It takes a particular type of person to wake up one day and decide to fly around the world in a hot air balloon. Similarly, it takes a particular mindset to foresee the potential of such an adventure and put one’s name on it. Both require a level of crazy; both are innovators.

This is what happened in 1999 when perfect replica Breitling UK gave a couple of maverick pilots (shout-out to Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones) beneath a mammoth silver-foiled balloon called Orbiter 3 the necessary funds required to try and circumvent planet Earth non-stop.

“This achievement pushed the boundaries of human endurance, skill and courage. It was a remarkable feat – with luxury fake Breitling as its sponsor – that captured global imagination,” says Fred Mandelbaum (aka Watch Fred), an avid vintage watch collector and aaa quality replica Breitling historian. From a National Geographic cover to getting their own postage stamps in Switzerland and Monaco, Orbiter 3 and its crew were big news that year.

The question copy watch nerds will be eager to ask is what kind of watch does one wear to accompany you through such a mad, not to mention technical, mission? For Piccard, the answer was the distress-beacon-equipped Emergency and Harrison Ford’s favourite grail, the multifunctional cheap replica Breitling Aerospace UK – two wonderfully unique (read: bonkers) pieces of watchcraft.

This year, for the big 140, aaa quality copy Breitling is going all out to mark the occasion with what CEO Georges Kern sees as a “year of firsts”. Forget hot air, it giving big energy and killer vibes, which is at the core of everything the brand does, and has done since the earliest days.

“Léon Breitling made the chronograph an indispensable tool for industry, sports and motor racing; Gaston Breitling helped define function and form of the wrist chronograph; Willy Breitling’s fireworks of creativity shaped the industry for almost half a century, and Ernest Schneider helped revive the mechanical chronograph after the crisis years of the late ’70s,” says Mandelbaum. “And today, Georges has brought top super clone Breitling back out of a narrow niche of ‘aviation only’ to air, land and sea with elegance and style.”

So fire up your hot air balloons because the first Breitling novelty to land this year is a new Swiss movement replica Breitling Aerospace Orbiter B70 watch – commemorating 25 years to the day since Piccard and Jones achieved their remarkable feat by touching down in Egypt.

“It combines the intuitive readability of analogue time display with the precision and functionality only this newly developed Superquartz calibre could provide with its digital LCD displays,” Mandelbaum tells us. We’re talking about a 1/100th second split-time chronograph, multiple time zones, and a wakey wakey, rise and shine alarm function all on a rather radiant orange dial that also has the logo of the OG mission on it.

With re-editions of older models, it’s not as simple as just copy and paste what has been done in the past. “Components in the previous SuperQuartz calibre generation that powered the Aerospace reached the end of their production lifecycle meaning no other movement could provide the functions that the model required,” says Mandelbaum. So UK high end fake Breitling had a decision to make: either compromise on functionality and performance, or discontinue an icon, which would devastate the loyal enthusiasts out there who have been waiting for the next Aerospace.

“Breitling super clone for sale chose to design and industrialise a new, exclusive calibre for the Aerospace at considerable risk and cost,” adds Mandelbaum. Like Piccard, Breitling wouldn’t compromise, or give up and fail – which is what makes this high quality fake Breitling Aerospace Orbiter B70 watch, in all its 43mm titanium cased glory on a matching bracelet of rubber strap, so striking. Oh, and some of the original balloon is in the sapphire caseback. That, right there, is big energy only.
