replica Breitling Exospace B55 Yacht Watch Review and Breitling Professional Series Notes
I have owned this Breitling Exospace B55 Yachting watch for a while now and have it on my wrist most of the time. In fact, you may have read about it in our article on the aBlogtoWatch team’s most worn watches of 2019 . It’s an analog-digital quartz watch that’s weird, big, and rare—all of those attributes that I love about it, except its rarity in the market and on people’s wrists. Here’s a little more about its pros and cons, why it appeals to me… and why I think it’s important as a watch to us watch enthusiasts, especially the Breitling fans among us.
I wouldn’t try to convince anyone to try a quartz watch, let alone the Exospace B55 which is also a quasi-smart Breitling watch with Bluetooth connectivity and a companion app! What I'm saying is that the Breitling Exospace B55 Yachting is probably lingering at the bottom of the larger watch enthusiast community's cumulative watch wish list (let me know if you think I'm wrong - I want it to be a case), which makes My positive experience with this swiss replica watches is even harder to express.
But nonetheless, what I’m about to say may resonate with you. I admit, the vast majority of watches with basic automatic movements eluded me not too long ago - if you can relate, then you might want to consider this B55. To be clear, a watch with a base ETA 2824 or 7750 would have to work really hard these days to get me as fascinated and excited as it once was. The lack of power reserves, the sound of winding rotors and a series of repetitive functions no longer bother me. The most important and ultimate question of both function-related and design-related dilemmas in watches is with or without an appointment... Oh, and if we do have an appointment, what's the least intrusive location? When I wear a watch for my own enjoyment, I need it to both excite me and distract me from the boring crap.
I won't explain in detail why many of the world's recently produced self-driving cars tend to lack all of these things, as that's another discussion. Suffice to say, sometimes they just don't do it. So, how does the Breitling Exospace B55 Yachting perform? Let’s review the list of selfish indulgences mentioned earlier.
1) Entertainment features of the Breitling Exospace B55 yacht
People's interest in watches is very subjective. The following is a subjective list of what I call the “entertainment factor of modern luxury timepieces.” If you're the kind of guy (or girl) who gets annoyed because mileage may vary, skip to point 2). When it comes to the entertainment of a replica mens watches, subjectivity is a matter of one's priorities over objective components. These elements include (but are not limited to) the watch's brand, design, functionality, and story (or, if not, marketing).
In this case, as far as I'm concerned, the entertainment provided by the brand is absolutely guaranteed. I think Breitling is an entertaining company. As far as I'm willing to look back on its past, it's always been that way, even if its preferred form of entertainment has changed over the years. From scantily clad ladies to fighter jets to bold (and sometimes ridiculously daring) watches and collections designed for very specific and very cool usage scenarios, Breitling has so much to bombard one’s senses with. Of course, the decorative girls are gone - in an almost weirdly all-encompassing way - and so are the ridiculous ad campaigns, but the positive and unique vibe still lingers around the brand. One symbol of these changes is the disappearance of the winged "B" logo, replaced by a retro cursive B, which in fact once appeared on the crown of Breitling watches.
However, this Exospace B55 still has wings on the dial, and those wings remind me of the amazing non-PC Breitling, which always does its own thing. To be fair, I'm happy to say that while things have changed dramatically for the brand, it has remained more uncompromising in focusing on its business under Georges Kern. For me, manufacturing, design and an aura of brand independence will always be a core part of Breitling’s appeal. In fact, it’s been almost two years since I first learned about and reported on Cohen’s thoughts on Breitling’s direction, and you can read all about it here . We’ll talk more about branding later, but for now let’s talk about looks.
Breitling Exospace B55 Yacht Design
Color on a high quality replica watches rarely feels less interesting – and for us bored (spoiled?) watch lovers, the absence of color is almost always a turn-off. Watches with black and blue dials, in particular, opened new doors to the seventh level of diabolical boredom—at least for me. Almost all I look at now are "novelty" products from big brands, and I can almost hear the people from those brands saying, "But it's blue, don't you like... blue?" I mean, Yes I do, it's an elegant color, at least by definition it is a color, but it goes too far and relies too much on replacing other missing ingredients (e.g. actual class, personality and good proportions), to the point where, on top of that, it became a frustrating plan B in just a few years.
Jaeger-LeCoultre is one of my favorite brands and I feel bad for picking them out from the slew of boring, bland black and blue versions that have been released recently...but when I saw this disproportionate When it comes to the Polaris collection, everything is dressed up. Dressed in black and blue (sigh), I asked myself why would anyone who knows the brand and the exciting watches and concepts it was able to offer in the not too distant past want these watches? If you see the magic in them, I'm happy for you. honestly. I really want a new sporty Jaeger-LeCoultre, but I just can't force myself to like these, even half as much as the brand.
In the exciting world of watches, a carbon dial and a splash of color shouldn’t make a difference – but that’s not the world we live in if left to the imagination of big brands.
Whenever I walk into a multi-brand watch boutique, I'm struck by the overall blandness of the big-brand sports watches.
