Perfect Replica Breitling 817 Italian Army Chronograph
We have another military-issued watch, this time to the Italian Army courtesy of Breitling. When we think of a best fake Breitling chronograph of any era, there’s generally all manner of scales involved, from slide rules to tachymeters, creating a flurry of complexity. This example runs counter to that, with only the essentials represented on the dial. The reference 817 was made for helicopter pilots, and issued in the mid-’70s, with less than 1,000 being produced. The chunky black bezel rotates bidirectionally, and this particular example remains in excellent condition.
This is a peculiar watch that showcases the versatility of high quality copy Breitling chronographs in this era. It’s not a design we find in their current catalog, and its provenance renders it a fascinating part of the brand’s history and DNA. This watch is offered by Analog/Shift, and represents a vanishingly rare opportunity to own not only a piece of Breitling history, but of Italian military history as well.

Imagine for a minute, if you will. You’re a young professional. You’ve just received your first pay cheque, and, being an avid reader of Time+Tide, you want to blow it all on a nice cheap super clone watches. Something special, perhaps. After seeing someone on Instagram wearing a Patek Philippe 5172G, you say to yourself: “that’s the one!”, and promptly head to your local AD, only to be told that you’ll probably never be offered one. At first, you’re disappointed, but as you exit the boutique, you spot a lovely little Breitling out of the corner of your eye. “Is this available?”, you whisper to the sales associate, relieved at the sight of his nodding head. Although the high quality replica Breitling Premier B01 Chronograph bears a striking resemblance to the aforementioned Patek, it absolutely stands on its own. With its in-house movement, thoughtful date execution and beautiful salmon dial, it’s a winner in my books.
