The Breitling Premier watch may not be as globally renowned as the brand’s Navitimer or Chronomat, but it’s a watch just as equally stylish and performance driven. In fact, it seems to be the perfect design for those that want something more traditional, something with an air of elegance imbued with subtle hints of vintage nostalgia. With that in mind, the Breitling Premier watch collection has been extended for 2023 and now features a range of 42mm chronographs powered by the infamous Breitling B01 movement. Let’s take a look at the new Breitling Premier B01 Chronograph 42 watches

You’d be right in thinking that the new Breitling Premier B01 Chronograph 42 watches look a lot like the chronographs that were launched as part of the Breitling Premier’s revival back in 2021. That’s because all of the same stylings are there: the unique grooves on the side of the case, the flat, square chronograph pushers and distinctive Arabic numerals. In fact, Breitling have even reused many of the same dial colours. The original line-up included a range of Breitling Premier Chronograph 40 watches, the Premier B25 Datora and the Premier B15 Duograph. Although similar, the new Breitling Premier B01 Chronograph 42 watches offer some noticeable differences, firstly their cases sit slightly larger on the wrist, boasting a case diameter of 42mm, and inside these cases you’ll find one of Breitling’s most notable in-house movements, the B01 Calibre.

There are six new Breitling Premier B01 Chronograph 42 watches to choose from, five engineered from stainless steel and a single model crafted entirely from 18 carat red gold. The cases offer the familiar rounded profiles, elegantly curved lugs, unadorned bezels and non-screw locked crowns at 3 o’clock. There’s also the distinctive flat square chronograph pushers and unique groovings on the case side and cambered sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective treatment. As mentioned, the cases measure to 42mm in diameter and are 13.6mm thick with 22mm lugs and an overall lug-to-lug profile of 50.03mm. Despite their dressy aesthetic, the Breitling Premier B01 Chronograph 42 watches still offer an impressive water resistant rating of 100 metres.

The Breitling Premier B01 Chronograph 42 watch is available with one of five dial colours: silver, black, blue, copper or green. The latter four displays are only available with the stainless steel case and elect silvered hardware for the hands and numerals. Meanwhile, the silver dial, which to us seems more cream-coloured in the images, is available with both a steel case and an 18ct red gold case and is adorned with matching rose gold hardware. The dials present the familiar Arabic numerals of the Premier line, two snailed counters for the small seconds and 30 minutes totaliser and elegant syringe-shaped hands for the hours and minutes set with Superluminova. There’s also subtle red inflections added to the central chronograph seconds hand and tachymeter lettering. You may have also noticed the addition of a date window at 6 o’clock, a complication the 2021 Breitling Premier Chronograph 40 watches neglected.

Powering the new Breitling Premier B01 Chronograph 42 watches is the Swiss watchmaker’s Calibre 01 manufacture movement. It is easily one of Breitling’s most notable chronograph movements operating with a column wheel and a vertical clutch and boasting a weekend-proof 70 hour power reserve. We’re also promised a total of 41 jewels and a frequency of 28,800vph. Like all of Breitling’s watches, the Calibre B01 is chronometer certified for an accuracy of -4 to +6 seconds per day. You can admire the movement through the sapphire crystal glass back of each Breitling Premier B01 Chronograph 42 watch including the Côte de Genève striped oscillating rotor which for the 18ct red gold model is also rose gold.

Completing the Breitling Premier B01 Chronograph 42 watches is a selection of straps; each model can be ordered on a seven-row link bracelet in stainless steel or 18 carat gold with a butterfly folding clasp or an alligator leather strap. The leather bands range in colour from black to dark brown to a lighter tan brown and all close by a folding buckle engineered from the model’s corresponding case material.

