 mm. The appearance of the cheap watches for men absorbs the characteristics of antique watches, using a double-layer narrow bezel and a box-shaped mirror. In addition, it is an automatic chronograph, so the thickness must be thicker, but Breitling used some skills to draw 3 more decorative lines on the brushed side of the case. Visually, the thickness of the watch is compressed.

In the history of Breitling Puya, the chronograph buttons have round buttons and square buttons. The new Puya uses a square chronograph button, and the square chronograph button will invest more in waterproofing the case than the round button. But the new Puya is very good, in the case of using the square chronograph button and not screwing in the lock, it still maintains a 100-meter waterproof (Rolex Daytona is 100 meters waterproof, and the button has a screw-in lock). This is very rare on watches that are mainly for formal wear.

This year's 2023 version of Puya, compared with the previous version in 2018, has undergone some adjustments on the disk. The new Puya uses three-dimensional digital time scales, while the previous version used bar time scales. The new Puya uses "syringe" hands with large areas of luminous light, which enhances the retro style, while the previous version used stick-shaped hands without luminous light. In terms of dial details, the new Puya 6 o'clock printing is CHRONOGRAPH (English for timing), while the printing of the previous version is CHRONOMETER (English for the Observatory). Of course, the new version simply changed the printing, and the watch is still certified by the Observatory.luxury replica watches

In addition, the new Puya has added a "small circle" at the end of the chronograph second hand, the sinking of the small chronograph dial is more obvious, and the proportion of the dial surface has also been adjusted. You can identify the new and old models at a glance through the above changes. These adjustments of the new Puya also make the watch closer to the style of antique watches. In terms of disk color matching, Breitling is still full of popular colors. Especially the salmon plate and green plate are very prominent.

The 2023 version of the new Puya still uses the B01 automatic chronograph movement produced by Breitling. But we can see that compared with the previous old version, the new model has replaced the automatic rotor of the movement. The new Puya hollowed out the automatic rotor, while the previous version of the automatic rotor was in the shape of a regular semicircle.replica swiss Watches

The B01 movement is the main self-produced movement of Breitling, and it is also one of the iconic automatic chronograph movements in the world of famous watches. Using the combination of columnar wheel and vertical clutch technology, the vertical clutch and chronograph second wheel are integrated in the center of the movement, and separated from the travel time second wheel. The layout of the movement is different from the automatic chronograph movements of Rolex and Omega. The movement frequency is 28800 times per hour, and the power is 70 hours. In addition to the balance shaft, the escapement shaft also has a shock absorber, which is a plus. The B01 movement is certified by the Observatory, with a daily error of -4/+6 seconds. In terms of movement decoration, the new Puya B01 movement, the automatic rotor and the upper plywood are decorated with Geneva stripes, and the lower plywood is sandblasted. In addition, the Breitling that uses the self-produced movement has a 5-year international warranty (including the B01 movement and the B20 movement), while the model that uses the purchased movement has a warranty of 2 years.

One of the great advantages of Breitling's new Puya is that while maintaining formal and retro style, it also fully possesses the performance of a sports chronograph (100-meter water resistance). If we say, who is the all-round player in Breitling, then it is the new Puya. Best replica Watches
