Testing the replica Omega Seamaster 300 Co-Axial Chronometer

omega

With the latest version from 2021,perfect Omega replica continues to offer an attractive reinterpretation of its first true dive watch from 1957, but has also incorporated some unexpected changes, especially when compared to its direct predecessor from 2014. We take a closer look at the new Seamaster 300 Co-Axial Master Chronometer.

Design

For our test,  perfect fake Omega Speedmaster moon watch provided a stainless-steel model with blue dial and matching dive bezel insert (Ref. 234.30.41.21.03.001) — a rather attractive combination that was previously only available in platinum, bicolor or titanium, with the latter costing about a third more than the stainless-steel version with black dial. Given the model’s vintage appeal (and blue dials continuing to be extremely popular), we’re glad this option is now available in stainless steel and feel it made sense to not use the high-tech metal here, even though this means buyers currently don’t have a lightweight option and would have to opt for the slightly larger Diver 300m Co-Axial Master Chronometer “007 Edition” (Ref. 210.90.42.20.01.001) instead.

The basic design of the replica watches online uk from 2021 and 2014, as well as the original model from 1957, are very similar (see the overview photo following). At second glance, however, some differences become clear. The new watch comes with only the logo and the historical “Seamaster 300” lettering on the dial; the second hand ends in a luminous “lolipop” dot instead of an arrow, a feature that was already used for the highly popular “Spectre” limited edition from 2015 (Ref. 233.32.41.21.01.001); and the numerical hour markers 3, 6, 9 and 12 are now also beige-brown, like the triangular hour markers, rather than silver-colored (and often mistaken for white). This is primarily due to the new dial design. In 2014, the triangles were recessed and filled with vintage-style luminous material, often described as “faux patina” (or “fauxtina”). Now, Omega is using a sandwich dial with a luminous-coated base plate and a perforated top layer with cutouts for the numerical hours. As usual, most displays glow blue in the dark, but the minute hand and corresponding zero point on the rotating dive bezel stand out in green.

The bezel track is also coated with luminous material throughout. In addition to the luminous dot, the earlier model had silver numerals made of Liquidmetal alloy. Back then, the base material for the bezel was ceramic; today it is aluminum. We see the advantage of the new model in the more uniform color scheme and greater luminosity of the displays. The disadvantage here is less scratch resistance of the dive bezel than before.

The screw-down crown, which ensures the water resistance to 300 meters noted in the watch’s name, is slightly smaller on the new model, but its conical shape makes it just as ergonomic as the cylindrical crown of its predecessor. As before, it can still be used in the halfway pulled-out position for moving the hour hand forward or back, which is useful when crossing time zones or switching from daylight saving time to standard time. A stop-seconds mechanism ensures accuracy whenever setting the time anew. This now-commonplace technology stops the seconds hand whenever the crown is pulled out completely.

Bracelet

best copy Omega Seamaster Diver 300M  has also modified the details of the bracelet. Like so many other retro-look models coming out of Biel, the bracelet tapers toward the clasp. In addition, the product designers switched the polished and matte surfaces so that now, as in 1957, the polished surfaces are on the outer links. The visual effect is stunning. The entire watch looks more elegant thanks to the tapered bracelet with outer polished links. That’s the advantage. The disadvantage? The outer links are more exposed than the inner links which, like the bezel, increases the susceptibility to scratches. But it should be noted that in our wearing test, over a period of several weeks, hardly any scratches were left on the bracelet or on the bezel.

The well-made clasp is virtually unchanged. The sturdy folding clasp is secure and easy to use thanks to its one-sided opening structure and two deployant buttons. A huge advantage: inside, there’s a patented quick extension piece with three locking levels that can be operated with a push-button slider to adjust the length. For example, you can lengthen the bracelet by one or two 1.9-mm increments for greater comfort on a hot day. This is less than the six increments that were offered by the previous model, so be very careful during the initial sizing of the bracelet. There are whole and half links to ensure comfort, so after some trial and error, you’re certain to find the right length.

