Butler and Breitling collide for the Swiss brand Top Time collection’s latest campaign. Newly appointed brand ambassador, Austin Butler, introduces the Caliber B31, a time-only take on the traditional Swiss made replica Breitling Top Time lineup watches, with a set of visuals unfettered in spirit and charmingly rugged in design. Armed with an irresistible charm (and an especially suave leather jacket) the Oscar-nominated actor fronts the brand’s upcoming campaign.
Designed by Willy Breitling in the early ‘60s, the top UK fake Breitling Top Time B31 watches emerged as an unconventional kind of chronograph reflecting the period’s increasingly restless energy. One of the first timepieces to cater to both men and women, the B31’s break from traditional watch design bolstered its fluency in self-expression. Fittingly enough, James Bond wore a Q-modified Top Time in Thunderball (1965), as the cheap 2025 Breitling copy watches excelled amongst motorsport enthusiasts, fashion icons, and even secret agents.
Now, the perfect China replica Breitling B31 watches splits from its chronograph roots (which traditionally also measure speed and distance) to introduce a time-only face. Available in a classic 38 mm size, the Caliber B31 stands as a return to the fundamentals of watchmaking, boasting a sleek and modern design with original proportions. Applied indexes on the dial and a magnified date aperture provide backdrop for the bright orange seconds hand, a distinctive element across all three colorways: white on blue, black on green, and sky blue on white.
Tapered lugs and a crystal with two curved tiers refine the best Breitling super clone watches‘ profile for a more comfortable fit and streamlined look, and each piece pairs with either a perforated leather strap, or, for a sportier feel, a three-row stainless-steel bracelet with an asymmetrical center link.
Only one of a handful of independent watchmakers still producing their own manufacture calibers, Breitling replica watches for men is a tried and true, time-telling go-to, and the Caliber B31 is a stunning feat of precision from a company that remains loyal to watchmaking fundamentals. With a permanent residency on Austin Butler’s wrist, who can say no to that?
Motorcycles, fast cars, leather jackets, looking cool as hell – these are just a few of Austin Butler’s interests, all of which factor prominently into the Oscar nominee’s new campaign for the watch brand Breitling. Today, the Swiss maker – known best for its oversized, aviation-inspired Swiss made Breitling replica watches – is introducing a new collection of timepieces that aims to shift its image in a more modern, Bulter-ised direction.
It was Butler, in fact, who gave the watch world its first peek at Breitling’s latest release a few weeks ago. In mid-March, the actor arrived at the Saint Laurent show in Paris wearing a mysterious – but very cool – object on his wrist. That watch, we now know, is AAA UK fake Breitling’s brand-new Top Time B31 watches (£4,550 on a leather band; £4,850 on bracelet). Breitling has been making the Top Time since 1964, but in recent times, the collection has been dominated by brawny chronographs. Butler’s version is a welcome addition: It’s much slimmer, in line with today’s tastes, and far simpler, with only a time and date function to fuss over. The slender new best Breitling Top Time replica watches arrives in three sharp dial colors: white, navy, and green. For both his Fashion Week appearance and our interview, Butler went with the latter. (They say geniuses pick green.)
Clocking in at 38mm, the high quality copy Breitling Top Time B31 watches is the smallest men’s watch that Breitling has ever made. The vintage sizing lines right up with Butler’s personal preferences – he grew up idolising icons like Paul Newman and Marlon Brando, who wore the living daylights out of their smaller-faced timepieces. “I looked at those images a lot at a very young age, and I wanted to dress like them, and I wanted to wear a watch like them,” Butler said. (Not a bad point of inspiration: Those actors are so revered among watch collectors, their personal pieces have sold at auction for $17.8 and $5 million, respectively.)
The B31 really revels in its simplicity. While there are fewer design elements to work with, Breitling makes the most out of each. The cheap 2025 replica Breitling watches boasts a contrasting inner dial and outer track – the white version, with its baby blue accents, uses this to particularly dramatic effect. The reedy orange seconds hand is a signature that appears on all three colour variations. For my money, I agree with Butler: The green spin, with its black outer dial, is the one I’m most eager to get on my wrist.
I spoke with Butler and Breitling CEO Georges Kern about their new partnership, how the actor chooses the timepieces he wears on the big screen, and the potential for having his own signature 1:1 online Breitling super clone watches model in the future.
You’re now a Breitling man. What made them a good fit for you?
Austin Butler: The brand really fit organically with my style and the things that I love to do: riding motorcycles and living a life with as many adventures as I can. That mixed with just the wonderful team that’s here, and the heritage of the brand. I just learned that Serge Gainsbourg wore perfect China replica Breitling watches, which is very cool.
