Luxury Watches Manufacturer Breitling watches are one of the most coveted pieces by watch lovers. Its demand in the market proves it and, as usually happens in these cases, there are always people willing to do business selling fakes. But how do you know if a Breitling watch is original? In our post today we give you the keys to achieve it.

How to know if a Breitling is original

The creators of Breitling take pride in the intricate design of their watches. Something that increases its value and also allows us to differentiate an original Breitling from a copy. Here are some of the things to look out for:

Model and serial number

A real Breitling watch has its model and serial number on the strap (if metal) or on the case back. These numbers can easily be checked with an official dealer.

This sign alone can be definitive. However, if due to deterioration or some other reason the number is not legible, there are other ways to find out if the watch is original.

Weight

The most remarkable thing about an authentic Breitling watch is its weight. It is a heavy watch and in fact it weighs substantially more than its Rolex and Omega rivals. Having it in hand before buying it is one of the precautions that will allow you to verify that you are buying an original Breitling. If you put the watch on your wrist and you don't immediately feel its weight, this is a strong signal that the watch in question is a fake Breitling.

Logo

The Breitling logo is very characteristic, but you have to be careful because it has more than one. The original logo found on the older (and therefore more valuable) models has a winged anchor with the brand name below it. There is a small gap between the tips of the anchor and the wings. There are also five internal striae that define the wings, but do not reach the wingtip. This logo appears small, but clearly visible on the watch face.

In many fakes the anchor and the wings touch, which is a clear sign that the watch is not original. Also note the number of grooves on the wing and whether or not they touch the tip.

Second hand movement

The seconds hand of an original Breitling does not move once per second, but instead completes each second in a sequence of 8 steps, making the movement of the second hand appear to be continuous to the eye. On fakes the tick of the second hand is much more visible.

Date on the calendar

The numbers must be quite large and occupy the entire cavity of the calendar window, which, again, does not happen in many fakes. If the numbers seem small or unreadable to you, be suspicious.

Engraved buckle

He unhooks the watch and runs his fingers over the Breitling engraved on the strap buckle. You should be able to feel the grooves of each letter. If this is not the case, or the relief is not very pronounced, be suspicious.

Certificate of authenticity

You should always ask for a certificate of authenticity when you buy a Breitling. Even a custom Swiss Luxury Watches Manufacturer should be able to provide it to you, since he demonstrates the technical specifications of the watch and its manufacturing origin, keys to knowing if it is legitimate.
