Omega Introduces The Canada Luxury Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean GMT “Dark Grey” Replica Watches

Posted by on

After shading the Aqua Terra Worldtimer line in greys and greens, Omega debuts the cheap replica Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean GMT “Dark Grey” watches. A new take on its dive-ready GMT, the watch is named after the dark grey ceramic case, which harnesses the material’s hardness while staying lightweight thanks to the extensive use of titanium for its internals, including the movement bridges.

Initial thoughts

Titanium and ceramic are not noteworthy in themselves, but here the materials are combined in an interesting and functional manner. The scratch resistance of ceramic is useful for the case, while the titanium inner components keep the weight down, a helpful characteristic for big AAA CA fake watches.

And the materials also create a shades-of-grey appearance that gives the top replica watches a sense of seriousness – with the orange accents bringing some tasteful contrast – though it is less stark compared to its all-black ceramic sibling. 

Thought lighter than usual for a watch of its size, the new GMT is a big watch measuring 45.5 mm in diameter, making it quite a bit bigger than comparable perfect copy watches from Tudor for instance. It would be more wearable and have a wider appealing if the case was in the range of 41 mm to 42 mm.

Despite its material attractions, however, the Swiss made replica Omega GMT “Dark Grey” watches is expensive at US$22,200. It is almost twice as expensive as the same model in black ceramic (that admittedly doesn’t have a titanium movement). Despite the titanium components, the price is hard to justify since it is by and large the same watch.

Shades of grey

The “Dark Grey” retains the standard design of the Omega Planet Ocean GMT super clone watches for men, but is rendered in materials not used before. Its dimensions are identical to the version in black ceramic, with the case measuring a hefty 45.5 mm in diameter and 14.7 high.

However, the case is silicon nitride ceramic, a composite of silicon nitride and ceramic that has superior physical properties compared to regular ceramic. In particularly, it is lighter and stronger, both useful attributes for a watch case.

The case shares the same patented construction found on other 1:1 online replica Omega Planet Ocean watches. The back is secured by a Naiad Lock, a bayonet-locking mechanism that ensures it is perfectly aligned with the case.

The insides of the best fake watches are mostly titanium. The dial is sandblasted titanium with applied anthracite hour markers and hands. Additionally, the same alloy is used for the helium escape valve, bezel, and inner chapter ring.

Most notable is the cal. 8906 Ti, a variant of the standard cal. 8906. The cal. 8906 Ti retains all of the functions of the standard version, namely the user-friendly dual time zone function set via the crown. But it features a main plate and bridges in sandblasted titanium, which affords significant weight reduction over the brass components of the standard calibre.

Like most Omega movements, the cal. 8906 Ti is accompanied by METAS certification, which attests to its exceptionally high magnetism resistance of over 15,000 Gauss, owing to the silicon hairspring and paramagnetic alloys for the escapement.

Building The Canada Perfect Online Fake Watches Collection With €25,000 — Nacho’s Picks From Omega And Cartier

Posted by on

You’ve seen our picks at under €1,000, €3,000, and even €5,000. Before we climb up to the next (and final) rung of the price ladder and show you our favorite sub-€10K high quality replica watches, we decided to take on a slightly different challenge. We daydream and philosophize all the time at Fratello HQ. Whether it’s about our grails, the perfect three-watch collection, or even what we’d buy within a specific budget, the wheels never stop turning. So this time, we’ll take a look at the collection we’d put together with a €25,000 budget. As it turns out, there’s no better way to trigger a profound existential crisis in watch writers than by giving them a hypothetical stack of cash without any rules for spending it. That’s right; unlike with the previous challenges, we are not limiting ourselves to mostly Swiss made fake watches in production right now.

Our editors can pick any watches they want. In the case of pre-owned or vintage, the prices must be justified by listings they link to or by average prices on Chrono24. The only limitation that I placed on myself was to avoid the cheap CA replica watches I currently own. The idea was to avoid ending up with my current collection, which could easily be recreated well within this budget. And as I am pretty happy with it, chances are, I wouldn’t end up with something too different. Even with this in mind, I think you’ll see that the hypothetical apple does not land far from the real-life tree. I ended up with top copy watches — a collection of four core pieces and two additional daily wearers/beaters (for lack of a better term).

