Sometimes, the watch industry is experiencing hard times, so they had to make some promotions by offering competitive prices for buyers to obtain a larger market. For mainstream luxury brands such as Breitling, this means more cost-efficient pieces like the new Colt Skyracer that we have here. In covering the release of the Breitling Colt Skyracer here, we said that it has an “extremely affordable price” at around $2,000. That’ maybe not quite a steal, but the Breitling Colt Skyracer is a solid, sporty watch for those looking for Breitling quality and brand identity and who are open to the idea of high-end quartz movements. 
Compared to other brand watches, the Breitling Colt Skyracer is big, bold, and brash. And that is suitable because this watch is, beyond everything else, a tool watch. It measures 45mm wide and is 13.5mm thick. Nevertheless, the fantastic thing about it is that it comes in a black carbon composite case. Breilting calls this carbon material Breitlight, and it is powerful and light. To show you how the light it is, please think about this fact: it is 3.3 times lighter than titanium. That is rather unbelievable.
Breitlight also has many other useful functions. For example, it has “exceptional resistance” to scratches, corrosion, and it is also non-magnetic and hypoallergenic. In press photos, the Breitlight case looks almost like forged carbon, but in the flesh, we consider it more resembles the appearance of typical DLC finishes. The case is water proof to 100m and it also has a unidirectional bezel, which can be used for timing events. The bezel features four raised tabs, which makes it easy to operate even though you are wearing gloves or something like that.
The dial’ effective use of font and arrangement keeps all the information highly legible, even with the all the digits on the dial. The replica Breitling Colt Skyracer dial has a matte black finish marked by huge Arabic numeral hour markers. The big hour which makes that gives the markers the illusion of depth. It also keeps the dial from looking too flat and dull.
Around the hour markers is a railroad-style minutes track, with every fifth minute marked. There replica watches are extra 24-hour markings on the inside of the hour markers – very handy if you ever need to quickly reference military times. At 3 o’clock, the date window is perfectly executed with the date wheel matching the color of the dial. The sword-style hour and minute hands are thick and lumed for night legibility. The seconds hand stretches all along to the railroad minutes track and has a striking red tip.
No mention it is tough and legible, the Breitling Colt Skyracer has a nice trick up its sleeve. The rubber strap is well-made and cozy on the wrist. But look closely and you will notice that the strap is marked with the centimeters and inches,permitting owners to use their straps as quick measurement tools. Do you know how it works? Actually the watch features a clever removable fastening system, which makes it easy to take the strap off and use it as a ruler. Clearly, but not everyone would think it is useful – what I mean about it is no matter when do you wish you had a ruler with you? But in my opinion, it really adds to the attitude that Breitling expects you to actually use this thing and let it see some action.
The movement of the watch is likely the most controversial for a large number of watch snobs because the fake Breitling Colt Skyracer has a quartz movement. But this is no ordinary quartz movement; this is a COSC chronometer-certified, thermocompensated caliber Breitling 74 SuperQuartz movement. What does this all mean? To begin with, it is said to be exact to -/+ 10 seconds a year, which is much better than normal quartz watches which are typically only accurate to 15 odd seconds a month. In order to see this from another perspective, even the most properest and precise of mechanical movements are in fact only accurate to 1 or 2 seconds a day. Apart from the accuracy, the battery has 8 year period of usage. Obviously, Breitling’ Super quartz movements replica watches are nothing like your run-of-the-mill quartz movements.

Cheap replica Omega Speedmaster racing master chronometer
The year of 2017 was a pretty special year for Swiss Omega who had more than 170 new timepieces to launch. Most significant to me was the fact that a good number of their new watches were wonderful, providing interesting new variations or improvements on existing classics. 2017 is the 60th anniversary of the Speedmaster which debuted in 1957 and the show predictably shown a number of new models, embracing the Omega Speedmaster Racing Master Chronometer which has 10 different models. 
Omega previewed this replica watch prior to Baselworld 2017, and we covered it with the pre-final name of Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Automatic Master Chronometer here. While the Speedmaster Racing focused on the motorsports origins of the Speedmaster, it is really a replacement of the now discontinued Omega Speedmaster Chronograph. This latter model is really the modern-era Speedmaster in a larger 44.25mm-wide case, and when it debuted more than five years ago was a big deal given that it contained the very impressive in-house-made Omega caliber 9300 automatic movement.
Omega replica Speedmaster Racing is another replica watch which is also discontinued recently. It was introduced in 2011. The 2017 Speedmaster Racing Master Chronometer replaces both it and the Speedmaster Chronograph. The “racing checker” outer scale on the dial periphery and use of bright, orange color on some models is where the “Racing” part of the name comes from.
When the case is still the same 44.25mm-wide size of the outgoing Speemaster Chronograph model, it wears a lot more comfortably owing to a number of refinements. On one hand, the case is 0.8mm thinner – due in most part to the more curved versus boxy look of the rear sapphire crystal. You also have new end-links for the bracelet, which point down versus straight out, permitting the watch to fit much more comfortably when worn. As I mentioned, the case shape changes are subtle, but the Omega Speedmaster Racing Master Chronometer is a lot more comfortable to wear than the other 44.25mm-wide Speedmaster models that came before it.
More design upgrades can be shown on the dial and bezel. The subdials are a bit bigger, which is a nice point; the lume-filled, applied hour markers now have slightly tapered ends; the date window is neat-looking and tapered; and the bezels use interesting new production techniques. This is overall the best-looking modern Speedmaster, consisting of handsome, beautiful appearance and stellar technology both inside and out.
I mentioned that the bezels are new. There are two models of bezel materials, being either ceramic or silicon nitride (depending on the color, as the latter material is used for the gray bezels). Omega then uses the Liquid metal, Ceragold, or enamel for the tachymeter bezel markers and text. The one interested me most is the black ceramic bezels with the white enamel. The latter is used for the bezel text on the white-dialed versions, given the bright, everlasting color required for the white text to match the dial. As far as I am concerned, these are the most popular dials (white with black-ring subdials), and as to Omega, each of the baked enamel bezels has five layers of enamel.
Compared to the retail prices of the previous generation Speedmaster Chronograph watches with the 9300 movements, these new fake Omega Speedmaster Racing Master Chronometer models with the 9900 family movements are priced about 10-15% less, which is about $600 – $800 below the older generation models. This stands for a normal pricing decrease we are looking in the industry – which is a nice thing. Thus, the Omega Speedmaster Racing Master Chronometer replica watches are actually expensive, however the prices seem much fairer than I remember.