A sturdy pin inside the links is held in place by screws on both sides of the bracelet. Omega also holds a patent for this high-end detail. After proper adjustment of the length of the bracelet, the Seamaster 300 is very comfortable to wear from morning to night.

Movement

The sapphire crystal caseback no longer has a smooth round edge but a wavelike grooved edge, which can be found on most Seamaster models today. The large transparent window offers a view of the precise, individually decorated, antimagnetic components that make up the automatic, in-house 8912 caliber. This movement is structurally identical to the Caliber 8400 used in the 2014 generation and also evaluated by Switzerland’s Federal Institute of Metrology

(METAS). The technical advantages have all remained; the rotor winds in both directions and provides an above-average power reserve of 60 hours. The silicon hairspring can ensure an extremely accurate rate even when exposed to temperature fluctuations or impacts. The balance wheel is mounted beneath a bridge for better stability and security than a single-sided balance cock; four poising weights for fine adjustment allow it to “breathe” freely. And last but not least, Omega’s own co-axial escapement with multilevel pallets and escape wheel provides consistent impulse transmission for even greater rate accuracy.

All of the structural advantages of the in-house movements prompted Omega to go beyond the rate test conducted by the official Swiss chronometer agency COSC, and the company began submitting its watches to the testing agency METAS for additional certification. The fully assembled timepieces are tested for functional reliability, rate stability, water resistance, power reserve and resistance to extreme magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss.

A watch that passes all these tests is certified by METAS as a Master Chronometer. Due to the considerable number of timepieces Omega produces, the testing agency has a subsidiary in the Omega building in Biel. The independence of the tests, as verified contractually by both partners, is guaranteed at all times.

And our test watch? It conforms to the promise of the high quality standards, both on the timing machine and on the wrist. The electronic test showed a gain of 4.2 seconds per day, but only 2 seconds when worn on the wrist. The individual positions were only 4 seconds apart, which is even more difficult to attain than a small average deviation.

This Seamaster 300 movement offers the same advantages as the previous generation, even though the above-average performance of the movement and the entire cased watch is officially certified by METAS, which inspired Omega to offer a five-year warranty for its Master Chronometer.

Dive Properties

In our test, the quality replica watch proved itself to be high quality, durable, precise, easy to use and comfortable to wear. One drawback, however, needs to be mentioned. The bezel — which is easy to grasp — extends beyond the edges of the case for ease of use, but this may cause it to shift out of place when you reach into your pocket or put your arm through your backpack strap. In our wearing test, not a day went by without the rotating bezel moving unintentionally. For those who actually plan to use a $6,500 watch as a backup instrument while diving, Omega unquestionably offers more suitable options in the Seamaster range. The Seamaster 300 Co-Axial Master Chronometer tested here is ideal for water sports, but not necessarily suited for diving. Same with the stainless-steel bracelet: the extension isn’t long enough to go over a dive suit (an extra-long textile strap can be purchased separately).

The bezel track without minute markers also indicates that Omega’s intention here was rather to create a harmonious retro design and not necessarily a rugged tool watch. Therefore, all in all, the Seamaster 300 is more advisable for everyday wear or recreational sports, as well as for festive occasions — anywhere it can show off its advantages to the fullest.

New Beats Old?

Is the new generation of the Seamaster 300 better than the old? Consider the fully luminous bezel track, the more harmonious color array with uniform beige-brown displays, a more elegant bracelet, the METAS certificate, plus a five-year guarantee and a new stainless-steel version in blue. There are counterarguments, but they’re fewer in number: the bezel is more susceptible to scratches, the clasp has a shorter quick-adjustment length, and the “lollipop” seconds hand might not be to everyone’s taste (we preferred the arrow-tipped hand, which was also used on other Omega models like the Moonwatch, and it fulfills its function as a safety control while diving almost as well as does the large lollipop hand). Overall, the subtle design updates on the new Seamaster 300 have resulted in a more balanced and refined appearance, and the technology, functionality, execution and finishing on the watch leave little to wish for. In short, the generational shift has been successful in every respect.