Replica Omega Speedmaster Moonwatches Professional Co-Axial Master Chronometer Chronograph (ref. 310.30.42.50.01.001) — €7,700

I won’t spend too much time on this one as I think you’ll agree with me on the Speedy being a logical pick. Though I do have more of a soft spot for my luxury fake Omega reference 3570.50 Speedmaster watches, I can’t deny that the latest reference was a giant leap for watch-kind. With a new and improved tapering bracelet, a top-spec Omega movement, a redrawn case design based on past references, and a handful of details that Speedy nerds can truly appreciate, it’s a worthy upgrade to this iconic chronograph. Plus, I must ultimately abide by my self-imposed rule of “no watches I already own.” And though the sapphire version, with its applied logo, is tempting, the €7,700 Hesalite super clone watches with Swiss movements is definitely the way to go for me.

Fake Cartier Tank Must Watches (ref. WSTA0041) — €3,350

Before deciding to apply the rule of avoiding AAA replica watches in my collection, I had included my beloved Omega Seamaster Professional 300M reference 2254.50 at this point in the list. However, as I am sticking to the rules, I’ll go with a dress watch instead. And that 1:1 best fake watches is the Cartier Tank Must reference WSTA0041. Now, the options for a dress(y) watch at around €3,000 are many. But I’m taking inspiration from what works in my collection without directly taking from it. Cartier also seems like a perfect choice given the brand’s heritage and the undeniably iconic style of the Tank’s case, rectangular dial, and Roman numerals. A JLC Reverso would have also been a good option, but keeping budget restrictions in mind, the Tank Must is the way to go.

I own wholesale replica Cartier Tank Solo watches with a slightly larger size and a less rounded case. It’s a watch I often wear in the colder months, on dressier occasions, or if I’m feeling particularly “fancy” in the summer. Its quartz movement, like the one found in the Tank Must, keeps it running reliably on time during long spells of not being worn. My day-to-day routine, hobbies, and individual style don’t make me a dress-watch guy. Other than on rare occasions, I’ll wear sports replica watches online of some description. However, with €25,000 to spend, I can pack my horological arsenal with all the tools I might need. My next two picks will also reflect this approach. So, that’s another €3,350 down. On to the last two picks!

Are Cheap Swiss Replica Omega Watches For Canada A Good Investment?

Posted by on

The short answer to the question “Are Omega watches a good investment?” (aside from “don’t buy a watch as an investment”) is that most of them will take a hit when bought new, but they do generally retain their value well when bought secondhand–and the most popular models can certainly increase in value. Maybe the increases won’t be as meteoric as with some Rolexes, but Omega has been making some great Swiss made replica watches in recent years and collectors have noticed. We never recommend buying watches strictly as an investment vehicle, but it’s sensible to consider value and collectability when making a luxury watch purchase. With that in mind, we’ve made a list of ten of the most investment-worthy Omega watches.

Which Omega Watches are the Best Investments?

In general, Speedmaster Professionals are the best “investment” Omegas, and some Seamasters do well too. While the supply of high quality Omega fake watches is not as limited as that of other brands such as Audemars Piguet or Patek Phillipe, and their mainstream demand isn’t as high Rolex’s, these watches still hold their value quite well. Limited edition watches are especially likely to increase in price over time, despite some collectors complaining that Omega’s quantities for limited editions can be on the high side.

Omega increased the price of the Speedmaster Professional in Europe and the UK by 7% in February 2023, as well as several times in the years before. As MSRP for new luxury replica watches increases, prices for previously owned versions of the same watches tend to increase as well. But which Omega references are the best investments in particular?

We asked one of Luxury Bazaar’s watch procurement specialists, Marco Ferrante, for his thoughts on the best 1:1 Omega copy watches from an investment standpoint, and his mind immediately went to the most popular modern steel Speedmaster references.

Later we’ll explain some of the key things that make vintage Omegas attractive, and we’ll discuss some other top replica watches as well. But for now let’s go over each of the watches Marco mentioned.

