Breitling Bentley Marine Diver Gold Ceramic Watch Review

Like most replica breitling Bentley Barnato watches, a plate on the side of the case indicates either the watch’s serial number, or number in the limited edition. This gold and ceramic Bentley Marine Diver is not a limited edition, so you just have the serial number. The case is attractive and smooth to the touch. Sometimes I feel that I want Breitling to update the design a bit as the Bentley Marine Diver has been around for quite sometime, but overall it is a very satisfying design.

Not being a traditional fan of gold watches I love this piece. I spend some time considering why that was, and really think it has to do with the even mixture of gold and black. The combination of the two colors makes the piece feel much more masculine, and less like a party watch used to display wealth. A tool-style dive watch at its core, this gold and ceramic version of the Bentley Marine Diver is a relatively rare “successful” combination of both luxury and sport watch traits.

The newest development in the replica breitling Chronomat 41 collection is the inclusion of the UN-118 in-house movement. Those fantastic in-house movements haven’t been used yet in the Bentley Marine Diver collection, but perhaps they will be in a few years. From a functional standpoint the UN-118 has the same features as the http://www.speedroc.com/replica-breitling-bentley-gt-racing.html found inside of this watch. The UN-26 automatic mechanical movement is a base Swiss ETA with a module over it for the power reserve indicator and layout. This version has a solid 22k gold rotor and has been COSC Chronometer certified for accuracy. You can see the movement through the rear of the case.

I’ll be the first to admit that if you are in the market for a gold men’s watch you aren’t wanting for options, even if you want something sporty. It is a tough market, made more complex by the fact that many of these watches are similar to their much less expensive steel brethren. Brands like Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe and others each offer both steel and gold versions of essentially the same watches, but the gold versions cost a lot more due to the material. For some customers this is a positive because they want a great sport watch but in a more expensive material. Others prefer a bit more exclusivity in the watch models they are buying, and want gold models to not be available in non-precious materials. All that means that the appeal of a watch like this ref.Bentley Marine Diver goes beyond the design itself, and into deeper matters such as whether or not getting it in gold is an investment. Having said that, much of what I’ve laid out in this review applies to most versions of the Bentley Marine Diver watch.