Vintage Eye for the Modern Guy: Fake Rolex GMT-Master II

Panerai, rolex

Over the past 100 years or so, best replica Rolex has produced more than a few “dynasty” series of watches — from the Datejust to the Day-Date, to the Explorer, Daytona, and Speedking, to the piece we will be focusing on today: the  best 1:1 replica Rolex GMT-Master II . These watch collections originally built much of their reputations on functionality and durability, but have over the years transitioned more into the luxury (i.e., more expensive) side of horology, giving them another layer of intrigue to many consumers.

The luxury Rolex GMT-Master II replica watches, the descendant of the original GMT-Master (as you might have guessed), is no different. The GMT-Master series, first launched in 1954 with the Reference 6542 model, was aimed at pilots and travelers looking to keep track of the time over various time zones. This watch, with its familiar oyster case, had a 24-hour bidirectional Bakelite bezel, a lack of crown guards, and a prone-to-patina dial depending on the owner’s level of use. Over the next few years and references, Rolex introduced a less fragile (relative to the Bakelite) metal bezel, crown guards for more protection, and various improvements on the original movement.

In 1983, the original GMT-Master II made its first appearance, with Reference 16760. This “sequel” series to the GMT-Master came to be recognized for its larger, thicker case, more prominent crown guards, and more robust overall feel compared to previous pieces in the broader history of the series. In 1999, the original GMT-Master was discontinued, but today the GMT-Master II still stands strong as an integral pillar in Rolex’s portfolio.

The modern reference, the 116710, is an interesting piece with both contemporary and vintage design elements. Cased in a 40-mm steel, yellow or white gold, or steel-and-yellow-gold case, with the familiar 24-hour rotating bezel and crown guards, the piece is powered by the durable automatic Caliber 3186. On the dial resides applied circular, rectangular, and triangular hour markers in white gold; a date indicator with “cyclops” lens at the 3 o’clock mark; and a host of different writing, including the corporate logo toward the top of the dial and descriptors of the watch toward the bottom.

The last key features to notice are the hands, which include a “Mercedes”-style hour hand, a sword-shaped hand for minutes, a lollipop-tipped hand for seconds, and, finally, a triangle-tipped GMT hand pointing to the 24-hour scale on the bezel. The GMT-Master II is widely available at many different dealers, and most often starts in price at around $7,000.

On one hand, there are many similarities between the modern GMT-Master II and more historical references, but on the other, there are also many differences. Today, the 24-hour bezel, GMT hand, and dial features have remained practically the same, outside of a few color options and material improvements. Coversely, however, the lugs are much shorter, the case is much thicker, and some color options previously available on the steel versions (such as the famous red-and-blue “Pepsi” bezel, as seen below) are now available only on the models made of more precious metals, such as white gold. Overall, the modern watch is a very different piece as compared to the original GMT-Masters of the 1950s and ‘60s. It is today a much more masculine and  practical fake watch, more likely to be found sitting thick upon the wrist of a boardroom executive than that of a pilot — despite its very interesting heritage in the world of aviation and its enduring fame among lovers of pilots’ watches.

I have mentioned in the past the strong craving of many vintage-watch enthusiasts for more historically faithful re-editions by Rolex. But the brand, thus far, has focused much more on appealing to modern tastes than by humoring those seeking the designs of years past. That said, The top quality replica Rolex GMT-Master II model has been in production for over 10 years (it was released in 2007), so fans of the series will likely see an update to the collection in the near future. And if the latest Daytona unveiled at Baselworld is any indication, it might just include a historical nod, whether it’s the bezel, color options, or even more.

5 Icy Replica Watches That Aren’t Just For Celebrities

breitling, omega, rolex

When we think of ‘bling’ a few things come to mind – music videos, red carpets, and exclusive events. But iced-out watches aren’t just for the famous. Effortlessly cool, these luxury watches will elevate any look, catch every glimmer of light, and undoubtedly steal the show. Here, we’re highlighting a handful of replica watches that the everyday man (or woman) can sport.