Omega Speedmaster Snoopy

As Marco said, in general the Snoopy is the best Omega watch for investment purposes. But a “Snoopy” isn’t just one model–it’s three. The original Snoopy Speedmaster (ref. 3578.51.00) made its debut in 2003, with no differences from a standard Omega Speedmaster Professional aside from the astronaut Snoopy art in the 9 o’clock subdial and on the caseback. Subsequently, a white Snoopy variant was introduced in 2015 (ref. 311.32.42.30.04.003) to commemorate the 45th anniversary of Apollo 13, and in 2020, the “Silver Snoopy” Speedmaster (ref. 310.32.42.50.02.001) marking the 50th anniversary was released. The black and silver Snoopies sell for around $20,000 while the white one goes for roughly twice that.

Omega Speedmaster Professional “Ultraman” Replica Watches

The tasteful orange accents on the Omega “Ultraman” Speedmaster Professional fake watches wholesale completely change the look of the watch, giving it more of a racing vibe. In 1967 (or 1968 depending on who you ask), a handful of 145.012 Speedmaster models were built with orange chrono hands for some reason. This variant was worn by a character in the Japanese TV show “Return of Ultraman,” which helped popularize it and gave it its nickname, and today the original vintage Ultraman Speedmasters go for about $40,000.

Omega has fully and officially embraced the “Ultraman” name with this reissue, and they’ve added just a little bit more orange than the original: the hour plots, the “tachymetre” text, and “Speedmaster” text are now orange as well. These 2018 Ultraman Speedies were a limited edition of 2,012 pieces, in honor of the year that the “Speedy Tuesday” phenomenon (sharing pictures of Speedmasters online on Tuesday) became popular. They were sold online in July 2018, and sold out in under two hours. Now they go for about for about 1/3rd of the price of the vintage Ultraman models.

Omega Speedmaster Alaska Project Fake Watches

Omega made two types of prototypes in collaboration with NASA from 1969-1972, with the goal of making a watch highly suitable for use in space. The Alaska I prototypes had huge, odd-looking cushion cases, while the Alaska II models had a typical Speedmaster case shape. Conspicuously, a large red removable aluminum heat shield could be added to the watch to help it resist extreme temperatures.

In 2008, Omega released a limited-edition production replica watches for sale based on the Alaska II prototypes, which is fondly referred to as the “Alaska Project” Speedmaster. Naturally, the distinctive aluminum heat shield is once again part of the package. The awkward subdial hands, designed to maximize legibility, contribute to its distinctive look. Since very few Speedmasters have white dials, the Alaska Project has remained highly desirable; it sells for over 3x its original MSRP.

Replica Omega “Ed White” 321 Speedmaster Watches

While Rolex never exactly copies their past designs, Omega almost egregiously does. Not only did Omega replicate the exact size (39.7mm) of the popular vintage “Ed White” Speedmaster reference, they even went so far as to start re-producing the same caliber of movement again. That’s right, Omega started making a 1960’s-era caliber again, just because they knew collectors loved the vintage Lemania 321 movements so much.

As for the dial, Omega didn’t overthink it, and seemed to go for an exact copy of the original Ed Whites. They even added some “fauxtina” to the hands and hour markers. The build quality of these modern Omegas is quite high, so resale prices of the modern “Ed White” are actually often higher than average-condition vintage ones, even though it’s not a limited edition.

Now we’ve covered all of Marco’s favorites, but we still think there are some other relatively slept-on AAA CA Omega super clone watches with solid investment pedigree. Let’s start with the only gold model in this article:

Green Fake Omega Speedmaster Watches in Moonshine Gold

When the green Rolex Daytona was first released, the general public paid little attention at first. Eventually, John Mayer expressed his enthusiasm for the watch and the collecting world ultimately agreed that it was, in fact, a sweet watch. Perhaps the same realization will come for the green Speedmaster Professional, made in Omega’s own extra-bright Moonshine gold alloy. Although it has the classic 42mm Moonwatch size and shape, it sports a modern Master Chronometer coaxial movement with industry-leading magnetic resistance (more on that soon) and outstanding timekeeping.

Omega Speedmaster Super Racing Replica Watches

The only automatic Speedmaster on our list is the Omega Speedmaster Super Racing (ref. 329.30.44.51.01.003), announced in late January 2023. Omega has made many Speedmaster Racing references, but the Super Racing Speedmaster is another beast entirely. This is Omega’s first watch with the Spirate system, which features a silicon hairspring with adjustable stiffness, allowing a watchmaker to adjust the watch in increments of 0.1 seconds/day.