After the sell-out success of the Breitling Top Time Classic Cars collection of 2021, the Swiss watch maker is returning with an updates series which includes a new model dedicated to the Ford Thunderbird and the Breitling B01 movement. The 2023 Breitling Top Time Classic Cars watch collection boasts four watches in total, the Top Time B01 Ford Mustang, Shelby Cobra, Chevrolet Corvette and the Ford Thunderbird, each dressed in the colours and emblems of their 1950 and 60’s sports car counterparts.

Two years ago, Breitling set out to celebrate the 1960’s, the era when the original Breitling Top Time watch was launched, with a range of retro, unconventional chronographs inspired by different sports cars from the era. The original Breitling Top Time Classic Cars collection featured three references, each adorned in colourful dials evoking the paintwork of their vehicle counterpart. There was the red-dialled Top Time Chevrolet Corvette and the green-dialled Top Time Ford Mustang, both 42mm in size with a tri-compax display powered by the COSC-certified Breitling Calibre 25 movement. Then there was the blue-dialled Top Time Shelby Cobra with a bi-compax layout and a 40mm case to house the Breitling Calibre 41 movement. These watches were part of a capsule collection and so were only around for a limited time, quickly proving their popularity by selling out in just a matter of months.

Now as we head into the one of the busiest times of the year for the luxury watch world, with the highly ancitipated Watches & Wonders event just around the corner, Breitling has just revealed a brand new, updated collection of 2023 Breitling Top Time Classic Cars watches. This time, the series features four designs, all measuring to 41mm and all powered by the coveted in-house Breitling B01 automatic winding movement. Alongside the familiar Top Time B01 Chevrolet Corvette, Top Time B01 Ford Mustang and Top Time B01 Shelby Cobra, Breitling introduces a new Top Time B01 Ford Thunderbird watch inspired by the sports car of the same name.

Let’s start with the new member of the family, the Breitling Top Time B01 Ford Thunderbird watch. It boasts a brand-new, clean white dial which contrasts brilliantly to the sporty red chronograph hands, teal-coloured Thunderbird logo at 12 o’clock and teal-coloured small seconds hand. The 41mm stainless steel case remains faithful to the previous generation but secures to the wrist by a red, racing-themed calfskin leather strap. It also, like the other three models, features some subtle changes to the chronograph counters and tachymeter scale compared to the 2021 collection. Thanks to the Breitling B01 chronograph movement, the sunken, rounded-square counters present the small seconds at 3 o’clock, 12 hours at 6 o’clock and 30 minutes at 3 o’clock.

The Breitling Top Time B01 Chevrolet Corvette watch is much of the same in appearance to its predecessor, electing a deep red dial, black chronograph counters, and a black calfskin leather strap as is the Breitling Top Time B01 Ford Mustang with its dark green dial, black counters and dark brown leather strap. The Breitling Top Time B01 Shelby Cobra watch remains the only design in the entire 2023 Breitling Top Time Classic Cars collection with a blue, bi-compax display with the vintage Cobra logo replacing the chronograph counter at 6 o’clock. Each of the Breitling Top Time B01 Classic Cars watches can also be ordered on a Milanese-style stainless steel bracelet.

The rest of the specifications for the new 2023 Breitling Top Time Classic Cars watches are the same across all four designs. Each elects a 41mm stainless steel case with polished surfaces, angled lugs, a smooth fixed bezel and sapphire crystal glass. There’s also a flat knurled crown at 3 o’clock, piston-styled chronograph pushers and a 100 metre water resistant rating. All of the 2023 Breitling Top Time Classic Cars watches are powered by the in-house Breitling B01 self-winding movement which is proudly displayed through an exhibition case back. The movement provides a 70 hour power reserve, 41 jewels and runs at a frequency of 28,800vph.

If the new 2023 Breitling Top Time Classic Cars watch collection is going to be anything like that from two years ago, these designs are not going to stick around for long. You can secure one for yourself by heading to the Jura Watches website here or calling the team on 01335 453453. Alternatively, send us a message at help@jurawatches.co.uk.

