GF Factory Breitling Blackbird (SR-71 spy plane) V4 version watch review

The Breitling Wristwatch model is produced by the leading Super Clone manufacturer workshops with a 5th class titanium case, standard case diameter and ETA 2824-2 caliber architecture in accordance with Swiss norms. It is among the most successful 1:1 super clone watch reviews on the market, with its sapphire crystal AR coating glass, original case tolerances and detailed workmanship.

44 millimeters, thickness 12.7 millimeters! It is exactly compatible with the original dimensions. The dark gun gray case coating uses vacuum ion plating technology (the color is pressed into the titanium alloy with high pressure); This increases the density and hardness of the coating, giving the watch the ability to withstand all kinds of harsh environments and ensuring that the color never fades. The color of the lume dots on the bezel is the same as the original; A piece of sapphire crystal glass is placed on the lume points, and the workmanship and materials are identical to the original.

Dial and Hand Details

The dial, which is first sandblasted and then machined, surpasses the shiny surface in terms of texture. When three-dimensional hour markers and the brand logo are added, the 3D effect comes to the fore and visual perception is strengthened. Combined with the Lume filling, it is quite suitable for the current popular watch design concept. The calendar font and dial logo are processed with overprinting technique; When viewed from the side, it feels slightly fluffy. The ground pattern of the dial has been sifted and corrected countless times. The Breitling metal logo on it is produced with a separate mold.

Case and Body Workmanship

As a sports watch suitable for diving, the bezel can also rotate in one direction; This ensures safety in underwater work. I will draw the signs of the curved bezel very clearly here, because GF is very successful in the detail work at this point; He has deeply reinterpreted the original and embroidered a matte floor pattern on the bottom.

The winding handle, which resembles a grenade - we often call it the crown - is already very impressive with its original design. The treatment of the logo reveals the appeal of the brand; On the other hand, its hand-screwed structure guarantees high water resistance.

An etching effect was used in the engraving and laser printing on the back of the case and the ground pattern. This craftsmanship is quite common; The deeper it is processed, the higher level it is considered. We can also see GF's quality control from the photos.

The original comes with a modified Cal.17 movement based on ETA2824. In the photo is GF's Seagull 2824 clone movement; Moreover, in a rare way, ETA and V8 steel stamps are stamped under the balance wheel. Although the mechanism structure of Seagull 2824 is the same as the ETA2824, steel stamping on the main platinum is still not a common thing. Therefore, this Blackbird copy of GF is considered a work of detail, from inside to outside.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

Unlike previous Blackbird versions, the V4 version uses a fluoride rubber strap; Flexibility and comfort of use are increased. The logo on the buckle is inlaid from the inside.

The tough-looking titanium alloy case, combined with the charcoal gray Military strap, fully reveals the masculine appeal of the brand and offers a light and comfortable wearing experience.