Replica Hublot Big Bang Steel and Diamonds

A simple black rubber strap helps keep this replica diamond-encrusted watch a piece that can exist outside the world of professional sports and red carpets events (Image: Hublot).

This watch might look like the type of timepiece your favorite sports star flashes after the game, but you too can get your hands on this icy timepiece for a cool $48,000. The 39mm stainless steel case is outfitted with a whopping 118 diamonds – the bezel paved with another 48 baguette-cut diamonds. Then, to balance out the bling, Hublot has toned it down with a simple black rubber strap.

While this watch is studded with nearly two-hundred diamonds, it still manages to feel relatively approachable. Maybe it’s the black face with those familiar bold numerals, or the industrial screws perfectly placed between the diamonds. Either way, I’m sold. You might not play professional sports, but this watch is going to look just as good on your wrist after a pickup game. Oh, and if you’re interested at all in what’s under the sapphire crystal, ticking inside is a beautiful self-winding HUB1710 calibre with a 50-hour power reserve.

Fake Rolex Daytona with Diamond Bezel

Despite having a tool-watch heritage, this Rolex Daytona sports a white gold case and diamond-set bezel.

Slip on a high quality copy Rolex Daytona and it’s a sure sign you’ve ‘made it.’ This iconic watch screams luxury and oozes with vintage heritage; but, you definitely don’t have to be in the ranks of Paul Newman to sport one. Personally, I love how this already in-your-face watch has been blinged out with two rows of diamonds – 124 of them to be exact, replacing the traditional tachymeter bezel on the 18k white gold case.

While this watch doesn’t lack in glam, it’s not nearly as flashy as more modern versions like the Rainbow perfect replica Rolex Daytona, which feels much more red-carpet (or Super Bowl halftime show) than cocktail hour. This Daytona has been placed on a black leather band which also tones down the glimmering bezel, striking Daytona dial, and glitzy white gold case.

Replica Breguet Classique 5238

Set with 96 baguette-cut diamonds, the replica Classique 5238 certainly falls into the icy watches category; however it manages to maintain a classy sophisticated appearance (Image: Breguet).

If you’re going to go for bling, you might as well go big. This Breguet Classique 5238 just screams opulence – the bezel, lugs, and 40mm white gold case are paved with a whopping 96 baguette-cut diamonds. If that’s not enough intricacy for you, the dial and movement have been skeletonized, and the delicately-shaped hands have been given a blue finish for a lovely contrast as they swing around the dial.

While totally iced out, this watch feels completely sophisticated. The black leather band also helps keep it grounded, whereas something in matching white gold or equally blinged out might make it feel over the top (if you believe in that sort of thing). If you’re searching for something icy but elegant, you really don’t need to look any further.

Omega Constellation Co-Axial Yellow Gold Diamond Bezel 35mm

The Constellation is an icon and this particular model ups the ante with a diamond-set dial and bezel (Image: Omega).

They say you can spot an perfect Omega replica Constellation from across the room – put that to the test with this stellar yellow gold, diamond-clad reference. As if the 18k yellow gold case and matching bracelet with a champagne dial wasn’t enough, replica Omega decided to up the ante with diamond hour markers and a diamond-set bezel – we counted 45 diamonds in total.

This timepiece is far from understated, but the relatively low diamond count compared to the others on this list does keep it from feeling like one of those ultra-blinged-out, celebrity-only icy watches. With that being said, it is a Constellation after all, and this watch is going to go far from unnoticed. After you’re done showing off that killer bezel, be sure to turn it over and show off the sapphire crystal caseback and Co-Axial Caliber 2500 movement .

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak in Pink Gold and Diamond Bezel

icy watches
While the bezel features 40 brilliant-cut diamonds, this Royal Oak isn’t too icy to be worn with every outfit (Image: Audemars Piguet).