Forming part of Breitling’s Air Universe, the Breitling Avenger watch is as tough and bold as its name suggests. It takes design inspiration from some of the Swiss watch manufacturer’s original pilot’s watches and combines them with all of Breitling’s latest modern technology, ensuring a robust and reliable companion for both aerial adventurers in the cockpit and us every day land dwellers. Joining the Breitling Avenger collection for 2023 is a new, high-performance GMT chronograph with a sturdy 45mm case, in-house automatic movement and a sleek black dial. Let’s get up close and personal with the freshly released Breitling Avenger Chronograph GMT 45 Black watch

The Case

As is standard now for Breitling Avenger watches, the new Avenger Chronograph GMT 45 Black watch has a fairly large and robust case with a chunky ratcheted bezel, a studded screw in crown and thick piston-style chronograph pushers. The entire case, which measures in at 45mm in diameter, 16.46mm tall and with a lug-to-lug width of 22mm, is engineered from stainless steel with a combination of brushed and polished surfaces. The unidirectional rotating bezel is one of its most defining features, set with four large rider tabs, three engraved with numerals that correspond to its 60 minute scale and a third detailed with a pearlescent pip. The sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective treatment, screw in crown and screwed case back also ensure a 300 metre water resistant rating. 

The Dial

It’s on the dial of the Breitling Avenger Chronograph GMT 45 Black watch where the newness comes into play. The smooth black display is adorned with both chronograph and GMT complication so you can not only time your adventurers in the cockpit but track two time zones at once as you jet around the world. The chronograph complication is presented on two snailed, anthracite-coloured counters; the 30 minutes counter sits at 12 o’clock while the 12 hours is positioned at 6 o’clock. A third snailed subsidiary dial is added at 9 o’clock for the small seconds.

Meanwhile, the GMT hand is placed at the centre, standing out boldly with its red colouration and large arrow-shaped tip which points out towards a sloped 24 hour scale. There’re also three central hands for the hours, minutes and chronograph seconds and a date window at 3 o’clock. The Breitling Avenger Chronograph GMT 45 Black watch maintains its military-esque appearance with stencil inspired Arabic numerals and large sword-shaped hands, all generously adorned with glow in the dark Superluminova. The dial is completed by a silvered winged Breitling logo to the left of the blacked out date window.

The Movement

Housed inside the Breitling Avenger Chronograph GMT 45 Black watch is one of Breitling’s in-house automatic winding movements. The Breitling 24 Calibre is, like all of Breitling’s movements, chronometer certified to be accurate to 4 to +6 seconds per day. It also promises a power reserve of 42 hours, 25 jewels and a frequency of 28,800vph.

The Strap

The Breitling Avenger Chronograph GMT 45 Black watch is currently available to order on one of two straps. The first is a standard three-link stainless steel bracelet with brushed and polished finishing and a folding buckle. The second option is a black military-leather strap with contrasting white stitching. The leather strap can be ordered with a traditional stainless steel pin buckle or a folding clasp.

Price & Availability

The Breitling Avenger Chronograph GMT 45 Black watch is a permanent design joining the Avenger collection in May 2023 but it can be pre-ordered in advance on the Jura Watches website here. The model on the bracelet retails at £5,600 while the leather strap option retails at £5,350 with a folding buckle and £5,250 with a pin buckle.

Breitling Top Time Deus 2023 Edition Watch Review https://www.horologii.com/watch-reviews/breitling-top-time-deus-2023-edition-watch-review/ https://www.horologii.com/watch-reviews/breitling-top-time-deus-2023-edition-watch-review/#respond Thu, 02 Mar 2023 14:35:59 +0000 https://www.horologii.com/?p=13912 Swiss watchmaker Breitling and Australian lifestyle brand Deus Ex Machina are back together, launching their second Breitling Top Time Deus Chronograph.

