When retro-inspired AAA US replica watches are modeled after specific predecessors, fans of mechanical timekeeping can “grasp” design history. In this feature, we take a look at high quality fake watches that awaken a longing for the past.

Replica Breitling Navitimer Watches

The cheap Breitling Navitimer copy watches enjoys cult status not only among pilots, but also with their earthbound counterparts. Introduced in 1952, this watch also represents an epoch when increasing air traffic revolutionized travel. Numerous new versions without a slide rule on the bezel and even without a stopwatch function debuted in 2018. But classical model variations with both of these functions, such as the luxury replica Breitling Navitimer 1 B01 Chronograph 46 watches, are still available for Breitling fans. They differ from the original Navitimer mainly due to their larger size and contrasting-colored subdials. Stainless steel, 46 mm, manufacture Caliber B01, automatic, chronometer, $8,215.

Fake Rolex GMT-Master II Watches

Thanks to an additional 24-hour hand and its corresponding rotatable bezel, this Rolex model is the epitome of a traveler’s watch. The main hour hand wasn’t separately adjustable until the debut of the perfect replica Rolex GMT-Master II watches in 1982. The two hour hands were inseparably linked when the original model premiered in 1955, which meant that if the wearer wanted his best fake watches to show the time in a second zone, he had to turn the rotatable bezel until it matched the additional hour hand. Nicknamed “Pepsi,” the coveted steel Swiss made super clone watches with its blue-and-red bezel celebrated its comeback in 2018. Stainless steel, ceramic bezel, 40 mm, manufacture Caliber 3285, automatic, chronometer, $9,250.
