UK Top Omega Speedmaster FOiS Gen. 1 Vs. FOiS Gen. 2 Fake Watches For Sale

This week’s battle is all about the First Omega in Space. The big question is: which one do you like better? Jorg will make a case for the first-generation Speedmaster FOiS (ref. 311.32.40.30.01.001), while Mike picked the recently released second-generation Speedmaster FOiS (ref. 310.30.40.50.06.001). It will be interesting because these best Omega replica watches are different in many ways. Ultimately, your vote will help determine the victor in this battle of the First Omega in Space models.

The first-generation Speedmaster First Omega in Space (FOiS) is a special watch for many Speedmaster fans. Some enjoyed it as an affordable entry into the world of Speedmasters. For others, that straight-lugged Speedmaster hinted back at the first four generations of Speedmasters with similar cases. Whatever their reason, people loved the perfect UK Omega fake watches. However, after eight years of production, Omega discontinued the FOiS in 2020. Four years later, the FOiS has returned. Less than two weeks ago, Omega introduced a new version of the Speedmaster First Omega in Space. It’s an updated take on the watch, and as you’d expect, it comes at a higher price. It sparked a lot of discussion among enthusiasts. In today’s battle, Mike and Jorg take that discussion to (digital) paper, and you can decide which of the two should come out on top.

I will be upfront with you, Mike. Sometimes, in these battles, it’s hard to take sides. Let me start by saying that I love cheap 1:1 replica Omega Speedmaster watches with straight-lug cases. I just adore those cases’ no-fuss look. That’s not to say that I’d want to buy every version, but as you can see from this past Friday’s Top 5 list, quite a few are brilliant. So when picking one of these FOiS models over the other, it’s all about the details for me rather than completely dismissing one or the other.

I have always loved the first-generation Speedmaster First Omega in Space for multiple reasons. First and foremost, it was a great way to get a straight-lugged Speedmaster with a slightly smaller case than the 42mm Moonwatch. There is something special about that look that will cost you an arm and a leg if you are chasing the original CK2998 that inspired this Omega copy watches wholesale or one of the other early references with a straight-lug case, for that matter. The 39.7mm case, with its 13.5mm thickness and 47mm lug-to-lug, is a little more straightforward than the Moonwatch case, and I love that. The slightly smaller dimensions make it a great fit for many watch fans.

Keeping the vintage character of the CK2998

The case is combined with classic alpha hands that give the Swiss made Omega replica watches character. A nice detail is that the small seconds counter at 9 o’clock also has an alpha hand to match the central hour and minute hands, indicating the main time-telling trio. The central chronograph hand and the smaller hands for the chronograph counters are executed in white, indicating their chronograph function. It’s a split you most likely won’t see on the vintage CK2998 models.

Other differences compared to the original CK2998 are the sapphire crystal and the modern case back that features the unique production number of each watch. As Robert-Jan explained, these two features were a slight turn-off for hardcore Speedmaster collectors. Having said that, the first adds great daily practicality. It’s the everlasting discussion about being historically correct versus offering a modern timepiece that sufficiently captures the spirit of the vintage model.

The faithful caliber 1861

And that is what the first-generation Speedmaster FOiS does perfectly. Apart from the sapphire crystal and the modern case back, it is a great modern version of the CK2998. Inside the case, you will find Omega’s caliber 1861, which also powered the Moonwatch from 1996 until 2020 before the Master Chronometer caliber 3861 replaced it. The 1861 is a tried-and-true movement that found its place in Speedmaster history as a brilliant successor to the caliber 861.

I’m not just here to repeat facts you already know, Mike. But painting this picture of the previous-generation Speedmaster FOiS is important in understanding why I prefer it over the new version. As I just said, the first model is the perfect modern version of the classic CK2998. It captures the vintage spirit of the original luxury super clone Omega watches perfectly while adding some modern details for practicality. And that’s what it should be in my opinion. Robert-Jan and I have often talked about why we love the Speedy so much. What it mostly comes down to is that it’s the ultimate tool watch. History has proven that multiple times, as we all know.

Why I like the first-generation FOiS over the new model

As a fan of the first FOiS, I get the feeling of that ultimate tool watch. It’s not trying to be anything other than a modern version of that classic. With the new Speedmaster FOiS, I feel it’s trying to be something it is not. While I love the watch’s looks, it does something more extravagant than simply capturing the original’s utilitarian spirit. The dark gray-blue dial looks stunning and was modeled after existing vintage “soleil” dials, but I am not looking for a fancy sunburst dial on my FOiS. The same goes for the vintage-inspired lume. While I adore the combination of blue and cream hues on the dial, it’s mimicking something that it doesn’t need to.

