The Rolex Submariner has been a part of the Rolex catalog for well over 60 years. As expected, the famed dive watch has undergone plenty of design and mechanical enhancements over the past six decades, including the all-important timing bezel. Read on to discover all the different types of bezels of the Rolex Submariner.When Rolex debuted the Submariner in 1953, the stainless steel dive watch included a rotating bezel marked to 60 minutes to allow divers to track immersion times. The steel bezel turned both ways for simple timing adjusting, the edge of the bezel was knurled for easy gripping underwater, and the insert was fashioned from black aluminum.The printed 60-minute scale on the earlier versions included markings for every 5 minutes, alternating between batons and numerals. By the late 1950s, Rolex started to include hash marks for the first 15 minutes on the bezel followed by 5-minute markings.Around 1969, Rolex introduced the first yellow gold Submariner, the Submariner Date ref. 1680/8. Accordingly, the knurled rotating bezel was fashioned from 18k yellow gold. What’s more, the Rolex Submariner ref. 1680/8 now offered the choice of either a black or blue aluminum bezel insert and matching dial.
Breitling not only has diver’s watch series, but also has pilot watch line. The Chronomat B01 is a popular pilot series of Breitling and has always been a hot model that is cloned in our watch market. If you like a textured watch in full stainless steel, Breitling Chronomat B01 will be a good choice. Today, I want to show you a Breitling Chronomat B01 AB0110 watch that did not have good replicas before, now this watch was replicated by G factory, which was also called GF, finally has its top replica, with every detail completely improved upon previous editions that were manufactured by other small factories. The replica Breitling Chronomat B01 AB0110 is made with a genuine 1:1 as reference, most watch parts in this replica could even be exchanged with genuine watch.The case is 45mm in diameter, which is bigger than most big watches in current watch trend. It has a thickness of 16.5mm. With such a solid stainless steel case and bracelet, the first feeling this replica watch gives you is heavy, but I love this feeling. Do you want to buy a watch that has a light weight? I do not. The heavy texture makes rest assured. Whole case is polished, bezel is uni-directional rotating and has studs, the engravings on the bezel are deep and wide, which are in matt finished. The lume pearl at 12 o’clock on the bezel is full and round, it has the same lume color as the markers and hands on the dial.Black dial seems to be a bit crowded, hour markers and hands have luminous material coated, Breitling Chronomat B01 AB0110 is a chrono watch, so there are three subdials, the subdial at 9:00 is for small seconds display, 30-minute chronograph counter is at 3 o’clock, the 12-hour chronograph counter is positioned at 6 o’clock. On the center of the dial, there is a big square with obvious vertical patterns, I do not like this patterned square on the dial. A black date window is set at 4:30, which features white font. On the crystal, there is a sticker, you can read “GF” and “SAPPHIRE” from it. Like genuine watch, the sapphire crystal on the replica also has AR coating.
About the movement, ZF claimed that it is a clone IWC 89361, actually it is modified from a Chinese chronograph movement, we call it Asia Valjoux 7750, whatever behind the solid case back, the movement can completely achieve all functions of genuine watch. Besides, the stability of this type of Asia Valjoux 7750 has been tested for more than 10 years, it is trustworthy.Watch band looks nylon on the outside, but it is actually made of calf leather, you can see it on the back side. The nylon face outside can prevent rain and water drops when washing your hands, while the genuine leather that touches your skin will bring you a great wearing comfort. So such type of band has multiple purposes. The buckle on the band is crafted very well and has a good brushing finish.The review is done, let’s appreciate their acutal photos below.
One of the hottest and most sought-after releases in recent years was the reference 116500 Daytona in stainless steel with black Cerachrom bezel. With the exception of its bezel, the new Daytona 116500 was virtually identical to almost any other modern, stainless steel Daytona. However, the aesthetic impact of the black Cerachrom bezel is significant, and the presence of a solid black ring around the face of the watch completely changes the overall appearance of the new ref. 116500 Daytona.Additionally, the new black Cerachrom bezel is more than a little reminiscent of the black acrylic bezels that were fitted to several vintage Daytona chronograph references manufactured during the 1960s and 1970s, such as the reference 6241 and the reference 6263. Although the two materials are significantly different in a multitude of different ways, the black Cerachrom bezel on the new 116500 Daytona is very much the contemporary equivalent of the black acrylic bezel that can be found on a number of highly-desirable, vintage Rolex Daytona references.For the most part, Rolex only moves forward with their designs as they continuously work to refine and improve their watches. However, they have been known to occasionally borrow small design elements from some of their early watches, and implement them into the latest incarnations of their ever-evolving timepieces. Sometimes these design elements get re-imagined or modernized to reflect advancements and improvements in available materials and technologies (like the Cerachrom bezel on the Daytona). Other times, like in the instance of the 24-hour hand on the new Explorer II, these vintage-inspired, design traits get pulled right off a page from a 1970s Rolex catalog and get placed on a watch currently in production.