That is very cool. What did he wear?
It was a Navitimer. But Serge had this really cool band that had these holes in the side. I was told it was because he had eczema, so he got a special band made. But it was very fashionable.
A case of form meets function there, for sure. What do you have on your wrist right now?
This is the new Swiss movements Breitling Top Time copy watches. That’s the 38mm face. Which, I’m acting like I’m some expert, but I just learned this. This is the smallest face Breitling has done for men and it fits really well. I like it.
Are there other pieces in the Breitling catalog that you’ve been drawn to that you think will be on your wrist in the future?
Yeah. I mean, the one that I was wearing day-to-day was the Chronomat, which also has a smaller dial, with a silver face. They just gave me this beautiful Breitling replica watches for sale yesterday – a Top Time from the ’60s.
Those pieces are on the smaller end – especially for Breitling, which is known for its big pilot watches. Do you typically look for slighter watches?
In the past, I’ve reached for a lot of vintage watches because I like the way that they fit. Georges used the term “modern retro” [to describe this watch] earlier, which I loved. The [Top Time] has all the elegance of modern pieces, but with the retro feeling as well.
What other qualities are you looking for in a watch?
I’m into something that, one, is timeless, and that you can fit with a wide variety of outfits. It really is in the same way as I’d pick a leather jacket or a white T-shirt – you find the perfect thing for you that somehow is an extension of your personality. And so for me, it’s so much about trying something on and feeling it. And I’ve been loving the steel band, because you can wear it with any outfit, and you can really dress it up or dress it down in a wonderful way.
What is it that you like about vintage watches?
It’s sparked by the images that inspired me in the first place, when I was very young, to even look at Swiss wholesale Breitling fake watches. I can think of certain photographs, actually, of Steve McQueen, Marlon Brando, Paul Newman, and another of James Dean when he’s taking a photograph. I looked at those images a lot at a very young age, and I wanted to dress like them, and I wanted to wear a watch like them.
Also, my grandfather always wore his watch backward so he could check it while he was driving. I thought that was really cool. I had all those influences from a young age, and there’s also a timelessness with vintage.
How did you get into collecting from there?
I mean, it wasn’t until the past certain number of years in my life that I was privileged enough to actually be around people who could educate me on top 2025 replica Breitling watches and let me try things on to see what I liked. And that’s why [it’s great to] meet guys like Georges, who knows so much more than I do. It’s learning about the artistry and just the number of years that goes into just even making the movements. On this watch here, they spent four years just working on that. It’s just a beautiful art that I had never thought about from that perspective before.
That’s cool to hear it was the people around you. Do you feel like watches are a bigger deal than ever for your peers?
Butler: I don’t know if they’re more important now than they were before. I do think that when we all have a phone in our pocket, and a lot of people will just reach for their phone, I definitely find that the feeling of having an analog watch and not having to reach for a phone in my pocket to check the time is just a personal preference that I really appreciate. I like analog things. These [automatic movements] are great, because you don’t even need to wind it, you don’t need a battery.
Georges Kern: I panicked when Apple launched their watch many years back. In the analogue watch industry, we saw that actually, the Apple Watch is complementary because today you don’t wear an analog watch really to read time. It’s a statement, it’s a lifestyle, whilst 30 years ago it was really to read time.
The fear that electronic watches would replace analog watches disappeared quite quickly because most of the clients have both. If you go on a bike or if you go swimming, you probably have a digital watch on, but people are wearing [luxury watches] to go out.
That’s the huge difference between the car industry [and the watch industry]. In the car industry, you have electric cars. The problem with electric cars is you lose the emotion: you don’t have the sound, you don’t have the smell. Transportation becomes a commodity, while China luxury fake Breitling watches still remain as a piece of jewellery – as an element of style and lifestyle – forever. They will not lose in terms of emotions, the design, the sound, the touch and feel, which is very different from electric cars. How do you create a dream? Do you want to be in an electric Ferrari? Do you want to be in an electric Aston Martin? But you do it because you need to go from point A to point B with. A piece of jewellery will be there for hundreds of years, because you don’t need it to read the time – it’s not a commodity, it’s a style statement. And this is why the Swiss watch industry went through the roof since the Apple Watch came out.
As an actor, what’s your process of choosing watches for your characters? Like Elvis was known for his watches…
Kern: I think Elvis had a Universal Genève, the watch brand we are relaunching.
I was going to ask if Austin was going to be able to dabble in UG, because those are really cool. Austin, you’ll like those.