But I also understand that times have changed for Omega. If the brand had made it a modern version of the first generation with a black dial and standard lume, it might be an awkward option stuck between the Speedmaster Calibre 321 “Ed White” and the current Moonwatch. On top of that, we have seen many Speedmaster introductions that take a step away from the classic Speedmaster references. The brand has introduced versions that turned the Speedmaster into a contemporary luxury Swiss made Omega replica watches. I certainly do not have problems with that, and I love quite a few of them, including the new FOiS. It probably is my favorite out of all of them. But I still prefer that classic Speedy look if given the choice.

The first-generation Speedmaster FOiS saves you money

With an €8,700 price, the new FOiS fits perfectly between the Hesalite Moonwatch and the double-sapphire Moonwatch. Therefore, I can’t criticize it. However, you can get a first-generation FOiS for roughly €4.5K–6.5K, saving you quite a bit of money. Combine that with the looks that I prefer, and it’s an easy choice for me. Get a flat-link bracelet to mix it up with the brown leather strap it came on originally, and you’re good to go. But I’ll gladly hand it over to you, Mike, to explain why the new model is the better of the two.

Thanks for the compelling arguments about the original FOiS, Jorg. The first edition is a modern option commanding a lower price than the newest model. It’s a reliable, well-made, and nicely sized watch. However, I recall when the FOiS debuted, and it was during the height of my Speedy-buying frenzy. For several reasons, it left me cold and still does. I’ve never gotten over the sapphire crystal and stark white lume on what looks to me like a vintage hodgepodge. What was that watch? Yes, we know what it was meant to celebrate, and I applaud Omega’s gallant attempt at trying something different. Nevertheless, the high quality replica Omega watches UK felt confusing to me. Was it trying to be vintage or modern?

Enter the latest FOiS

The latest Omega Speedmaster FOiS may not be 100% perfect, but it’s a massive step forward compared to its predecessor. Yes, this is a more expensive watch now, but I think Omega is making it worthwhile. The sapphire crystal remains and is the only nit I have to pick with the Swiss movements Omega fake watches. Otherwise, this Speedy has a step dial, mightily upping the finishing quotient. Some find the sunburst dial polarizing, but I think it looks nice, and as someone who has held an “Ed White” with a similar dial, it should be drop-dead gorgeous in real life.

Aged lume

Omega opted for aged Super-LumiNova on the new FOiS, and I think it was a good choice. If this isn’t up your alley, I get it. Some folks don’t like the artificially aged look, but I think it adds beneficial warmth to what would otherwise be a cold dial. While manufacturers have figured out how to make sapphire crystals more like acrylic, the darkened lume helps distract from any remaining differences. I also believe that the aged look helps separate this replica Omega watches for men from the standard Speedmaster Professional. It’s also either darker or more concentrated than a watch with a similar (albeit not the same) case, the Speedmaster Calibre 321.

Worthy upgrades to the movement and bracelet

I’m a big fan of the 3861 movement, and it’s a great move from Omega to add it to the new FOiS. I don’t know if there was a temptation to use an automatic caliber, but I’m glad the METAS-certified hand-winding option was chosen. This is a great movement with at least 50 hours of power reserve (I’ve nudged 60 hours in mine) and fantastic accuracy. It’s a nice upgrade over the old 1861. Then, there’s the bracelet. For Speedmaster models, Omega has upped its game in a big way. If I think about how chunky the flat-link bracelet is on my straight-lug Speedmaster 60th Anniversary, this looks like it’s from another galaxy. The bracelet is thin, articulates well, and even has a push-button micro-adjustment mechanism. This makes wearing the 39.7mm FOiS a dream. It’s a truly competitive bracelet that’s a game changer versus the prior model, which only came on a leather strap.

Prices are higher, but it’s also 2024

The original FOiS was and remains much less expensive than the newest rendition. The latest model has a retail price of €8,700 on the bracelet. That’s not inexpensive, but Omega has added enough high-quality details to quantify a higher price versus the old model. Plus, like it or not, it’s 2024, and watches are significantly more expensive than in the past. The good thing is that this watch isn’t a limited or special edition. It’s part of the main catalog, so prospective buyers can ponder the choice, and if they do ultimately partake in one of these top China Omega copy watches, they’ll get a generous upgrade compared to the previous version.