Swiss watchmaker Breitling and Australian lifestyle brand Deus Ex Machina are back together, launching their second Breitling Top Time Deus Chronograph. The 2021 limited edition was a quick sell-out, beautifully tributing Breitling’s 1960’s Top Time watch with a bi-compax chronograph dial in silver and black with fiery orange accents. The new Breitling Top Time Deus 2023 watch delivers the same layout but with a new creamy white and sky blue colourway.

Back in the 1960’s, Breitling set themselves a task to create a stylish, youthful timepiece for young and active professionals. So, the Breitling Top Time was revealed, offering modern proportions, graphic dials and a masculine elegance just as much suited to men as women. Other designs in Breitling’s portfolio were set at a higher price, like the flagship Navitimer or Chronomat, while the Breitling Top Time remained a perfect entry level chronograph for young watch aficionados.  It wasn’t long before the Top Time became a classic and found itself at the centre of pop culture as Sean Connery famously wore a Breitling Top Time watch as James Bond in the 1965 film Thunderball. Breitling ended production of the collection two decades after its original release until 2020, when they revived Ref.2003 with the Breitling Premier Top Time Re-edition. A year later, Breitling announced their new partnership with Australian custom motorcycle and surf outfitter Deus Ex Machina to launch the 2021 Top Time Deus chronograph. Just as it was during the 1960’s, the design was a fast favourite with an in-crowd of café racer and sports car enthusiasts.

So that brings us to the Breitling Top Time Deus 2023 watch. Its distinguishing feature is the dial which is now white lacquered and adorned in gorgeous sky blue on the subsidiary dials and speed-measuring tachymeter scale. There’s still the same bright red and orange markings on the highest speeds on the tachymeter scale and an orange chronograph seconds hand shaped like a lightning bolt in honour of Deus Ex Machina. The two sky blue counters at 3 and 9 o’clock are slightly sunken, the 60 seconds subsidiary dial on the left set with an orange hand and the 30 minute chronograph counter on the right tracked by a red hand. The baton hour markers and two slim hour and minute hands are adorned in vintage-coloured Superluminova. The dial of the Breitling Top Time Deus 2023 watch is completed by the pair’s logos with the Breitling emblem up top in its original retro font and the Deus logo at 6 o’clock.

Georges Kern, CEO of Breitling, says, “Top Time Deus is a watch that’s easy-going, rugged, and stylish at the same time, just like the person it’s made for. The modern-retro look beautifully complements the way Deus styles its boards and bikes.”

The case of the Breitling Top Time Deus 2023 watch mirrors that of the 2021 edition with its statement mushroom chronograph pushers, knurled crown and case back engraved with a Deus bike and rider designed by Deus creative director Carby Tuckwell. The snapped case back is also marked with the “One of 2000” limitation. The case is engineered entirely from polished stainless steel with a pleasing 41mm diameter and 14.27mm height. The bezel is left fixed and polished sitting beside convex sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective treatment on both sides. There’s also a 30 metre water resistant rating and a handsome racing-style brown calfskin leather strap with perforated detailing, white stitching and a steel folding clasp.

Powering the Breitling Top Time Deus 2023 watch is the Breitling Calibre 23, the very same Swiss made movement that powered its predecessor. As with all Breitling movements, the Breitling 23 is chronometer certified and delivers a healthy 48 hour power reserve, 27 jewels and a frequency of 28,800vph. With every order of one of the 2,000 limited edition Breitling Top Time Deus 2023 watches, you’ll also receive a co-branded waxed-canvas travel tote.

Swiss watchmaker Breitling adds another colourway to its range of lightweight sports watches with the new Breitling Endurance Pro Black watch. The jet black Breitlight case and matching black dial is now joined by a black rubber strap and electric yellow accents on the chronograph pusher and chronograph hands.

