MilSubs are the mysterious world of military watches, and they are the area that is most secretive. My four closest friends and most influential Breitling Replica Watches collectors are also my personal friends. I've seen literally dozens of watches from them over the years... but I am still a bit baffled with the details. I am however very familiar with Breitling Replica Watchess. They are, in many ways, a wider subject than their Rolex counterparts because they were issued to a wide range of military forces throughout the world.

Where do we begin with Breitling Replica Watches, then? The caseback is the key to Breitling Replica Watchess. Rolex produced the military-only Submariner refs after the British MOD requested that Rolex produce watches which met detailed specifications. The double reference 5513/17, the 5517, and 5513/17 were all produced. The watches were required to have a specific hand shape for visibility, 60-minute markers on the bezel (for accuracy), fixed straps (for security), and a circled "T" on the dial to indicate the use of tritium luminescent on the hour markers and hands.

The casebacks of the watches were also completely engraved. However, from the front they were very different than a Rolex Submariner 5512. Military departments who decided to give their troops Breitling Replica Watches Submariners had a much more relaxed approach and were content to just issue standard Breitling Replica Watches Submariners. However, they would engrave their casebacks in order to track the watches or to show ownership. The fun starts...

The majority of collectors only knew about the French Breitling Replica Watchess - the watches that the French National Navy, Marine Nationale, issued to its divers, diving schools, and vessels.Breitling Avenger Replica Snowflake Submariners are probably the most well-known of all the French MilSubs. They have the engraving "MN" on the caseback. It is always MN, followed by a short version of the date of issue. For example, a watch from 1976 would read "MN 76". The format was introduced in 1974 but the story started much earlier.

The French Navy played an important role in the Submariner's development and was Breitling Replica Watches’s partner for research and development "on the ground". The French Navy provided detailed feedback about what worked and what could have been improved. This was valuable to Breitling Replica Watches, and helped shape not only what was produced for Navy, but also what Breitling Replica Watches's commercial output was globally.
