No list of top luxury chronographs would be complete without the perfect replica Omega Speedmaster, and as such its story has been told a thousand times. But today, rather than dwelling on the aspect of the watch that pertains to people who’ve worn it before, I’m interested in looking more into why you should want to wear it now.
First up, of all the something-master high quality fake watches that have been released over the years from Rolex and Omega alike, this one sounds the best. Seamaster sounds like the award you get for completing bronze, silver and gold swimming certificates. A GMT-Master sounds like a pre-war school physical education teacher. Swiss made fake Omega Speedmaster—now that’s a name. That’s Chuck Yeager, Malcolm Campbell, Andy Green. These are people who eat ten eggs, ten sausages and ten rashers of bacon for breakfast and Mach 10 for lunch and dinner.
And when it comes to speed, you need a speed machine. This is why I’d find it very hard to choose the Hesalite version of the Speedmaster over the sapphire, because the machine in this thing is worth the entry price alone. I think it’s borderline cruel that luxury fake Omega UK doesn’t offer a Hesalite front with sapphire back and have almost considered writing a strongly worded letter to Omega about it, but then I remembered I didn’t have the address. Perhaps they tried and got confused and ended up making a Omega Speedmaster replica for sale entirely out of plastic instead.
For the pedants, the calibre 3861 is not the 321 as was originally in the Swiss movement fake Omega Speedmaster. That is also available for those who want to spend fifty percent more. But for everyone else, the 3861 is everything your eyes like most about mechanical movements. It’s shiny and crisp, for one, with polished bits and brushed bits that don’t have the dull greyness a lot of the other top super clone Omega movements have. It’s also got more bits than your eyes know what to do with, which evokes exactly the same feeling of awe as seeing an exposed F1 engine, Rocketdyne or Cosworth.
I can’t think of a single other super clone watch that packs that much top shelf material in the back for less. Closest I can think of is the Seagull chronograph you see in the Studio Underd0gs but that’s at a very different level of finish. Otherwise, there’s nothing this side of something you’d have to sell your car to buy.