The Breitling Endurance Pro watch collection was originally launched in 2020, described as the ultimate athleisure watch for men and women who prioritised durability, precision and comfort. The designs boasted a lightweight Breitlight case, compass bezel, Superluminova dials and high-precision SuperQuartz movements with a choice of colourful accents on the dial, crown, chronograph pusher and strap. The original line-up was available in exciting hues of red, orange, yellow, white and blue with a belated Breitling Endurance Pro Green watch arriving late last year. The series also includes a rare smoky red-dialled edition known as the Breitling Endurance Pro Ironman watch which honours the triathlon of the same name. Now for 2023, the collection introduces one of its stealthiest designs yet, the new Breitling Endurance Pro Black watch

The Breitling Endurance Pro Black watch is almost an exact duplicate of its predecessors, differing only for its black rubber strap and bold yellow accents. The case is still engineered from the luxury watch brand’s well-known Breitlight material, a patented material created in-house from high-tech polymer strengthened with composite fibres. It is renowned for being 3.3 times lighter than titanium and 5.8 times lighter than steel as well as nonmagnetic, thermally stable, hypoallergenic, and totally scratch proof. Appearance-wise, the material is almost jet black with a slight texture across its surface giving it a more unique look compared to classic steel cases with a black DLC coating.

Breitlight makes its way across the entirety of the Breitling Endurance Pro Black watch including its 44mm diameter and 12.5mm height, the curved lugs, screw down case back and bi-directional rotating bezel. The bezel is adorned with a white compass scale and pairs with a non-screw locked crown at 3 o’clock, knurled and decorated in a black rubber ring, and two chronograph pushers. The pusher at the 2 o’clock position reveals a hint of yellow on its rubber insert. The case also delivers scratch resistant sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective treatment on both sides and a 100 metre water resistant rating.

The dial of the Breitling Endurance Pro Black watch also appears identical to previous designs dressed entirely in black and adorned with large Arabic numerals and propeller-shaped hands in Superluminova. For the first time, the pulsometer scale around the edge, which can be used to measure your heart rate, is done in black and vivid yellow colouring is added to the central chronograph seconds hand and the hands on the 30 minutes counter and 1/10th second counter. The counters are slightly recessed, matching again in black, pairing with the small seconds subsidiary dial at 6 o’clock. A date window is also included between the 4 and 5 o’clock position.

Powering the Breitling Endurance Pro Black watch is one of Breitling’s thermocompensated SuperQuartz movements. As always, the Breitling B82 Calibre promises to be 10 times more accurate than a standard quartz movement and has been COSC certified to -4 to +6 seconds per day. Finalising the design is a black rubber strap embossed with the Breitling logo. It secures to the wrist by a pin buckle engineered from Breitlight.

With the Six Nations Rugby Championship just days away, Official Timing Partner Breitling launches a collection of six limited edition Chronomat watches dressed in the logos and liveries of the six countries competing. The Breitling Chronomat B01 Six Nations watches are limited to 150 pieces each and are individually dedicated to England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, France and Italy.

It was this time last year, just before the start of the 2022 Six Nations Championship, that Breitling announced a three-year partnership with Six Nations Rugby. The collaboration sees the Swiss luxury watch brand became the Official Timing Partner of the Guinness Six Nations, the Women’s Six Nations, the Autumn Nations Series, and the 2023 RWC warm-up matches. As part of the partnership, Breitling have also formed the Breitling Rugby Squad which consists of Kyle Sinckler for England, Hamish Watson for Scotland, George North for Wales, Conor Murray for Ireland; former players France’s Vincent Clerc and Italy’s Martín Castrogiovanni; and former Welsh international rugby union captain and presenter Sam Warburton.

“The partnership between Breitling and Six Nations Rugby is a hugely exciting moment for everyone involved,” says Six Nations Rugby CEO Ben Morel. “It is a partnership of firsts; an Official Timing Partner supporting the women’s game and a progressive new partnership, spanning all Six Nations Rugby annual competitions. As such, a huge amount of credit goes to the unions for creating these championship opportunities, and to Breitling for bringing their enthusiasm to all aspects of this partnership.”

