CHRONOMAT EVOLUTION
The Breitling Chronomat Evolution is one of the best and most popular replicas on the market. Like all replicas, however, they are never 100% perfect. One reason is that Breitling have many slight variations between the different models which go un-noticed or ignored by the replica makers.
The table below lists all the genuine models I know of and their slight variances. If you're looking at buying used, check that the details on your prospective watch matches exactly what is listed here. To the best of my knowledge, NONE of the replicas have every last detail right!
In addition, check there is a tick mark at the 11 minute mark on the upper sub-dial and the date font is correct.
UPDATE: Note that this picture is of the v1 replica. There is now a v2 with the 11 minute mark and correct date font. However, the errors with the tick marks still remain.