Pink gold has never looked so good. There, I said it. This sporty timepiece molded out of 18k rose gold left me in a puddle – totally gushing over the famous rounded-edge octagonal case and 40 brilliant-cut diamonds set in the bezel. I also can’t get enough of that handsome, grey nickel-toned dial with AP’s signature, Grande Tapisserie pattern, which brings back that sporty and modern feel to this otherwise 1:1 copy watch .

This is the kind of watch that you’re going to want to work into every outfit, and I don’t blame you. It helps that while striking, it isn’t so icy that you automatically freeze out every option. The beautiful pink gold also warms up the look and really helps differentiate it from the typical diamond-clad icy watches that have flooded the market.

Best Everyday Replica Watches: Luxury Timepieces for Daily Wear

breitling, omega, rolex

Every watch manufacturer has a number of arrows in their quiver – a variety of models to suit different tastes and different situations. Some are intended as out-and-out dress watches, others are built solely to withstand challenging environments and never meant to complement a finely tailored suit. And then there are the multitaskers, the luxury replica watches that can effortlessly slip between a dinner party or boardroom, while still looking at home during whatever weekend activity is thrown at them.

Top Picks for the Best Everyday Luxury Watch

Creating a luxury watch that’s perfect for daily wear isn’t easy, but a few brands have nailed it. These are the timepieces that effortlessly blend style, durability, and versatility, ready to go from the office to dinner, and everywhere in between. Below, we’ll dive into some of the best everyday luxury fake watches that do it all with style and dependability.

Rolex Datejust

In truth, there are several models in the Rolex canon that could fit the bill; pieces that never look out of place regardless of location or outfit. The Replica Rolex Submariner would be a legitimate choice, as it is really the first design to cross the divide between work and play – and if it’s good enough for 007 whether he’s donning wetsuits or white tuxedos, it’s good enough for me.

However for sheer versatility, the Replica Rolex Datejust pretty much clinches it. Debuting way back in 1945, and staying in continuous production ever since, the different combinations of metals, dial colors, hour indexes, handsets, and bracelets have resulted in variations too numerous to count. This means that this all-time classic design can be either the unassuming introvert, the extravagant showman, or anything in-between.

Although its humble feature-set might seem rather quaint today by today’s standards, upon its release, the Rolex Datejust ushered in a major step forward in wristwatch development. As the very first automatic winding, waterproof watch to display the date, it revolutionized the entire industry and ultimately set Rolex on a path towards domination of the high-end timepiece market.

To their credit, Replica Rolex has never messed with a winning formula, and the Datejust of yesteryear is very clearly of the same breed as the most contemporary examples that are sold today. Although its classic and iconic lines may not have changed much, the technology working away inside has always stayed on the cutting edge of mechanical watchmaking.

The Datejust has been through a number of different calibers during the last 70-plus years, with each upgrade adding more and more resilience, accuracy and convenience to Rolex’s core collection. However, perhaps the biggest changes to the Datejust have come within the last few years. Finally caving to audience pressure, Rolex relented and released a larger top-end model to run alongside the traditional 36mm size – first with the poorly-received Datejust II in 2009, and then with the similarly-sized but more characteristically svelte, Datejust 41 from 2016.

With the introduction of the 41mm model, the fake Rolex Datejust collection now spans five distinct sizes. Alongside the classic 36mm, there’s the Datejust 31 collection and the Rolex Lady-Datejust models in 28mm (along with the previous 26mm and 24mm sizes), which predominantly cater to a female audience. This iconic watch maintains its timeless versatility and elegance, making it an ideal choice for any occasion. Truly, is any Rolex collection complete without at least one Datejust in its ranks?

Rolex Submariner

Let’s circle back to the Fake Rolex Submariner, the original James Bond Watch. The one that looks debonair tucked under the cuff of a tuxedo yet is still durable enough for underwater adventures. Like the Datejust, the Submariner recently received a contemporary upgrade in the form of a larger 41mm case option and integration to a brand-new generation of movements, the caliber 3235.

