1. An upper segment and niche model; Designed to commemorate the three major commercial airlines of the 70s. There is no wing on the side of the logo, there is a transparent watermark design on the back; The probability of wearing the same watch as someone else is low, it greatly increases the prestige.

2. Functions are the same; Like the original, it has a bi-directional rotating bezel, the famous circular flight ruler and a total chronometer function.

3. The dial surface is the same. Even though the dial is complex and has a lot of hour markers and text content, no detail has been missed with the advantage of making a mold from the original; The font size, position and clarity are exactly the same, the similarity is extremely high.

4. The glass is clear. The glass is both scratch-resistant and extremely clear; When viewed from any angle, it looks as if there is no glass, making it easier to read.

Now I move on to the review of the V9 Factory Breitling Navitimer 1 series in comparison with the original.

Dial and Hand Details

It is exactly compatible with the cream white dial of the original; In low-quality productions, the dial is snow white. Even though the dial is complex and has a lot of hour markers and text content, no detail is missed with the advantage of making a mold from the original; The font size, position and clarity are exactly the same, the similarity is extremely high.

The glass is very clear; When viewed from any angle, it looks as if there is no glass, making it easier to read.

Sapphire glass was used; Durable and scratch resistant.

The date window is the same size as the original, and the font size and print quality are also the same. In low quality productions, the date window is a little small.

Same as the original, you can use the date jump backwards by turning the hour and minute hands in the opposite direction.

Hour hand, minute hand, second hand, chronograph dial seconds hand, chronograph dial minute hand and chronograph dial hour hand; Their workmanship rivals the original. The dimensions of all dials are the same as the original; In other low-quality productions on the market, the small dials are a little smaller than the original.

Case and Body Workmanship

1:1 mold from original by CNC; The case form is 95% close to the original, the back of the case has the TWA logo compatible with the original, the engravings on the edge are clearly visible, sapphire glass is used. (Note: There are also black dial - Swissair and blue dial - Pan Am options.)

According to the actual measurement data, there is not much difference in their diameters; Its thickness is approximately 0.6 mm more, but this does not affect the comfort of the suit and is suitable for the wrists of most Asian men.

Movement and Caliber Performance

The original movement is caliber 01, produced by Breitling; The replica is equipped with a Shanghai 7750 chronograph automatic mechanical movement. Although there are some differences in its structure, the stability of the mechanism is still quite good and the failure rate is low.

I explain with pictures how to tell if it is V9 Factory; But frankly, it seems a bit unnecessary to verify a replica watch.

I'm adding some real shot photos below; You can view detailed photos from my social media account or from the categories on the site:

Summary: The design is spot on, the mechanism is stable, the workmanship is good. Watch lovers interested in the V9 Factory Breitling Navitimer 1 series can follow it closely. I will share more watch reviews in the coming days.
