Super Clone Breitling Chronomat NFL Collection Watches
No matter if you’re a die-hard supporter or someone who hasn’t followed a single match, the enormity of the National Football League is truly awe-inspiring. As the largest sports league in the United States, this powerhouse of 32 teams generates a staggering estimated revenue of $12.87 billion in 2023. It’s important to highlight that while co-branding partnerships with the NFL are quite common, reaching an agreement among all 32 teams, especially for an officially sponsored luxury Replica watch collaboration, is a monumental challenge involving licensing, marketing negotiations, and legal complexities. The recently unveiled Replica Breitling Chronomat NFL Collection maintains a striking resemblance to the standard Chronomat, but the high-profile nature of these timepieces—coupled with the exclusive long-term licensing deal between Replica Breitling and the NFL—signals a potentially significant marketing breakthrough for the brand. On the wrist, the limited edition Replica Breitling Chronomat NFL Collection balances its sports-themed design with a thoughtful and sophisticated approach to co-branding.
When it comes to case design, the models in the Replica Breitling Chronomat NFL Collection are (intelligently) nearly indistinguishable from their standard Chronomat versions. Consequently, these models project a wider and slimmer appearance than their dimensions of 42mm in width and 15.1mm in thickness might suggest. This impression arises from several factors, with the most significant being the extended crown guards and the distinctive bezel associated with the Chronomat. The crown guards, which are prominent and tapering, extend past the oval chronograph pushers, giving the 3 o’clock side of the case a bulkier visual presence compared to the 9 o’clock side. The rotating bezel is another hallmark of the Chronomat. The screws around its edge and the four raised rider tabs contribute to its unique shape, while the mirror-polished bezel insert enhances the perceived width on the wrist, making it challenging to photograph. Nonetheless, the striking reflective quality on the wrist certainly imparts a luxurious feel to the Replica Breitling Chronomat NFL Collection, preventing the primarily brushed main case from appearing too plain. Regarding the overall case thickness, the relatively slim case sides and a deep case back conceal much of the Clone Watch’s bulk when worn. The case back also features a notable element of the Replica Breitling Chronomat NFL Collection, with a display window revealing the exquisitely decorated movement beneath an NFL shield prominently printed on the underside of the sapphire. Like its standard counterpart, the Replica Breitling Chronomat NFL Collection boasts a robust water resistance of 200 meters.
The dials provide each model in the Replica Breitling Chronomat NFL Collection with its own unique identity. While we couldn’t get our hands on all 32 models, both the “Los Angeles Rams” and the “Pittsburgh Steelers” editions we examined exemplify the collection as a whole. All models, including the other 30 variations, feature much of the standard Chronomat layout—characterized by polished baton indices, faceted paddle hands, and a two-sided raised outer chapter ring. Each model opts for recessed, partially azuraged, semi-matte silver subdials and a matching silver treatment for the outer chapter ring. However, each model then diverges, rendering the main dial surface in the team’s primary color, using the secondary color for the chronograph hands, and placing the team logo at the center of the 9 o’clock running seconds subdial.
The “Pittsburgh Steelers” variant is among the more straightforward, classic options, featuring a rich, glossy piano black main dial with chronograph hands in a vibrant golden yellow. Notably, the Steelers logo at 9 o’clock is one of the most finely crafted printed elements I’ve encountered recently, especially as it’s printed across the ridged surface of the azurage subdial. Each of the four-pointed stars is exceptionally crisp and well-defined, and the Steelers text retains its vintage, rounded charm even under high magnification. In contrast, the “Los Angeles Rams” model offers a look that is both simpler and more vibrant. The Rams logo at 9 o’clock is sharply executed, though the straightforward design doesn’t impress quite as much as some of its more intricate counterparts. However, the main dial surface is a true highlight, featuring an almost candy-like depth and vibrancy in the glossy royal blue. When paired with a bright yellow, this dial combination stands out significantly more than the “Pittsburgh Steelers” when worn.
Every model in the Replica Breitling Chronomat NFL Collection is equipped with the brand’s in-house Caliber 01 automatic chronograph movement. With its attractive decoration and impressive performance, it’s clear why the Caliber 01 has become a staple across nearly all of the brand’s chronograph series in recent years. It offers a 70-hour power reserve, COSC-certified chronometer accuracy, a 28,800 bph beat rate, and a column wheel with vertical clutch chronograph actuation, positioning the Caliber 01 as a strong competitor in its price range. However, it is Replica Breitling’s finishing that truly elevates it. The beautifully detailed Côtes de Genève across both the upper bridges and the classic steering wheel-style skeleton rotor command attention through the case back, and the longer you observe, the more you appreciate the variety and quality of the finishes. Arabesque brushing on the lower bridges, matte blasting on the baseplate, mirror polishing on the chronograph components, gold-filled engraved text, and elegantly slim polished anglage all contribute to an upscale aesthetic that aligns well with Replica Breitling’s growing market presence.
Replica Breitling provides each model in the Chronomat NFL Collection with a choice between its signature rouleaux bracelet in stainless steel or a black rubber deployant strap. As seen in previous versions, every component of the rouleaux bracelet feels solid on the wrist. The vertically brushed main surfaces, slim polished accent links, polished outer chamfers, and hidden butterfly deployant clasp are all expertly crafted, but the true highlight of this bracelet is its ergonomic design. Due to the oval shape of the links, the contact area on the wrist is much smaller than traditional link designs, resulting in a lighter and more breathable wearing experience. For the rubber strap, Replica Breitling replicates this unique rouleaux pattern, including polished rubber accent links that break up the woven texture. While it’s a comfortable and character-filled strap, the absence of brushed and polished metal surfaces diminishes the visual impact of the Chronomat on the wrist. It represents a solid, more understated, and sportier alternative, showcasing how integral the bracelet design is to the identity of this series.
