Let Us Review The Carl F. Bucherer Patravi TravelTec II Replica

Here’s a fun fact: Carl F. Bucherer Men’s Replica is one of the the oldest luxury replica watchmakers in Switzerland still wholly owned by its founding family – a feat that grows more and more impressive every year as the industry’s original independents are measured in continually dwindling numbers. The Carl F. Bucherer Patravi TravelTec II replica watch is a product of the family’s third generation of management – an ultra-modern traveler’s replica watch that packs a staggering amount of detail and multi-timezone capability in a hefty 47mm case that should appeal to any frequent fliers looking to throw discretion to the wind in the name of owning a jumping-hour GMT chronometer. It’s not cheap, but you won’t find one on every other wrist and the quality, character, and style are on point.

Latin for ‘accomplish’ (or the act of bringing something to completion), ‘Patravi’ is the naming convention for Carl F. Bucherer’s most dynamic collection. Bold and innovative twists on classic sport replica watch styles rule the roost here – epitomized in the TravelTec II, which makes no apologies for its size and overwhelming busyness – like a Daytona-Explorer II lovechild bred for power-lifters. Even still, there are some nice details and functionality here, like the dial’s impressive depth, and the ability to read three time zones at once, which should be equally appreciated by someone with a discerning eye and a confident wrist.

Being a family-owned and run replica watchmaker with a strong commitment to innovation, it should come as little surprise that Carl F. Bucherer has developed a stable of its own in-house calibers – unfortunately though, the TravelTec II doesn’t use one of them. Instead, we have the CFB Caliber 1901.1 chronometer – a heavily modified ETA 2894 GMT, equipped with a chronograph, and a pusher which rotates the inner 24-hour bezel – and in doing so, also jumps the date forward and back, accordingly as needed, which is particularly neat.