The Submariner has roots as a professional diver’s watch, originally featuring only a stainless steel finish and a dateless dial. Today, the options have expanded considerably to include two-tone, all-gold, or steel finishes, a handful of dial and bezel color options, and a date or no date on the dial. It’s an incredibly versatile tool watch that can easily take on a more luxurious aesthetic or one that is more functional and sensible, depending on the metal finish.

The Submariner also isn’t the most water-resistant model in the Rolex lineup. However, it offers more than enough waterproofness for the average wearer, especially if the most action your watch will ever see is a quick dip in the pool or ocean. Still, the resilience of the case ensures a lifetime of precise readings and is easy for collectors of all levels to appreciate.

With the 41mm Submariner release in 2020, Rolex retired the staple 40mm Submariner entirely. However, many avid Rolex enthusiasts will argue that the 1mm difference is hard to notice when the watch is actually on your wrist. The current collection is available in Oystersteel, two-tone Yellow Rolesor, yellow gold, or white gold. From there, you have your choice of Rolex’s lustrous Cerachrom ceramic bezel in either black, blue, or green and either a black or blue dial, depending on the specific reference number. Each iteration of the modern Rolex Submariner is outfitted with a three-piece Oyster bracelet, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and a Triplock waterproof screw-down crown.

OMEGA Speedmaster Professional

About as fundamental to Perfect Replica OMEGA watches as the Datejust is to Rolex, the Speedy is possibly the most universally recognized chronograph in existence. Many consider it the ideal mechanical sports watch; however its real party piece lies in its ability to also look perfectly at home on more dignified occasions, making it a great all-rounder, and one of the best everyday watches that money can buy.

Launched as part of a trio in 1957 (along with the Railmaster and Seamaster), the CK2915 Speedmaster rounded out OMEGA’s Professional Collection. This debut model, a 39mm piece designed by Claude Baillod, was groundbreaking, featuring the first tachymeter scale positioned on the bezel, freeing up space on the dial. Its arrangement of three sub-dials and exceptional legibility inspired countless competing designs, including the Rolex Daytona. Notably, the CK2915-1 model has become a sought-after collector’s piece, with the most expensive OMEGA watch ever sold fetching $3.4 million at auction in 2021.

But not even that legendary piece could compete with the legacy of the Speedmaster when it accompanied Buzz Aldrin as he took his lunar stroll in 1969. As it was the only timepiece to survive the brutal tests of NASA’s punishing selection process, the OMEGA Speedmaster became qualified for spaceflight, and got launched into the history books when it became the first watch worn on the surface of the moon.

So, if it matches so well with sportswear and space suits, how could it possibly be adaptable enough to pair with business attire too? It is the understated nature of the Speedmaster’s design, with its more-or-less monochrome palette, that plays a major role in its versatility. For the most part, and particularly with the earliest pieces, OMEGA stuck with the formality of black across all elements, with not even the three counters being picked out in a contrasting color. This lends the watch a more sober air, striking a perfect balance between casual and formal, especially when fitted with a leather strap.

However, unlike the Rolex Datejust, which has stayed looking exactly like a Datejust since day one, the Speedmaster has lent its name to a number of broadly diverse models over the course of its six decades in the game. Some have remained very much in-line with the original, others have splintered off into the wildly experimental. Fortunately however, there has always been a well-populated collection of vintage-inspired models – pieces that draw from those revolutionary creations that laid the foundations for every chronograph that came after.

The contemporary Speedmaster family contains the OMEGA Moonwatch series, based on the NASA standard-issue which has accompanied all six lunar missions. Additionally there is the ‘1957’ range, released in 2017 on the Speedy’s 60th anniversary, which pays tribute to the one that started it all. An almost faultless amalgamation of tool watch and luxury timepiece, the OMEGA Speedmaster is an all-time great.

