A new Local Limited Edition
At the tail end of 2024, Breitling’s Zurich boutique launched the sequel to their first local limited edition. In comes the Navitimer Zurich Edition 2.0, a limited edition that may not look unique at first glance but does actually come with quite a unique dial color which places it in somewhat of an idiosyncratic position within Breitling’s catalog. The UK AAA Breitling replica watches is limited to 140 units to commemorate 140 years since Breitling’s conception.
The Dilemma of Production Numbers
Limited edition watches often stir up discussions in the watch community. Subjects like design, number of units, and commemoration become hot topics. Limited edition Breitling fake watches for sale are without a doubt an exciting thing, but I feel the biggest challenge for the brand lies with the number of units they choose to produce. For example, if a brand’s annual production is at 80,000 and they produce a watch limited to 5000 units, is it really “limited”? Taking this practice into account, one could claim every single watch is “limited” regardless of what’s claimed by the brand.
Rarity and Accessibility
Finding that sweet spot between too much and too little has proven to be a challenging endeavor: Balancing rarity with reasonable accessibility, if you will. How well the brand hits that sweet spot often becomes apparent on the secondary market. For example, if the secondary prices are 200% above retail, perhaps production was too low, at the same time if the high quality replica Breitling watches is 40% off retail on the secondary, perhaps too many were produced.
Strategizing with a Limited Release
I’m not one to advocate “investing” in best Breitling copy watches UK, but it is a fact that the value a watch holds is an aspect people care about whether they decide to resell or not. Several brands have switched to “limited production” in the last few years because it enables them to produce for as long as they see fit. This gives the brand leverage over the secondary market and lets them observe the secondary prices and cease production when they please.
A Unique Proposition within the Navitimer Lineup
Moving onto the model we’re reviewing here: The Zurich Edition 2.0 with a forest green dial. For a bit of context: Since the Navitimer was updated in 2022, top fake Breitling watches chose to make certain colors exclusive to certain sizes. The standard green dial/black subdial variant is exclusively available in 46mm. For many (myself included) this is too large and thus not an option. Essentially, if you like the green cheap Swiss Breitling Navitimer replica watches but you wanted a smaller diameter: Too bad – until now.
Not your Typical Green Dial
For the first time, there is a green dial variant in 43mm! But on closer examination, there are some differences to the 46mm. For one, the dial uses a “forest green” shade compared to the rich green we see on the Swiss movements super clone Breitling Navitimer 46mm watches. This forest green dial will go anywhere from black, to an olive drab depending on how the light hits it. Secondly, the hands and indexes are in gold. Finally, there is a limited indication on the back written in “Züridüütsch”, Zurich’s local Swiss German dialect: “Eini vo 70” in place of “One of 70”.
Concluding Thoughts
All in all, these features give birth to what I consider a very appealing model and a more than worthy sequel to the first Zurich Edition with its monotone ice blue dial (limited to 70 pieces, commemorating 70 years since the Navitimer’s launch in 1952). The number of units for the Zurich Edition 2 is double its predecessor’s so it will take longer for them to sell out. It is available exclusively in 1:1 2025 Breitling replica watches‘ Zurich boutique and will set you back CHF 9200.- including tax. It comes standard on a 7-column bracelet and is powered by China online copy Breitling watches’ esteemed B01 caliber. A respected column wheel chronograph movement backed by 5 years of warranty and storing 72 hours of power reserve. According to the boutique staff, this model is moving quite fast, but rest assured there are still pieces left. As a bit of an anomaly within the Navitimer lineup with the proportions and color, it will probably be sold out by Spring – so if you’re interested in it, don’t wait too long!