The Case

Before we get into the bold and exciting dial colours debuting on the new Breitling Chronomat B01 Six Nations Limited Edition watches, let’s first take a look at the main exterior. The cases of the 150-piece limited editions follow in the footsteps of the Breitling Chronomat B01 42 watches launched back in 2020 which tributes the historic Breitling Frecce Tricolori chronograph launched in 1983 with its iconic interchangeable rider tabs. This unique technology applies to the new Breitling Chronomat B01 Six Nations watches too which present strong stainless steel unidirectional bezels equipped with interchangeable tabs at the 15 and 45 positions. This means you can choose whether you want to use your timepiece to count up or down.

The rest of the case is also engineered from stainless steel including the screw in domed onion-shaped crown and chronograph pushers, both allowing for a 200 metre water resistant rating. There’s also sapphire crystal glass on both the front and back of each Breitling Chronomat B01 Six Nations watch with the topside convex and adorned in anti-reflective coating. The dimensions for the limited editions are 42mm for the diameter, 15.1mm for thickness and a height of 50.5mm. There’s also a lug width of 22mm and a total approximate weight of 200 grams.

The Dial(s)

The real novelty of the Breitling Chronomat B01 Six Nations Limited Edition watches is the dial which has been beautifully coloured in the liveries and logos of its nominated team. The Breitling Chronomat B01 Six Nations England watch presents the tri-compax chronograph dial is a crisp white colour with bright red chronograph hands to match with the red of the English Rose logo placed upon the small seconds dial at 3 o’clock. The team’s emblem is also decorated on the case back. This premise is applied to all six of the Breitling Chronomat B01 Six Nations watches: the Breitling Six Nations Scotland watch elects a dark blue display with lighter blue accents, the Breitling Six Nations Ireland watch is fully adorned in a deep forest green, the Breitling Six Nations Wales watch boasts a dark burgundy dial with green chronograph hands, the Breitling Six Nations France watch nominates a dark blue backdrop with red accents and the Breitling Six Nations Italy watch comes with a sky blue dial with red chronograph hands.

The rest of the dial maintains the characteristics of previous Chronomat B01 Chronograph watches with a tri-compax display with the small seconds at 9 o’clock, the 30 minutes at 3 o’clock and the 12 hour totaliser at 6 o’clock. The subsidiary dials are silvered in all editions other than the Breitling Chronomat B01 Six Nations Wales watch which instead pairs its dark red dial with black counters. Across the collection, there’s the familiar applied indexes and sleek hands adorned with Superluminova inserts and an integrated date window at 6 o’clock.

The Movement

Powering the Breitling Chronomat B01 Six Nations Limited Edition watches is the Breitling Manufacture Calibre B01 which has been developed entirely in-house by the Swiss watch brand and chronometer certified for optimal precision. It comes with an impressive 70 hour power reserve, 47 jewels and a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. As mentioned, you can admire the movement including its Cotes de Geneva decorated oscillating rotor through the exhibition case back.

The Strap

Completing each Breitling Chronomat B01 Six Nations watch is the famous Rouleaux bracelet in stainless steel. It preserves the vintage rife-shell style links that seamlessly blend out of the case and lugs. The strap closes by a classic folding buckle engraved with the Breitling logo.

Price & Availability

The Breitling Chronomat B01 Six Nations watches retail at £7,300 and are available to order now from the Jura Watches website. They are limited to 150 pieces each (that’s 150 pieces for every nation) and with every watch you’ll also receive a GWP Gilbert Breitling branded rugby ball.