I will do my research. In Elvis, there were very specific watches that we used when recreating certain moments in his life. Whereas [on something like] Masters of the Air, what they tend to do is put a big tray of watches in front of you, and you try a ton on – the same way you try on the clothing – to see what fits with that character. Because it really is an extension of your own personality and your own character. And so it’s interesting when you are seeing Breitling replica watches UK site through the eyes of another person and seeing what fits their personality the best.
You’re not looking at it as Austin, you’re looking at it as whichever character you’re playing.
Exactly. You’re thinking what’s the story behind it? Did they get it from their family or a loved one? Or did they buy it? How much could they afford? And thinking through all that.
Now that you’re in the Breitling family, how does this spin forward? Will there be an Austin Butler collaborative watch?
Butler: Georges says, “Why not?” We haven’t discussed this yet, but I’m sure we’ll see. The more and more I’m getting into all the details I want to learn more and more about and see in what ways you can subtly vary the aesthetic of a watch. I love it all.
Kern: We’ll make a unique piece for Austin. We’re on it. I promised him already a couple of months ago that we’re going to send him some proposals. He doesn’t know yet. So now you get an email with some proposals to make that best quality fake Breitling Top Time watches unique. Which would be a one-off piece just for him.
As we’ve witnessed in the past couple of months, it feels like whenever the big dogs in watchmaking have a trump card to play, Breitling always has something to see or raise it with. Like when Rolex lowkey announced Leonardo Dicaprio as its latest official wearer of fancy Rollies; Breitling let the news sink in and the buzz die down then bam, it was like ‘look, check out our new racy campaign with none other than the internet’s boyfriend Austin Butler’. I know people who are still recovering from that news (oh to be that motorcycle beneath the Hollywood actor) – not to mention the killer new Swiss made replica Breitling Top Time B31 watches tied to Butler’s grand unveiling.
Similarly, in honour of Tag Heuer being back in the big time in F1 (if you hadn’t noticed, we want to know that’s possible), Tag dropped some pretty badass titanium Formula 1 Chronographs. So, on the eve of the biggest watch fair in the world, what does AAA UK Breitling fake watches have up its sleeve to remind the world of its long storied history and massive heritage in motorsport? A lush trio of new Top Time Racing pieces, of course.
Cast your internet searches back to chronographs that dropped in the 1960s and you’ll see that it was the time for racy chronograph watches. TAG Heuer’s Autavia, Zenith’s El Primero and Rolex’s Daytona Cosmograph all originated from that decade, as did high quality copy Breitling’s boldest Top Time chronos watches. And clearly now feels like the right time to tap back into those bold designs – with some souped-up modern technical improvements.
What sets them apart from other more traditional-looking chronographs are the 38mm cushion cases as well as what Breitling describes as two ‘squircle’ subdials inside the very striking dashboard on the dial. There’s a flagship Manufacture Caliber 01 firing up 70 hours of power reserve and the COSC-certified chronometer means you’re getting next to perfect precision no matter what paces you are putting the luxury Breitling replica watches through.
Of the three new pieces to drop this week, we’re into the Martini Racing one most. Think watches and martinis, your mind might stray to James Bond, who goes weak at the knees for an Omega Seamaster Diver 300m. But Breitling’s Martini is stronger and certainly punchier on looks alone – the go faster red and blue strips of the drinks brand really helping to make the perfect super clone Breitling watches UK pop and feel racy on the wrist. And want to know a weakness of ours? Clock a pair of mushroom pushers and you just want to push them, right? The ones at 2 and 4 o’clock on this piece couldn’t be any more pushable if they tried.
The other two best online replica Breitling Top Time Racing edition watches come in black and white, or green and white, and the trio is limited to 750 pieces each. Breitling CEO Georges Kern knows a winner when he sees one, so it’s no surprise he’s chuffed to bits with these new Top Time Racing chronographs: “With these new limited editions, we put a modern spin on classic 1960s designs, returning this watch to what it’s all about: timing races and measuring speed.”
You’ve got to hand it to perfect Breitling replica watches, over the last few years it has methodically reimagined itself as much more than a distinguished pilot’s watch brand – and it has done so with great aplomb.
Don’t get me wrong, the iconic Navitimer is still the frontman in the manufacturer’s band, but these days it’s been joined by a chorus of equally accomplished timepieces keen to hum their own tune.
UK 1:1 Breitling fake watches has dusted off the old blueprints to many of its most popular and collectible references from days gone by, carefully revived them without too much fussing, and released them to universal approval from the watch sphere.
The Premier collection was the first of the core collection to get its modern makeover, while crowd-pleasing limited edition pieces like the Navitimer Ref.806 1959 Re-Edition (winner of the Heritage Watch category of the Square Mile Watch Awards 2019) gave fans another chance to get their hands on a hallowed piece of Breitling history.
