Today, I would like to introduce another high-quality replica of the Breitling Avenger watch, produced by G factory, which we refer to as GF. In one of my earlier posts, I showcased a Breitling Avenger model that sold exceptionally well—the Breitling Avenger BlackBird Titanium watch, also crafted by GF. It’s important to acknowledge that the finest replica Breitling watches, whether the Avenger or Superocean, are made by GF. The Avenger watch I will be reviewing today features a chronograph function and is constructed from a unique material that Breitling calls Breitlight. Thus, we refer to this watch as the Breitling Hurricane Breitlight.
The watch features a large case with a diameter of 45mm, which is quite substantial for the wrists of most men. Additionally, the case is somewhat thick, measuring 17mm. Generally, any replica watch with a chronograph function tends to have a thicker case due to the movement inside being significantly bulkier than the caliber found in genuine Breitling Breitlight models. While the 17mm thickness may cause the watch to sit a bit high on the wrist, this is not a concern for those who appreciate larger timepieces.
The genuine watch is crafted from a special material called Breitlight by Breitling Official. However, I am uncertain if the replica is made from the same material. GF claims that they use the same material as the original, but I have my doubts. If the replica were indeed made from Breitlight, it would likely be priced much higher, approaching that of the authentic model. Nevertheless, the case differs from other Breitling replica watches; it is made from a composite of polycarbonate and carbon fiber. As a result, the case is significantly lighter than titanium while also being resistant to scratches and breakage.
The replica Breitling Avenger Hurricane is available in two dial options: black and yellow, with my preference leaning towards the black dial. This dial offers excellent legibility, featuring a solid black background complemented by white Arabic numeral markers that are treated with Swiss lume material, as are the hands. In low-light conditions, the entire dial emits a strong and long-lasting green glow, including the bezel pearl at the 12 o’clock position. This dial provides the wearer with full chronograph functionality, with the small seconds hand located on the subdial at 9 o’clock, while the other two subdials at 3 o’clock and 6 o’clock indicate the minute and hour chronographs, respectively.
The band is unique, featuring black nylon material on the outside and yellow rubber on the backside that touches the skin. Many Swiss brands are now adopting this design for their bands, likely because it offers greater comfort for wearers.
Conclusion: This is a high-quality replica Breitling watch that you might consider while searching for a Breitling. However, I am unsure why GF prices it so high; it could be due to the new case material or perhaps the reputation they’ve built over time, leading them to believe it’s time to raise their prices. Some dealers have claimed that GF imported this case material from Switzerland, but since this is the newest material patented by Breitling, I find it hard to believe how they could have obtained it.