I challenge you: visit the websites of Panerai, Rolex, Jaeger-LeCoultre, IWC, Cartier or any other big luxury replica Watches brand you can think of and see for yourself how many colorful, modernly designed watches you will be able to own To find. Oddly enough, the new success of the brands that everyone secretly envies and talks about (Rolex, Omega, Hublot, Breitling, and very few others) are precisely the brands where you can find interesting looking and often configurable watches ( A concept that is basically foreign to every Richemont brand), rather than just a simple smartwatch. Understandably, people tend to gravitate toward these brands, even if they end up buying something more restrained. Just because someone is a conservative watch wearer, doesn't mean he wants to belong to a boring brand. No one wants to do this. Don’t get me wrong, Breitling seems eager to go down this black, gray, and blue rabbit hole at times, but they also do a lot to spice things up.
Yes, the Breitling Exospace B55 Yachting also comes in black. However, over time (and combining it with different types of clothing), one comes to appreciate the dramatic difference these few touches of color can make. Just like that, the yacht soldiers continued on, the dial engraved with red, yellow, green and blue, separated in a weird and tasteful way. Its size is the undisputed part of the B55, not the way it relies on color to liven things up. The Exospace B55's entertainment potential doesn't stop at a handful of colors.
When I look at its compass bezel with its quirky font (it has an air of adventure), or glance at its carbon fiber dial (it has a sports car driving air to me, a competitive sailing air to others) smell), I get into a vacation mood and of course, this watch will be with me everywhere. I'm not tired of these features yet. Having said that, even though it's been seven or eight months, I still enjoy using the backlit display every day, admiring its brightness and responsiveness, and occasionally trying it out to see if I can navigate a dark staircase with it (I really can't). I also love how unique its click crown works and I particularly like how its blocky design and color match the shirts, jackets and jumpers I like to wear. Then I looked at the winged Breitling logo, and I thought of Breitling jets, and of those who travel to the desolate corners of the earth wearing emergency watches (essentially the same watch with a personal locator beacon in the case) People, the rest defines Breitling as a brand…
…I’m looking at, playing with, thinking about all this stuff, and I’m having fun. For someone who's over seven (or even one in ten), I guess I should be. Put it that way, it sounds obvious, right? sure. However, when I look at the alternatives offered to me by the large multi-brand boutiques, I have a hard time imagining that many of these watches could be used to entertain spoiled/bored watch lovers who don't want to buy their first watch, but he The fifth or tenth.
2) Impressive technical details of the Breitling Exospace B55 Yacht
As much as I appreciate the ticking of the balance wheel and the subtle movements between the pallet jewels and the escape wheel, and the lift angles and one-micron tolerances and so on, it doesn't always get me excited when it comes around. Presented in basic actions. It's amazing to think about how this all works, and how it was conceived - but it's hard for me to appreciate owning one when it's packaged in an industrial manner but has unimpressive chronograph functions. The feel of a timepiece that is on the rugged edge of the possible.
The chronometer-certified SuperQuartz movement remains an underappreciated type of quartz movement that utilizes thermal compensation and specially selected quartz crystals to achieve quite incredible timekeeping performance. COSC-certified mechanical chronometer watches must have a daily accuracy of between -4 and +6 seconds, while COSC-certified quartz chronometer watches have a maximum deviation of 15 seconds... within one year. In the Breitling Exospace B55 Yachting Manual, Breitling writes that all B55 movements pass COSC testing and are actually built to tighter tolerances, with a maximum acceptable rate deviation of only 10 seconds over a year. The maximum is 0.027 seconds per day. Of course, there are more accurate watches out there, like the incredible Citizen 0100 (high on my wish list), which is accurate to one second per year, but the Breitling offers a lot of features that the Citizen doesn’t. replica Patek Philippe
Bluetooth functionality on the Breitling Exospace B55 Yacht
Speaking of which, the B55 belongs to Breitling's line of connected watches, which works with the Breitling app to occasionally sync the time (from the phone's reference time, so it's more accurate as a watch) and allows the wearer to adjust the watch's integrated functions, For example, timer, second time zone indicator, alarm clock, etc. Additionally, the watch is capable of displaying your phone's basic notifications: it rings and vibrates (you can choose both, one or both, and just displays them silently), your phone's incoming call notifications, and incoming calls. This places Breitling in a small club of Swiss luxury watchmakers who have created and successfully maintained a range of connected watches – which is worthy of recognition in itself.
That said, this feature functions exactly like every other Bluetooth device I've experienced: not very well. The main reason for my problem is probably that I never use bluetooth connection on my phone, so 99% of the time the bluetooth connection is off. If you're the kind of phone user who has your watch on almost all the time to use it with other devices (your car, home speakers, other devices), I hope the watch doesn't have any connectivity issues that you probably don't experience that I did any problem.
As I said, I keep Bluetooth turned off, but the app sometimes turns itself on without me asking and tries to connect to the watch on my wrist. I would go so far as to say that every week or two it will even turn on Bluetooth on the phone on its own and then open the app. Strange. Then, sometimes, if I manually turn on bluetooth, open the app and want to connect to the watch, it won't connect and I need to disconnect within the app and connect again. This process takes about 20 seconds, but is still very annoying. In my experience, these are definitely typical Bluetooth issues - but hey, maybe it's just me suffering from the Bluetooth curse, or something.
To be fair, most of the time, the app and watch worked in perfect harmony, even if I didn't connect the two for a long time. When they do, they allow me to easily set DST (Daylight Savings Time), set a backup alarm, or adjust primary and secondary time while traveling. The app allows me to select the city I want to visit and also switch my home time to the secondary display with the click of a button to swap indications between the primary and secondary time displays and show the hour and time minute hands and base time The display in settings indicates the time at my travel destination.
