As we approach Memorial Day, in which Americans honor the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and other military operators lost in the line of duty, we showcase cheap Rolex replica watches made by various brands especially to honor certain branches of the armed forces and those that support them. Herewith, our six “Tribute to the Military” watches.

IWC Schaffhausen, a watch brand with deep roots in making military-grade pilots’ watches, introduced its Big Pilot’s Watch Top Gun collection in 2007. Created in cooperation with the United States Navy Fighter Weapons School, known widely as “Top Gun,” the collection was expanded in 2012 with the addition of the IWC Big Pilot’s Watch Top Gun Miramar, a distinctly military-styled watch named for, and paying tribute to, the area in California where the Navy’s elite Top Gun pilots receive their training. The Top Gun Miramar (also available in a chronograph version) has a big, 48-mm ceramic case and anthracite dial. The hands and chapter rings are in a camouflage beige color and the military-green textile strap is reminiscent of the fabric webbing belts in an aircraft cockpit.

combat unit for which it is named. The watch is engineered to withstand extremely harsh conditions and features on its dial a new form of Super-LumiNova that is particularly visible underwater or in the dark. It also contains an in-house Jaeger-LeCoultre automatic movement intended to provide a high degree of accuracy. Jaeger-LeCoultre solicited the input of actual Navy SEALs in its development of the Swiss Breitling replica watches; some of its features, including the matte black bezel that reduces glare, are a direct result of these consultations. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Diving Automatic Navy SEALs is limited to 1,500 pieces.

Released in 2013, the Breitling Navitimer 01 Honor Flight Limited Edition is a watch made in tribute to the Honor Flight Network, which flies World War II veterans to the memorial dedicated to their service in Washington, DC. This special version of the Navitimer — an iconic pilots’ watch from a brand with a rich history of producing watches for aviation — has a deep blue dial with the Honor Flight logo just beneath the 12 o’clock position, and a solid steel caseback with an engraved “wreath and bracket” from the World War II memorial in the nation’s capital and the inscription, “Honor Flight — One Last Mission.” The watch, which contains a Breitling chronograph movement, is limited to just 56 pieces, representing the 56 U.S. states and territories that participated in the Second World War.

The striking skull-and-crossbones dial on the Bell & Ross BR01 Airborne is based on the patches worn by American paratroopers of World War II, who wore it on their uniforms as a defiant symbol of courage in the face of death. The skull on the dial is coated with Super-LumiNova so that it glows in the dark. On June 8, 2009, the 65th anniversary of the D-Day invasion, Bell & Ross introduced the 500-piece limited edition of the BR01 Airborne at a boutique in Paris. The brand has since followed up the original model with a 999-piece limited edition, the Airborne II, with a “phantom black” dial and “rifle barrel” patina finish.

While not a military unit per se, the cryptologists at Britain’s Bletchley Park played a crucial role in the Allied war effort with their deciphering of the Enigma and Lorenz codes used by Nazi Germany (as those who’ve seen the Oscar-nominated film, The Imitation Game, may already be aware). The Bremont Codebreaker pays tribute to these often unsung heroes of WWII by incorporating actual historical materials from Bletchley Park and its codebreaking machines into the watch. Limited to only 240 pieces in stainless steel and 50 in rose gold, the Bremont Codebreaker features pieces of the actual German Enigma machine in the winding rotor of its automatic movement and fragments of the punch cards used in the decryption machines embedded in the case middle (to spell out the watch’s serial number). Additionally, a piece of the floorboard from the actual Bletchley Park building where the codes were broken (thus shortening the war by probably two years and saving countless lives) has been incorporated into the watch’s crown.

U.S.-based Kobold takes pride in the fact that many of its cheap Breitling replica watches uk are made in America, several with military usage in mind. The company worked with Navy SEALs to create the Kobold Phantom Black Ops Chronograph, whose black-DLC-coated, 41-mm steel case is made in the U.S.A. and contains a solid ETA 7750 chronograph movement. The rugged “stealth” timepiece also features a bidirectional rotating bezel, a domed, nonreflective sapphire crystal, a screw-locked crown, and green-tinted luminous hands and hour markers that would pair well with a set of night-vision goggles. The price is $4,150, but if you’re a SEAL or other armed service member, says Kobold, you will be offered a “healthy discount.”

A true classic has a design that transcends time, while still maintaining an original aesthetic and appeal, as is the case with Harry Winston’s Midnight Collection. The new Breitling replica watches uk model features three arches, a tribute to the House’s heritage and New York flagship salon. It also has a date indicator and a moon display, offering precise information in the most sophisticated fashion.