Time to vote

Now it’s time for you to tell us which FOiS is right for you. Do you like the original model with its white lume and more rudimentary dial? Or do you like the more luxurious and more expensive new version?

Daniel Craig’s Red Gold UK 2024 Online Omega Speedmaster Replica Watches Makes A Surprise Comeback Amid His Rebrand Era

It’s not that long since Daniel Craig starred in Loewe’s Fall/Winter 2024 men’s campaign, and the (very favourable) Berlin memes started circulating. This was the final stage of his post-007 rebrand, ditching Bond’s ultra-cropped buzz cut for something more chill, less secret agent, and way more “wild art dealer,” as we coined it.

Fast-forward to today, our new favourite Loewe muse attended the brand’s SS25 womenswear show with his wife Rachel Weisz. Here, he flexed the house’s Balloon Cargo pants, another belter of a knitted sweater, boots and jacket. While he continues to go viral with his new style chapter, when it comes to perfect 1:1 Omega replica watches, today showed his tastes show no sign of changing.

We’re accustomed to seeing Craig play the role of Omega Guinea Pig, often showing off the latest models in the Swiss watchmaker’s line-up when least expected. Like when he debuted white dial high quality fake Omega Speedmaster Professional watches in New York, or when he casually wore an as of yet unreleased watch while watching volleyball at the Paris Olympics.

For fashion week in the French capital though, Craig dove deep into his watch locker and dug out an oldie but a goodie – his 40mm Red Gold AAA Omega Speedmaster replica watches UK. The last time we recall seeing Craig wear it was at the 2020 Golden Globes in Los Angeles, aka peak red carpet Hollywood. Back then, Craig was freshly finished with his final Bond appearance in No Time To Die, so full tux mode was non negotiable and the Omega copy watches for men was the cherry on top. While still being incredibly functional, this is a Speedmaster at its bougiest, with the classic dive watch getting the 18kt gold precious metal treatment. “It might be his only gold watch with a gold bracelet,” says Fratello’s Robert-Jan Broer, who lowkey came up with the Speedy Tuesday fad. “That look is very ’80s, and in that decade, there was nothing nicer than a full gold watch on the wrist!”

In previous suited, booted, and buzz-cutted appearances, Craig has made this top replica Omega watches a more showy-offy piece, with its red gold accenting. But in Paris, we see the same best Omega super clone watches hold its own on the front row. Here it is a subtly swanky accessory peeking beneath an eternally cool black leather jacket, where red gold (which matched his rosy sunnies), rather than yellow gold, contrasts with colourful knitwear. It is the kind of tension and stylish nonchalance that separates the menswear pros from the rest of the pack, and something Craig has down to a tee.

For prove of a watch’s true versatility, look at Daniel Craig’s luxury UK Omega Speedmaster fake watches, which as well as surviving a Bond to bangs rebrand, works just as well on the red carpet as it does at the most anticipated fashion show of Paris Fashion Week – just like the man himself.

My Dream Best Online Replica Omega Speedmaster UK Is An Impossible-To-Find NASA Watches

We look at experimental perfect Omega Speedmaster replica watches that is a thing of real beauty. NASA introduced my dream version in the early 1970s, but sadly, it was never a production model.

The Omega Speedmaster needs no introduction. Suffice it to say, the Speedmaster is one of the most iconic watch designs not just of the mid-20th century but also of all time. The high quality UK Omega Speedmaster fake watches is also a watch that I’ve never owned nor seriously lusted after. In fact, I must admit that I don’t currently even own a watch from Omega, whether vintage or modern (that needs to change). It seemed my time to write about this sad state of affairs was overdue, and what better opportunity to do so than on Speedy Tuesday?

Why don’t I own an Omega Speedmaster?

    Perhaps it is partly because the Swiss made replica Omega Speedmaster watches is so truly iconic (almost a default choice for a serious watch enthusiast) that I’ve shied away from it. Objectively, the Speedmaster Professional is a beautiful watch design. The lyre lugs and short lug-to-lug length trick you into thinking you’re wearing something a bit smaller than a 42mm case. As any Speedmaster owner would attest, the Speedmaster Professional feels much closer to a 40mm watch on the wrist.

    Many a time, I have wandered into an Omega boutique and tried on the Speedy Pro. I’ve performed this little ritual whenever I spot a boutique since at least 2019. This means I’ve tried on the current and the previous generation of the Speedmaster in the Omega boutique. Every time, I have walked out with a solid appreciation of the top Omega copy watches and a little thrill from trying it on but never enough of an urge to buy it.