Fake Panerai Luminor

You might not immediately think of Panerai Replica as an everyday watch. They can be quite polarizing, after all, with their large, cushion-shaped cases and oversized guards. However, there are many really classy options within the brand’s catalog that toe the line between a tool watch and a nice dress watch that are perfectly suitable for daily wear. One that comes to mind is the Panerai Luminor, distinguished by the brand’s signature lever-activated crown guard, cushion case, and luminous baton and Arabic hour markers.

The design set options are vast, including those in stainless steel, Goldtech, titanium, and black ceramic, just to name a few. You can also choose a metal bracelet to match the case, classy leather, or other fabric options. Additionally, there seems to be a dial color within the current collection to suit nearly anyone’s wrist, such as military green, vibrant blue, classy white, sleek anthracite, and traditional black.

Case sizes tip the scales at 47mm for the largest offerings within the current lineup, and as small as 42mm on the opposite end. However, not every Luminor is equally robust. Interestingly, the collection also has a parallel collection called the Panerai Luminor Due that houses much slimmer cases by approx. 40% when compared to the original Luminor.

Replica Breitling Superocean Heritage

Breitling watches, known for their rugged, testosterone-fueled designs, might initially seem like an unusual choice for a watch that fits seamlessly outside a fighter plane cockpit. And opting for the SuperOcean line over the more refined Premier Collection might appear even stranger.

It is true that the brand first made their name supplying professional aviators with groundbreaking functionality in the likes of the Breitling Navitimer, before turning their attention to the world of scuba diving. The original SuperOcean line actually debuted the same year as OMEGA’s ‘Master’ trilogy in 1957. It was a series that introduced the first chronograph to have a reverse panda dial, and a unique indicator at the six o’clock to show if the unusual single-hand minute counter was running.

In 2017, on the 60th anniversary of the Breitling SuperOcean’s first appearance, the Heritage II line launched, with plenty of nods to its ancestors, along with some fascinating new technology. The family, which now contains several case sizes, with a mix of simple three-hand models and chronographs, is available in either all steel, red gold, or with steel and red gold cases. Dial colors come in blue, black, white, or green, and there are a few panda dials on the stopwatches thrown in too, just for old time’s sake.

Of the extensive range, the stainless steel time and date model, with its ‘Volcano Black’ dial is possibly the version best suited to our brief, although ample options exist, including a blue dial variant and even a chronograph model. Particularly versatile on its mesh-like bracelet, it is hardy enough for a day of wearing a t-shirt and jeans, yet scrubs up well for a sophisticated evening.

The dial is certainly one of the more legible Breitling faces, with a handset borrowed directly off the originator – all broad swords and arrows. Additionally, the period correct brand logo and cursive “SuperOcean” font add a pleasing retro nostalgia. However, there is plenty of the modern mixed in with the traditional. The beautiful matte black bezel is now forged from ceramic, rather than metal like those used on the first SuperOcean watches.

Inside, the in-house caliber B20 movement is Breitling’s take on the MT5612 from Tudor’s Black Bay and Pelagos ranges. In a reciprocal move, Tudor got to re-work Breitling’s own B01 caliber for their Black Bay Chronograph, in a ‘movement exchange program’ worked out between the two houses. The B20 is a highly praised and sturdy workhorse of a mechanism, beating at 28,800vph and providing up to a 70-hour power reserve, which is a significant improvement over the bought-in ETA movements of past high quality copy Breitling watches.

Overall, although it may not be the most obvious first port of call when looking for a multifaceted timepiece for both business and pleasure, the SuperOcean Heritage II manages to cover all the bases. Stylish and understated, it will never be over or underdressed.

Oris Divers Sixty-Five

When it comes to Swiss watchmaking luxury, Oris watches fall within the entry-level range. The respected watchmaker has been a fixture of the industry for well over a century with such innovations to their name as the Worldtimer that allows the wearer to adjust the local time in one-hour “jumps.” Their catalog includes all the usual watch types, such as robust divers, dual-time pilot’s watches, and classically-styled dress watches. With neo-vintage watches taking the industry by storm, you can’t go wrong with the perfectly retro Oris Divers Sixty-Five.

