Breitling Aviator 8 Chronograph 43 in the test-is it compatible with the brand "core"? From the beginning, the introduction of the classic Breitling Aviator 8 chronograph (still under the old name of Breitling Navitimer Cool was not a good star.Breitling Aviator 8 replica watches. Because this is a nasty pretense made by the new CEO Georges Kern shortly after taking office in 2017 by the favorite model of Breitling fans: the newly launched Navitimer 8 / Aviator 8 The classic, simple design of the model is visually attractive and therefore has nothing to do with the real Navitimer design with a sliding scale bezel. Stubborn Breitling fans-to say the least-are "unhappy". The Breitling Navitimer simply fills in the edges with the index and numbers.

After all: George Kern has stated that he is insightful and draws it back again-with a new model series (parallel to the Navitimer), the Breitling boss created a clearer separation between the fun Navitimer design and the new, more classic pilot chronograph The design, which is currently being produced in the "Pilot 8" -Modellreihe position.

Breitling Pilot 8-Based on Breitling 765 AVI
From a purely economic point of view, it is understandable that Grenchen hopes to meet a wider target population through newer and more classic models (such as Aviator 8 or the new SuperOcean diving watch). Since the acquisition of Breitling by investor CVC Capital Partners in 2017, he appointed Georges Kern as managing director, so you can clearly see the direction of the journey. Because even if you are a stubborn watch fanatic, Breitling is not a non-profit organization and wants to make money (of course not just from the core/CVC era).Rolex replica Watches

Of course, it is still possible to critically question whether the "core" Breitling like Pilot 8 still carries real Breitling DNA-I was also very picky at the beginning. On the other hand, the Swiss must take Georges Kern's special revival of the classic design in the company's history as a fact, so that Breitling has become a more accessible watch brand for many watch enthusiasts.

In this regard, the Aviator 8 model series fits the photo: the design of the pilot's watch is much simpler than that of the Navitimer, and it is clearly reminiscent of the Breitling 765 AVI (AVI = Aviation) of the 1950s, also known as the "co-pilot". On the other hand, the Breitling 765 AVI co-pilot is optically based on the onboard clock developed and manufactured by the Breitling Whitt Aviation Division in the 1930s and 1940s.

Now, everyone who speaks French knows how "8" comes into the model "Aviator 8": "Huit" means "8" and refers to the 8 days of the car clock used in civilian and military applications at the time Power reserve. Use airplane. Breitling's Whitt Aviation Division was established in 1938. Its high quality, easy installation and robustness (resistance to temperature fluctuations, vibrations, etc.) provided an onboard clock for the cockpit of the aircraft to celebrate its great success. It's no coincidence: Breitling was a regular supplier (RAF) to British Royal Air Force fighter jets in World War II, which broke out a few years later. Therefore, in the 21st century, cooperation with the Royal Air Force aerobatic team Red Arrows Squad should of course not be lacking...Replica watches price

Breitling Pilot 8 and trimmed wings

Kern's logo changes on most current Breitling models have also caused criticism: Has the Breitling wings been cut off? Doesn't work at all! Either?

Well, in fact, the wingless, curved Breitling "B" has appeared more and more in the Breitling series since the beginning of the George Kern era, appearing in old advertisements and models as early as the 1930s. For the current series, Georges Kern "reactivated" the "old logo" as the new main logo.

You can find a good product, but you don't have to. In my opinion, the logo works well with the fairly simple, retro-style Aviator 8 chronograph. However, I think that the trimmed wings are completely incompatible with the current Navitimer.

All in all, it should be said that Georges Kern's strategy of withdrawing from the historical classic designs of the 1950s and other decades will certainly not attract every fan of Breitling. But: Not everyone can make a difference to the intricate graphics and testosterone pocket watch designs that Breitling has launched on the market in recent years (see, for example, 50mm XXL Avenger Hurricane). With this in mind, I heard from many watch lovers that Breitling has become more attractive.

In addition, it must be said that in recent years the revival of ancient design has been revived in the form of retro reproductions-many watch lovers celebrate retro models such as TAG Heuer Autavia or Certina DS PH200M. . From this perspective, Breitling's aversion to the retro new version is a bit surprising.Fake watches for sale