As with all of high quality replica Omega’s Master Chronometer watches, they are certified by METAS, the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology. The METAS certification process runs each watch through eight different tests, including magnetic and water resistance, and accuracy testing. All Master Chronometer watches must already have been chronometer-certified by COSC (Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute). This double-testing helps ensure that all Master Chronometers run within -2/+2 seconds per day.

Omega has raised the bar even further with their Spirate system, which debuted in 2023 and guarantees 0/+2 seconds per day in accuracy. Like all of Omega’s Master Chronometers, the Speedmaster Super Racing has a magnetic resistance of 15,000 gauss (roughly equivalent to an MRI machine). The famous Rolex Milgauss only has a magnetic resistance of 1,000 gauss.

Omega Seamaster Diver 300m No Time to Die Edition Fake Watches

The next watch we are featuring is the Seamaster Diver 300m No Time to Die Edition. Created to celebrate Daniel Craig’s final appearance as James Bond in 2021’s No Time to Die, this is a sleek variation of the Seamaster Diver 300m. Daniel Craig himself actually assisted in the design of this watch, collaborating with Omega’s watchmakers on a watch he believed James Bond would wear.

Like the Speedmaster Super Racing, this watch has a Master Chronometer rating, and a magnetic resistance of 15,000 gauss. As this is the final watch worn by Daniel Craig’s James Bond, and arguably one of the best-looking Bond fake watches for men, this piece is likely to retain its value on the secondary market.

Replica Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatches “Sapphire Sandwich”

Now let’s take a look at an Omega that isn’t limited or rare at all, just timelessly endearing–the Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch “Sapphire Sandwich.” Although vintage Speedmaster Professionals have hesalite crystals and steel casebacks, this version sports sapphire crystals on both sides, hence the nickname. Note that this is an upgrade over the original Sapphire Sandwich (ref. 3573.50), as the new Sapphire Sandwich features Omega’s gorgeously finished Caliber 3861 movement. This watch is the modern epitome of what many of us think of when we hear the word Omega. The Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch is a timeless piece, likely to hold its value very well for decades to come.

Are vintage Omega watches good investments?

Omega indeed produced some highly collectible best quality replica watches from the 1950’s through the early 1970’s. Omega Ranchero models from the late 1950’s are worthy investment pieces, as are early Railmasters and obviously Speedmasters. But Omega lost their way a bit in the 1970’s–the era of Seamasters with non-screwdown crowns and movements with stamped parts–and collectors don’t generally clamor for 1980’s Omegas either.

Omega got back on track a bit in the 1990’s with the coaxial movement and the Bond Seamaster, which was the best Omega dive watch they had made in years. Another product of the 1990’s was the legendary Mitsukoshi Speedmaster, a Speedmaster Professional with a beautiful “panda” dial, limited to only 300 pieces. While those have proven good investments thus far, now the market is so saturated with Mitsukoshi “builds” (regular Speedmasters with the silver-and-black dial swapped in) that buyers need to exercise caution.

Love for Caliber 321

If we’re talking about investment-grade vintage Omegas, we have to mention the Lemania caliber 321 movement. Vintage Speedmasters powered by the 321 tend to be the most collectible, from the original “Ed White” reference with straight lugs (105.003) to the models worn by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon (105.012 and 145.012, respectively). Even after six decades or more, a properly maintained 321 Speedy will keep great time and feel absolutely wonderful to wind; there’s a reason the movement is so revered.

Love for the “Dot Over Ninety” Bezel

Another detail revered by Omega Speedmaster collectors is the “dot over 90” bezel. Many of these old bezels have since been replaced by later versions, which have slightly different placement of the number 90, but these “DON” bezels are a good indicator of originality. It is admittedly odd that the placement of a small dot relative to a tiny number on the bezel is such a big deal to Omega collectors, but, this is the world of collectible vintage fake watches online. Buying vintage requires a lot more due diligence than buying modern watches, especially if you’re looking at the purchase as an “investment.” Market value is hugely affected by condition and originality, so if you see a vintage Omega reference seemingly priced below market value, there’s usually a reason.

