The well-known Breitling, as one of the Grenchen watchmaker, has determined to totally refurbish its Colt series once again. Each of the four new Colt models is made in a little different styling while compared to the last edition of the series from 2011. These changes in styling bring the series back to the original appearance from the 1980s when the collection first saw the light of day. One of the most famous features of this kind is re-introduction of bezels with rider tabs. As for the other traits of new models, we should mention steel cases with alternating polished and satin finishes, enhanced water proof to 200 meters and double glare-proofing of their sapphire crystals. When dials are concerned, they are now available in blue, black and silver color. The faces are also decorated with circular raised motifs and they are coupled with enlarged hour markers and hands.
Breitling Colt series has received some new makeovers during the course of time. Most notably, the original styling was changed in 1999 and, more recently, in 2006 and 2011. During the passage of time, the width of cases gradually expanded all the way to 44 mm in diameter. Besides, there have been different types of models, both mechanical and quartz-driven with different sets of complications. When the Breitling replica decided for the second to last among the changes in design which occurred back in 2011, the Colt series was split from the now abandoned Aeromarine series. Additionally, the Colt collection from three years ago ditched all mechanical watches and it totally consisted of models with quartz movements. These Breitling Colts abandoned bezels with rider tabs which were the original trait of the series as well.
To the very beginning, the replica Colt series was envisioned as a collection that will offer cheap replica watches for members of the army and had sturdiness, resilience and legibility as its prime traits. As it was the case with some more iconic lineages by the watchmaker from Grenchen, the initially military timekeeper gradually became more and more attractive to the broader public. Owing to the number of models and the price, Breitling Colt models have also acquired a reputation for being among the most accessible fake Breitlings.
The latest redesign of the series brings back mechanical models in the lineup. To be fair, now there is just a single mechanical piece in the collection. The latest upates in design returns the series to its roots. Therefore, till now, all of its models are equipped with wider bezels with engraved numerals and four rider tabs.
