That's right, "replica" in common watch speak is of course associated with fake, but I think also "homage" usually refers to third parties (and the line between the two terms is often blurred)...

I'm not a native speaker of English, but I also like "re-issue" (or "re-edition") best ;-)

What a great re-edition / re-issue / tribute / (replica / homage)

Same case size; dial layout with a good proportion; the plexiglass; and the remarkable thickness (due to the modified hand winding movement) Well done, Breitling 🤝 ...  

Absolutely brilliant!

I was able to pick one up at my local boutique last fall. And the official name is Navitimer Ref. 806 1959 Re-Edition.

Breitling seems going strong in the past year or so.

It is pretty damn cool