We’ve barely made it through the first month of the year and the luxury watch world has already established what the craze for 2023 will be. Following Patek Philippes’ launch of a sell-out 5711 model with a light blue or ‘Tiffany Blue’ dial, watch connoisseurs everywhere have been trying to find the next best alternative. To help those searching for their own Tiffany Dial watch, we’ve hand-selected some of our personal favourites with centrepieces adorned in shades varying from turquoise, aquamarine and mint green…

Tissot PRX Watch (T1374101109101)

A Tiffany Blue Dial watch that has become ALMOST as popular as the Patek is this Tissot PRX and when you pair them side by side, you can see why. The Tissot PRX watch under reference T1374101109101 offers a similar architecture to the Patek with a 39.5mm tonneau-shaped stainless steel case, a streamline integrated metal bracelet and a gorgeous brushed mint green dial at the centre. The Tissot PRX watch also boasts sapphire crystal glass, a 100 metre water resistant rating and a Swiss quartz movement. It is also significantly cheaper than most of the Tiffany Dial watches out there retailing at only £295 – that’s 176 times less than the Patek.

Gucci 25H Watch (YA163409)

Another watch incredibly close in looks to the Patek and also a fraction of the price is this Gucci 25H watch under reference YA163409. On its launch in 2021, the Gucci 25H collection was one hell of a surprise to everyone as it was the first time we’d truly seen a fashion brand properly master the art of luxury watchmaking. It’s elegant integrated architecture includes a flat, smooth bezel and a five-link bracelet joined together by a case diameter of 38mm. In this case, it isn’t actually the dial that exudes the gorgeous turquoise shade, but instead the sapphire crystal glass that is tinted in ocean blue.  There’s also a 30 metre water resistant rating and a quartz movement, all available at a retail price of £1,250.

Doxa Sub 200 Aquamarine Watch (799.10.241.10)

Yet another Tiffany Blue Dial watch that has taken the internet by storm, and like the Tissot PRX mentioned above is becoming hard to find,  the DOXA Sub 200 Aquamarine watch stays on trend with a gorgeous ocean-inspired display. The DOXA 200 is quite easily one of our favourite dive watch reboots of the last few years, beautifully tributing the brand’s history (which we urge you to read more on) with a gorgeous beads-of-rice-bracelet and retro-styled markers and hands on the bold blue dial. The Doxa Sub 200 Aquamarine watch measures to 42mm in diameter and is engineered from stainless steel with a unidirectional rotating bezel, sapphire crystal glass and a 200 metre water resistant rating. We’re also warranted an automatic winding movement with a 38 hour power reserve – something that does not seem reflected in the £990 retail price.

Breitling Superocean III Automatic 44 Watch (A17376211L2A1)

Going up the ladder a bit here in both price and performance, next up in our run down of Tiffany Blue Dial watches that make a better alternative to the Patek Philippe 5711 model is the Breitling Superocean III Automatic 44 watch. This design was launched only last year (we reviewed it in much better detail here if you’re interested), as a tribute to Breitling’s original Slow Motion watch from the 1960’s. There is a wide selection of bold and bright dial colours to choose from but the Breitling Superocean III Automatic 44 watch with the aquamarine dial was always a favourite of ours. The design mimics the historic Slow Motion watch with a statement minutes track, thin ceramic inlay bezel with a metal rehaut, retro hands and markers and a 44mm stainless steel case. This watch retails at £4,000 which is echoed in the in-house automatic winding movement with 42 hour power reserve and 300 metre water resistant rating.

Oris Divers Sixty Five Cotton Candy Bronze Sky Blue Watch (01 733 7771 3155-07 3 19 02BR)

Significantly different in style to the Patek, this Oris Divers Sixty Five Cotton Candy Bronze watch is still a worthy competitor with its own Tiffany Blue dial. The handsome sky blue centrepiece is wrapped up in a 38mm bronze case which will develop its unique patina over time, changing colour and becoming completely bespoke to the wearer. The case presents a closed steel back, a 100 metre water resistant rating and a 60 minute divers bezel. The Oris Divers Sixty Five Cotton Candy Bronze Sky Blue is also powered by an automatic winding movement with a 38 hour power reserve and secures to the wrist by a Tiffany Blue-coloured perlon strap and a bronze pin buckle. This design retails at £1,900.