It follows the design queues from a successful Oris dive watch produced in the 1960s, featuring similar hour markers and even a vintage-inspired rivet link bracelet and Super-LumiNova in a faux patina. It’s an attractive watch that will undoubtedly look great anywhere your day takes you. Still, it’s a dive watch with all the standard underwater amenities, such as water-resistance up to 100 meters, a unidirectional bezel topped with a 60-minute diving scale, and large, luminous hour markers that are easy to read in the dark.

The brand has released countless iterations of the Oris Divers Sixty-Five since it came to market just a few years ago, including bronze or stainless steel, a handful of unique dial colors, several case size options, and your choice of either a leather, textile, or metal bracelet. The current collection even features a Divers Sixty-Five with a chronograph movement.

Replica Rolex Perpetual 1908 In Platinum Is Actually Amazing

rolex

I’m here to tell you what you may have already guessed: The new cheap super clone Rolex 1908 in platinum is amazing. Get the idea of Rolex as a tool watch brand out of your head. Forget the monstrosity of the new Deepsea. Dig back into those old Rolexes you’ve seen. Remember the grace and elegance of the Cellini. Recall the potential of the original 1908 releases, not at all disappointing, but perhaps not fully realized. This is exactly what the 1908 should’ve been from the start, with a gorgeous dial and a perfect weightiness. The 1:1 wholesale replica Rolex 1908 in platinum is the bee’s knees.

The online copy Rolex 1908 in platinum watch wears damn near perfectly. The curve of the case, how it’s broken up by the thin fluting at the edge of the bezel. In platinum, I expected this to be heavy, even on a strap, but it’s not. The metal adds a luxurious heft that reminds you that it’s there without distracting you or weighing you down. The flatness of the dials on the original models made the 39mm diameter seem even wider, like a placid lake versus a churning one that distorts your perception of where the shores are. With the patterning of the dial, it pulls things in a bit, so it feels just a touch smaller. The 9.5mm thickness just makes wearing it that much easier. The strap is nothing better or worse than I expected, but the butterfly deployant was great, with a perfect curve that didn’t dig into my wrist at all, and felt secure when I had it on.

About that dial. It’s so much richer than the other ice blues that UK high quality fake  Rolex uses on other platinum models like the Day-Date and the Daytona. It’s undoubtedly the exact same hue, but the variation created by the guilloché brings it to life. The blues are darker and the highlights are whiter, a wider dynamic range opened between the two for a more engaging experience. Word is that the guilloché might in fact be done by hand (Rolex is unclear, but has said that it uses traditional engined-turned technique). Whether it is or isn’t, the pattern is extremely precise in its repetition. While I could have done without the “Superlative Chronometer” text, it didn’t bother me while handling the watch, and my eye wasn’t drawn to it. The brushing on the slim minute track and the subdial complement each other perfectly and help to add variety to the dial (though I don’t know if it was needed).

For a Rolex, the movement was stunning. It was great when compared to most replica watches, but we know Rolex doesn’t put much time into decoration as it usually hides movements behind solid casebacks. There are signs of change on that front, but this is certainly the best finishing you’ll get on any current  top replica Rolex model. The sunny rays on the skeletonized rotor catch the light and play against the striping on the bridges below, which feature a nice, polished band between the wider stripes, which actually have a slight curve to the internal striations. As a reminder, the movement has all the wonderful Rolex tech, is rated to -2/+2 seconds per day, and delivers 70 hours of power at 28,800 vph.

I feel like I’m reliving that moment when the AP 11.59 went from the original Daniel Wellington-like dials to their current form, with striking materials and layouts. The shift from the flat white and black of the original 1908s to the ice blue guilloché triggers an immediate, “Oh, I get it now!” This should have been the debut 1908, which would have made a much bigger splash and allowed them to roll out the white and black dials without people going “Well why did they lead with those?” More like this, please. The hot replica Rolex Perpetual 1908 in platinum (Ref. 52506) is priced at $30,900 USD and may just be worth every damn penny.