The art of composition

Off-setting its date and complications, is an aesthetic decision embedded in Harry Winston’s design DNA. The Midnight Date Moonphase reinterprets the House’s signature elements and functions with excentered Hours and Minutes, date, and moonphase counters, so subtle that they appear to melt into the dial.

A supremely refined dial

The dial, silver in tone, features a Rolex replica watches sunburst finish that surrounds the Hours and Minutes function. The date is delicately housed in a light and recessed zone to ensure that the numerals stand out.

Harry Winston revisits the moonphase with renewed intensity. Drawing inspiration from its real life counterpart, the moon disk features a deliberately rough and textured appearance. Furthermore, with its rich, deep, metallic blue coloring, Harry Winston designers expertly capture the magic of the moon.

This new creation is driven by a mechanical automatic movement, visible through the Breitling replica watches open case back. The exposed white gold oscillating weight features haute horlogerie finishes, including Côtes de Genève and circular graining. The silicon balance spring guarantees absolute precision, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour. The Midnight Date Moonphase has a 42 mm-diameter case and is available in 18-carat white or rose gold.

A line extension doesn’t just add one more version of the same Breitling replica watches uk. By offering different color and material combinations with a familiar movement, a brand can reconsider a watch model, or it can highlight links between different models by dressing them in similar clothes. This latter option is what happens with Glashütte Original’s new Pano offerings, which it presents for the first time at Baselworld 2015. The Saxony manufacture is bringing out new editions of its PanoMaticLunar and PanoReserve watches, each in a black or a blue theme.

Until now, the Glashütte Original PanoMaticLunar was available with a white or anthracite dial. The two versions that will come to market after the Basel fair are in matte black (with a rose-gold case) and dark blue (with a stainless-steel case). The dials are made at Glashütte Original’s dial factory in Pforzheim, Germany. Over 40 operations are needed to make and finish the dial, including the meticulous process of galvanizing it to achieve the proper color.

On each cheap Breitling replica watches, the time displays are off center on the left of the dial. Hours and minutes hands with luminous coating tell the time on the main subdial, which has a fine snailing pattern. The small seconds overlap this dial. On the right side you can see the large “Panorama Date” from which the collection gets its name, and a moon-phase display at 2 o’clock. The PanoMaticLunar has a power reserve of 42 hours and a hack mechanism.

The detail work on these new editions are key. The stainless-steel version has silver-colored applied indexes and white-gold hands. The moon-phase shows the stars and moon as they move over a silver sky. On the rose-gold version, the hands and indexes are in gold, as is the moon. Seeing these elements over the dark color of the dials adds a sense of clarity and simplicity.

Inside the PanoMaticLunar is Glashütte Original’s Caliber 90-02. It is an automatic movement, beating at 28,800 vph. It runs in 47 jewels. Through the nonreflective sapphire caseback, you can see all its charms: polished and brushed steel parts, blued screws, a 3/4 plate in the Glashütte style and a hand-engraved balance bridge. The balance has a swan’s-neck fine adjustment and 18 weighted screws. The rotor is skeletonized with the G.O. logo and is made of 21-karat gold.

In its case, the PanoMaticLunar has a 40-mm diameter. It is 12.7 mm thick. The  Rolex replica watches uk is water-resistant to 50 meters. In the stainless-steel/blue version, it can come on a blue alligator strap, a blue calfskin strap, or a steel bracelet. The rose-gold/black version is offered with two black alligator strap options.

Like its cousin, the Glashütte Original PanoReserve has so far only been available with white and anthracite dials. The new matte black and dark blue versions emphasize the balance between different elements on the dial, especially the minimalist power-reserve indicator at 2 o’clock.

One side of the indicator runs tangent to the best replica Breitling main time display. With its baton hand anchored at its highest point on the dial, it resembles a classic metronome. The PanoReserve also has a 42-hour power reserve.

Inside is Caliber 65-01, a manually wound 4-Hz movement with 48 jewels. It is decorated in similar fashion to the PanoMaticLunar.

The PanoReserve is 40 mm in diameter and 11.7 mm thick. It has sapphire crystals on both the Breitling fake watches front and back and is water resistant 50 meters. In the blue version it is offered with a steel bracelet, an alligator strap or a calfskin strap; in the gold-and-black edition it has two different alligator straps.