BALL Engineer III Marvelight Chronometer Watch (NM9026C-S6CJ-IBE)

American watch brand BALL aren’t typically ones to push the boat out very far when it comes to bright dial colours, but for this occasion, they do have a gorgeous light blue dial option. The BALL Engineer III Marvelight Chronometer watch showcases the luxury watchmaker’s prowess with legibility and robustness with the Tiffany dial beautifully adorned with 15 micro gas tubes which glow incredibly bright – brighter than Superluminova – for up to 25 years without any need for recharge. The case measures to 40mm and is crafted from stainless steel with a 100 metre water resistance, screw in crown, sapphire crystal glass and a handsome tapering steel bracelet. As its name suggests, the BALL Engineer III Marvelight Chronometer watch is also powered by a chronometer certified automatic winding movement and retails at £1,930.

Baume et Mercier Riviera Watch (10612)

Another huge competitor to the original Tiffany-coloured Patek Philippe is this Baume et Mercier Riviera watch. In a similar fashion to how the Patek’s dial is horizontally striped, the turquoise blue display of this Baume et Mercier watch is horizontally embossed with a unique wave-like effect for beautiful light play. The Tiffany Blue watch dial is then housed beneath scratch resistant sapphire crystal glass and framed by the Riviera’s iconic dodecagonal bezel secured by four hexagon-shaped screws. The Baume et Mercier Riviera watch retails at £1,640 and delivers a 36mm steel case, matching steel bracelet, 100 metre water resistance and a traditional Swiss made quartz movement.

Bremont Lady K Sky Watch (LADY-K-SK-SS-B)

The final three designs in our run down of best Tiffany Dial watches are women’s models, offering slightly smaller case diameters and plenty of diamond decoration – but they may also suit men with smaller wrists. First up is this dreamy Bremont Lady K Sky watch which takes its name from its lovely sunray brushed dial inspired by the colour of the sky during a British summer. The dial gives way to a range of diamond indexes to match with the row of diamonds set upon the bezel. The stainless steel case sits on the wrist at 34mm and secures by a three-row link bracelet. There’s also sapphire crystal glass, an impressive 100 metre water resistant rating and an automatic winding movement displayed through the case back. The Bremont Lady K Sky watch retails at £5,795.

Breitling Super Chronomat Automatic 38 Iced Blue Watch (A17356531C1A1)

This Breitling Super Chronomat Automatic 38 watch is a sparkly masterpiece, glistening with its sunray brushed Tiffany blue watch dial, lab-grown diamond bezel and unique blue ceramic rider tabs. Measuring to 38mm in diameter, this could easily be a men’s or ladies timepiece for the everyday, offering a stainless steel case, unidirectional rotating bezel, 100 metre water resistant rating and a chronometer certified automatic winding movement. The latter delivers a 38 hour power reserve and classic time-and-date function with Superluminova hands. The Breitling Super Chronomat Automatic 38 Iced Blue watch is a little more on the pricey side due to the mass of gemstones used for decoration with a retail price of £8,550.

IWC Portofino Auto 34 Blue Watch (IW357416)

Last but certainly not least on our list of 10 Tiffany Blue Dial watches is this IWC Portofino Auto 34 watch. With its elegant pastel blue dial, this women’s IWC watch exudes elegance and sophistication, opting for delicate single diamonds dot indices to pair with the baton markers and Roman numerals. At the centre, feuille-shaped hands for the hours and minutes join with a straight seconds hand powered by one of IWC’s automatic winding movements. The 42-hour movement is kept hidden behind a case back to assist in a 30 metre water resistant rating. The IWC Portofino Auto 34 watch completes its 34mm stainless steel case with a muted grey strap and retails at £4,800.