    It’s not because they are hard to come by

    The same can be said for the myriad opportunities I have had to pick one up secondhand. The Omega Speedmaster is, thankfully, quite a popular timepiece in Australia. This means that secondhand options of all types come up for sale pretty regularly. This can include the smaller versions, the various special and limited editions, and the standard 42mm models. Prices vary due to condition and the specific model for sale, but they generally seem eminently reasonable on the used market.

    There is the Speedmaster ’57 “Replica” that my colleagues Gerard, Lex, and RJ own, which has a different design aesthetic much more reminiscent of the 1950s than the 1960s, which I appreciate. The Broad Arrow hour handset on that watch has a certain boldness to it, and it appeals to me. The steel bezel dresses down the luxury China Omega replica watches too and makes it look even more “toolish.” If I were to go for a modern re-edition, it would probably be that reference 3594.50. The Speedmaster design before it became the space-adventuring cultural icon.

    But my perfect Speedmaster does exist…

    The cheap Omega Speedmaster super clone watches that sets my heart aflutter (or appeals to the lizard part of my brain) does exist. And I discovered it only recently. But I have done myself a big disservice by discovering what would be one of my “perfect” Omega Speedmasters. While trawling the internet and sleuthing some photo archives, as I am wont to do, I came across several forum posts and articles on the Omega Speedmasters with radial dials.

      These were experimental dial designs that Omega introduced when tweaking the Speedmaster for use by NASA astronauts. The radial design is also the dial layout that Fratello and Omega used for the Speedmaster Speedy Tuesday “Tribute to Alaska III.”

      Now, there are some serious experts out there, so I won’t stray too far into this historical territory except to note my appreciation for this rare design and the bezel that accompanied some of these AAA replica Omega watches. You see, in some NASA historical images, we can see astronauts wearing either a radial-dial Speedmaster or a regular-dial Speedmaster with a 60-minute bezel. A Speedmaster with a 60-minute bezel is a jaw-dropping design. When I stumbled across some of these images, I knew I had found my dream Speedmaster.

      NASA and the 60-minute-bezel Omega Speedmaster

      Al Worden was one such astronaut pictured wearing the experimental design. In training leading up to the Apollo 15 mission, Worden was pictured wearing a Speedmaster with a 60-minute bezel. Not many photos have been found of this particular Swiss movements Omega copy watches, and from the reading I’ve done thus far, it seems a standard Speedmaster ended up going into space with Worden. This is because images of him from after his landing show a regular-production watch.

      So, now we have two quite distinct design elements — A) a radial dial design and B) a 60-minute bezel. Let’s throw in a third to make it a perfect triumvirate of design choices — C) a white dial. Combining these elements, in my mind, creates the “perfect” Omega Speedmaster I would like to own in my mind’s eye. Sadly, it’s an impossible ask. In the image below, you can see what my “perfect” 1:1 Omega Speedmaster replica watches looks like.

      So, what exists that scratches my Speedmaster itch?

      OK, so I have chosen an impossible watch. What comes a close second, then? Well, a special-edition Omega Speedmaster I’d love to own does exist, but it’s also a little difficult to come by here in Australia. That fake Omega watches wholesale is the 2008 re-edition of the Omega Speedmaster Alaska II. We have looked into the history of the Speedmaster Alaska II, and RJ has noted the differences and similarities between the vintage original and the 2008 re-edition here.

      The 2008 watch houses Omega’s trusty 1861 caliber, an update from the original cam-operated 861. That re-edition also has a stunning white dial with “capsule-shaped” hands for the chronograph counters and a striking red chronograph seconds hand. Truly, this replica Omega watches for men is a thing of industrial beauty. In the image above, you can see the modern 2008 watch and compare it to the original in the photo above that. It’s remarkable how well Omega captured the charm of the original in this re-edition. If only it had a radial dial and a 60-minute bezel!

      Concluding thoughts

      That serves as my first foray into Speedy Tuesday. The more I gradually learn about the world of Omega Speedmasters, the more there is to appreciate and adore. My thanks to Flightqualified (also known as Omega Mike) on Instagram who shared images of his own project, which offers a 60-minute bezel modification for the Speedmaster. If I were ever able to come across a reasonably priced 2008 Alaska II re-edition, I would jump on it in a heartbeat. The quirky dial design and the story behind the Omega fake watches shop UK make for an incredibly compelling proposition.
