Watch of the Week: 2022 UK 1:1 Replica Omega Speedmaster ‘57

July is always a special month for cheap fake Omega Speedmaster UK enthusiasts, as it happens to mark the anniversary of the moon landing. That glorious event in the 20th century also happened to be the greatest advertisement for a watch’s precision and robustness in history. Ever since then, the luxury replica Omega Speedmaster, once a staple at racetracks and one of the world’s most well-known chronographs, was permanently associated with outer space. It had the sole distinction of being the only watch ever to go on the moon and continue to tick away ad infinitum, without so much as skipping a beat.

Of course, you’re familiar with the history of the Moonwatch so there’s no need to go into that. Suffice it to say that perfect fake Omega has milked the moon landing for years and will continue to use it, at least until the Speedy makes it to Mars. And because there are no immediate plans to do that, we get a fresh take on the Speedmaster every year, with the latest Speedmaster ‘57 being the freshest of the lot. Now, Swiss made replica Omega launches plenty of tribute Speedies, vintage re-issues and it can be pretty hard to pick the right one.
Asking a Speedy enthusiast which cheap fake Omega Speedmaster they wish to pick is like asking Buzz Aldrin who he feels an urge to punch harder – moon landing deniers or flat earthers? The correct answer is “all of them”. But if there’s one Omega Speedmaster super clone online uk you should buy this year, it’s got to be the 57, because it kicks off an all-new collection. Not only does it celebrate the 53rd anniversary of the moonwatch, but it also commemorates the 65th anniversary of the Speedmaster – arguably the coolest chronograph the world has seen.

The new collection is very different from the 57 Trilogy launched in 2017. For starters, it’s a METAS Certified master chronometer, which means it represents the absolute zenith of chronological precision, at least in Omega-land. Not only does 1:1 fake Omega’s Calibre 9906 boast exceptional precision, but it’s also much thinner than other commonly-found Omega movements. In fact, it’s much thinner (6.4mm) than most standard Swiss chronographs on the market. This allows it to fit inside a 40.5mm case, making it the smallest Master Chronograph-certified AAA replica Omega Speedmaster ever. That may not be the greatest technical achievement, but current sartorial trends favour more manageable and gender-neutral case sizes, adding a layer of versatility to a watch that’s already dripping with appeal.

On a personal level, the appeal lies in the super clone watch’s styling, which has been inspired by the original Speedmaster CK2915-1, which broke a world record by being auctioned at $3.4 million USD last year (Rs 27.14 crore). Except it features a slightly more prominent stainless steel bezel giving it a stronger tool-watch vibe. Then there are all the rich dial colours available, which, once again, is a personal highlight. The black dial has a grainy texture giving the AAA quality fake Omega a lived-in quality, but it’s the shades of sub-brushed blue, green and burgundy that really stay with you, long after you’ve taken eyes off them – a Herculean feat if you ask me.

If you, like most mortals, don’t have millions to splurge on a vintage 2915, the new 57 is your best bet to capture a bit of history, along with having some top-shelf Swiss tech occupy the real estate on your wrists.

UK Cheap Replica Omega Speedmaster 321 Canopus Gold

Most people know the perfect fake Omega Speedmaster as the watch that went to the moon with NASA’s astronauts, but it started life as a motorsports wristwatch back in 1957. This version harks back to that original 1957 model, albeit in a superdeluxe format: The case is in Canopus gold (Swiss made replica Omega’s particularly bright white gold alloy) rather than steel, and the dial is cut from black onyx.

But in this case, the real vintage play is the movement (the mechanical “engine” powering the watch) inside it. Three years ago, luxury replica Omega put a hand-wound movement it had last made in 1969, Calibre 321, back into (extremely limited) production, reserving a special workshop in its high-tech factory for hand-assembly the old-school way.

Calibre 321 powered the 1:1 fake Omega Speedmasters worn by Apollo astronauts in the 1960s and early 1970s (including in the moon landings), and holds a special place of affection among enthusiasts and collectors. This is only the third modern watch to contain it: retro on the outside, even more so on the inside, but with an eye-wateringly modern price tag of $81,000. One glint of hope is that if we were of the betting persuasion, we’d put money on AAA quality replica Omega at some stage releasing a more affordable steel version of this piece.

The UK Swiss Replica Omega x Swatch collab is the most accessible Speedmaster ever

It’s safe to say that collaborations are a surefire way to turn heads, but none have ever done so like this year’s perfect replica Omega x Swatch UK. When Kim Jones was at Louis Vuitton and announced a special collab with skate-brand Supreme, the hype world lost its collective mind. More recently, when the creative minds at say Gucci and North Face combined forces, the hysteria still amasses special attention. Another case in point, Mercedes x Palace dropped something together earlier this week and it hits the spot immediately – it’s the lure of the unexpected that gets us.

In the super clone watch world, collabs are nothing new either. In the past 12 months, some garnered ridiculous amounts of today’s favoured currency to trade in – hype (Patek Philippe x Tiffany’s), while others pitted two attractive target audiences together and made some rather sensical end products together (TAG Heuer x Porsche, Breitling x Triumph, Girard Perregaux x Aston Martin). They all act as one of two things: either an extension of something you already have (an Aston Martin), or an entry point to something you aspire to have (a Porsche) but can’t afford. Some collaborations get labelled as gimmicky, some just quietly go about their way and work.

This luxury replica Omega and Swatch joint mission takes the art of collaboration to the next level though. The journey started nine months ago in a meeting room in Biel with Omega CEO Raynald Aeschlimann, Swatch creative director Carlo Giordanetti and AAA fake Omega UK head of product design Gregory Kissling and Hayek all tasked with coming up with a collaboration that will hit the spot. And the 1:1 fake Omega Speedmaster MoonSwatch collection is what they decided on, as the CEO of Swatch Group Nick Hayek tells GQ.

“Collabs are very fashionable, between Gucci, Balenciaga, whoever is working together. But often it’s just a marketing gig where you put the logos from one to the product of the other one and that’s it. Here we wanted to go a step further, because we have an iconic brand like Swiss movement replica Omega, that has a product that is an icon in the Swiss watch industry, the Speedmaster. And on the other side, Swatch is an icon because it has saved the Swiss watch industry. When everybody was only focusing on luxury, Swatch was there, and Swatch is an innovator,” says Hayek. It was his late father who was responsible for saving the Swiss super clone watch industry and today, with this collaboration, Hayek Jr may well be the man responsible for evolving it and shaping the future.

The specifics
There are 11 pieces, all named after planets and each with their own unique colourway. The material for all of the pieces is bioceramic, which is patented by Swatch. This is an important differentiation for high quality replica Omega, as it’s a forward-looking new material and demonstrates something new and progressive. All models have a Velcro strap and feature supernova for the indexes and also for the hands. This lume is exactly the same type of Super-LumiNova used for cheap fake Omega Speedmasters, emitting a green emission in the dark.

None of the pieces are limited edition or numbered. True to the top replica Omega Speedmaster’s form, the diameter of the watch is 42mm, the thickness is 13mm and the MoonSwatch shares the same glass material for the case. The readability of the chronograph display is also extremely Swiss copy Omega Speedmaster like, which is all the more impressive because all watches are being manufactured from the Swatch factories. On each caseback sits an image of the respective planet each is. These are sat over the battery and have come directly from NASA.