It’s been an exciting period of renewal and reissue that sees the brand come into 2020 on a roll – and that’s before we get to its latest relaunch, the high quality replica Breitling Top Time Limited Edition watches.
I’d happily stick my neck out and say this is my favourite of the new Breitling era.
Let’s take a peek…
The Elevator Pitch
The original cheap Swiss Breitling Top Time copy watches was released in 1964 – 12 years after the world was introduced to Breitling’s first Navitimer – as a tactical sidestep away from utilitarian pilot’s timepieces towards a more broadly appealing watch style.
At the launch, Willy Breitling (grandson of the brand’s founder, Léon Breitling) announced with great excitement that the Swiss movements Breitling Top Time replica watches was an “ultramodern chronograph… particularly suited to the needs of young and active professionals” – a view that was later cemented when an early model found its way onto the wrist of James Bond in Thunderball.
Owners may not have enjoyed the geiger counter secretly hidden in 007’s iteration, but they did have access to a particularly clean and sporty two-register chronograph.
Breitling chose to forgo the external bezel and slide rule we were used to seeing on its models in favour of a pared-back less technical design that suited the stylings of the everyday wearer. Unsurprisingly, it was an instant hit.
Several models followed, featuring a series of different case and dial variants, before best Breitling super clone watches struck gold with a bold geometric design that would grow into one of the most recognisable of the period.
Affectionately known as either the “Zorro” dial or the “bowtie”, depending on who you ask, it is this version of the Top Time that Breitling has faithfully brought back to life.
Pub Fact
Before we get into the nitty gritty, there’s one particularly modern aspect to this vintage reprisal: this is the first Breitling offered with a blockchain-based digital passport, which confirms the authenticity and ownership of the 2024 China replica Breitling watches with a single click.
This might sound like a bunch of technical flimflam, but blockchain is growing into an important tool for watch brands due to its ability to 1) give owners access to the watch’s certificate of authentication at any time and transfer ownership with a simple blockchain transaction, and 2) digitally house anything that relates to the watch (archives, pictures, drawings, the service documents) in one secure place.
In layman’s terms, your “box and papers” are being securely stored digitally, which can only be a good thing as an owner or for the person who buys your fake Breitling watches for men in the future.
Vacheron Constantin chief marketing officer Laurent Perves put it best in our chat last year when he said: “Blockchain is the ultimate technology to protect authentication.” It’s as simple as that.
Geeking Out
Sam Kessler in his excellent Square Mile rundown of James Bond’s best Swiss made Breitling replica watches begged Breitling to bring back the Top Time, with one of the brand’s current crop of manufacture movements.
He got half his wish: the watch is back in all its glory, but Breitling opted for the Caliber 23 automatic movement instead of one of its in-house calibers.
Is this the end of the world? Well, the movement is a chronometer-certified version of either the workhorse ETA 7753 or its Sellita counterpart, with a 48-hour power reserve to boot. But I agree with Sam that something manual wind and in-house would have given this fake Breitling watches wholesale online another string to its bow. When I see ‘Limited Edition’, I like to think I’m getting something extra special for my money, but that’s just me.
Would we be getting the Top Time’s currently excellent price point at a shade more than £4k if we were rocking an in-house movement? No we would not. And, hey, for those who care about historical integrity the original Top Time also had an outsourced movement to keep the costs down for the buying public. Swings and roundabouts, basically.
My only other slight reservation should come with the preface that I haven’t gotten my hands on the copy Breitling watches UK shop just yet, but I think I’d have preferred if Breitling had left the case size alone.
The new iteration comes in at 41mm with a lug-to-lug length of 51mm and a thickness of 14.27mm. That’s certainly as big as I’d want it to be – and as a lover of slimmer 36-38mm case sizes often attributed with vintage pieces, is a slight sticking point for me.
That being said, this is as pretty best quality Breitling replica watches as I’ve seen: it’s bold, it’s clean, and quite unique by most chronograph’s standards.
The “Zorro” motif coupled with the two concave sub-registers with concentric engraving give the dial a real sense of depth, while the faceted applied hour markers and dots of beige Super-LumiNova are quiet companions to the dial’s bolder design features.
The decision to replace the tachymetre scale around the outer chapter ring with a decimal scale I think is inspired – it declutters the dial, while still offering a welcome nod to vintage chronographs of yesteryear.
We know from Breitling’s latest releases that the brand has found its own blend between the old-school and contemporary aesthetic. For me, the luxury fake Breitling Top Time watches hits that sweetspot plum on.