That concludes our guide to Omega “investment” watches. If you have a different opinion about the best investment Omega watch, let us know in the comments! Personal taste and enjoyment should be the main considerations when buying a luxury watch–very few luxury China replica watches skyrocket in value–but Omega has made a wide variety of models that are likely to at least retain their value for years to come. An Omega watch is a good investment as long as you’re investing in enjoying it.

Mir-Flown Best Quality Omega Speedmaster Fake Watches For Canada Go Up For Sale In The Netherlands

Posted by on

As RJ is traveling, I have the honor of taking over his Speedy Tuesday slot today. My old friends at Amsterdam Watch Company are bringing a watch to market. Now, that isn’t something we would usually cover, but this one is quite special and provides a good excuse to revisit an interesting chapter in Speedmaster history. This is one of 35 Speedmasters that spent 365 days aboard the Mir space station.

Let me take you back to July 1993. Omega sends 18 regular steel perfect replica Omega Speedmaster Professional watches on bracelets, 10 on leather straps, and seven in full gold to the Mir space station. It would be a full year until they would come back to our humble blue and green marble. One of the steel models was recently auctioned, fetching over US$118,000. And now another comes to market.

The Mir space station

Let’s start with that special location that is the Mir space station. Mir was the first-ever modular space station that was assembled in orbit by the Soviet Union in 1986. The station remained in low orbit until 2001, making its rounds at 7.7km/s or 27,700km/h. It would go around Earth once every 91.9 minutes. The station measured 19 meters in length, 31 meters in width, and 27.5 meters high, making it the biggest-ever satellite until ISS surpassed it.

Launched in the Soviet era, it would later be operated by the Russian Federal Space Agency. However, crew members of different nationalities were allowed. This included US astronauts, which was quite a step so soon after the Cold War.

Mir functioned primarily as a microgravity (weightlessness) research lab. Never before had people spent so much time in space to test the effects of zero gravity. This is also the official purpose of the presence of the 35 Omega Speedmaster fake watches for sale. Omega wanted to test the effects of long-term microgravity on the watches’ performance, so up they went in 1993.

Bringing the Mir-flown Speedies to market

Upon their return, Omega tested the AAA CA replica watches and found them to function perfectly. The long stay in zero gravity hadn’t negatively affected their performance. This confirmed to Omega that the Speedmaster was capable of prolonged use in space.

Omega serviced the cheap copy watches and turned them into collectibles. The brand added a special case back with “365 days on board space station Mir – July 1993 – July 1994” engraved. A VHS tape and book titled The Moon Watch also became part of the set. The watch itself came in a leather book-shaped box, and the entire set was packaged in a large aluminum carrying case. Naturally, the set also included a certificate that confirmed the space-traveling credentials of the watch.

The luxury replica watches were most likely sold in Switzerland and then found their way to collectors across the globe. Considering their very small quantity in comparison to other special editions, I can understand the appeal. And even though the only technical difference with a common 3590.50 is the case back, the actual space testing makes for a great story. Not many Moonwatch wearers can claim theirs was actually in space.

Coming back to the market

This specific ref. 3596.50 comes from the shared private collection of the owners of Amsterdam Watch Company. It will be the flagship of their offerings at this year’s PAN Amsterdam art, antique, and design fair.

The fair, which is held yearly in the RAI, Amsterdam, starts on the 19th of November and lasts until the 26th. The Swiss made replica watches will go on sale on the 19th and will be on display at AWCo’s stand. If you have your heart set on it but cannot come to Amsterdam, it can be purchased remotely as well.

The asking price is set at €125,000. Considering this one is unworn, and a worn example fetched US$118,000 earlier this year, there may be a market for it. I will certainly be following the process with great interest.

Closing thoughts

The story behind these Mir-flown Omega Speedmaster super clone watches online is quite fascinating. Of course, you can see why Omega marketed them commercially upon their return in 1994. Regardless, they were part of actual performance testing in space. And since only 35 are around, I can see the appeal.

I had the pleasure of handling this top Swiss fake watches back when I worked at AWCo myself. It is fascinating how it is so special and just a regular Moonwatch at the same time. It triggers some sort of short circuit in my brain. In the end, though, it is one of the grail Speedies for collectors. So if you already have your CK2915, yellow gold BA145.022-69, and both Speedy Tuesday editions, this is probably one for you.
