All the popular sizes had been covered from petite 32mm all the way to brutish 44mm, but 40mm, the sweet-spot for many, had spent the last two years since the collection’s complete overhaul untouched. The new Breitling Chronomat GMT 40 Replica combines five distinct dial colors with a calculated package of form and function to make the Chronomat collection complete.
The Chronomat that Breitling intends to be its “all-purpose, elegant sports watch” was begging for a new model that would meet the latest trends when it comes to a newfound appreciation for smaller watches, watches that offered real-world functionality with less bulk. Cheap Breitling Replica are cool, and chronographs with rotatable timing bezels, like that on the Chronomat 42 and Chronomat 44, are arguably cooler, still.
The Breitling of old would have followed up the 42mm and 44mm Chronomats with a 46mm beast of a watch, just for the heck of it — and modern fans of the brand would’ve loved it for that. So as not to alienate them, the Breitling Replica Watches China of today has launched a beefed-up version called the Super Chronomat 44, but it’s also cleverly identified the gaping hole in its lineup and patched it with this very watch, the Chronomat GMT 40.
The new Chronomat GMT 40 measures 40mm in diameter and just 11.77mm in thickness, making for a great daily wear. Despite its smaller dimensions, it has maintained the 200m water resistance rating of its larger alternatives, so it has not sacrificed anything from the all-rounder appeal of the Replica Watches Reviews Chronomat 42 and 44. The lug-to-lug measurement is just 47.4mm, falling considerably below the 50mm mark, which serves as an upper limit of wearability for those with narrower wrists.
The crown guard is very neatly finished and integrated into the profile of the case, with gently curved and polished edges that lead to the somewhat oversized crown. Fans of the Chronomat will notice that the 15 and 45 runner tabs of the bezel are no longer secured by screws and swappable with each other — to turn a timer bezel into a countdown timer, as is possible on some other current and historic High Quality Breitling Replica models.
All the links have beveled and polished edges, and the fit and finish between every link are such that it would still remain acceptable if fitted to a best replica watch store three times the price. Sadly, the construction of the bracelet eliminates the possibility of including a micro-adjust to the butterfly clasp. The only small remedy is that the individual links are so narrow that they allow for a decent fit to be found for most wrist sizes.
Five dial colors are available at the moment for the Breitling Chronomat GMT 40: black, blue, green, white, and anthracite. Even the colorful ones, such as the blue or the green, are rather subdued in their saturation and can show up quite dark unless viewed under direct sunlight. Whether the color schemes work is down to individual taste, of course, but it could be argued that the quality replica watches red GMT hand and red GMT text are not the best matches for all these variations. All the hands, hour markers, as well as the pip on the bezel feature Super-LumiNova for enhanced low-light legibility, ticking another requirement off from the “daily wearer checklist.”
On the wrist, the Quality Breitling Chronomat GMT 40 Replica wears great, in no small part thanks to the flexibility and smoothness of the Rouleaux bracelet and its narrow links, as well as the moderate thickness of the 40mm case itself. Crafted from stainless steel and even fitted with a solid steel caseback, the Chronomat GMT 40 is a watch of considerable heft, and currently no leather or fabric strap alternative is available from the brand to help ease the weight, even though the green one would probably look ace on a dark brown leather strap.
