The Return of Gold Watches: Replica Omega Speedmaster
Steel watches from brands such as Patek Philippe or Vacheron Constantin demand a premium, however that is not true of all brands. While steel is still seen as the number one metal when looking for a watch that is more utilitarian than dress, gold timepieces have come into their own. The title may seem a little misleading because gold Omega replica watches have never left us but gold wristwatches are becoming more hip than ever before. Some would say that gold used to be THE material for fine wristwatches, even pocket watches too, and in my eyes this is still the case (see what I did there?). A gold watch was the epitome of elegance in its most classic form. The image of a gold watch was harmed, somewhat, way back when they were seen as mere gifts to men for some reason or another.
Once upon a time, being gifted a gold watch was seen as a reward for a glittering, or in many cases a dull career. It was something you would associate with retirement, where the case back was inscribed with a heartfelt message befitting the retiree. But I think it is safe to say those days are gone, gold is cool again – or at least what is done with it, in my opinion. Even todays gold vintage counterparts appear to be more sought after than ever.
Gold watches have become more versatile than they ever were. Of course, the typical classic dress watch in gold is still just that but it works so much better. Then there are also the gold sports/tool watches that never really looked right in my eyes being made in such a precious metal, but it all makes sense now. When I see gold watches, I see summer – they are the ultimate summer watch. Take for instance one of the most common Rolex gold watches around: the Day-Date on a president bracelet. The first couple of words that come to mind are “offensively ostentatious” – or maybe that’s just me. However, install a leather strap and it becomes more informal, much more relaxed, and diverts attention. But if you look at a Rolex Daytona or Replica Omega Speedmaster, it isn’t quite the same. They’re still seemingly cool, or even more so, regardless of whether they’re on a leather strap or their original bracelet.
Looking at other watch manufacturers that are also well-known for creating the ultimate gentleman’s dress watch, such as Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet, or Jaeger-LeCoultre, gold timepieces produced by them now seem more popular and more versatile. Vintage examples from these brands are the gold Vacheron Constantin 4178 chronograph or a Patek Philippe 1463 chronograph – their uber cool vintage appearance can only be embraced. Not to mention their rose-gold counterparts, though some would argue these never went out of fashion and have always been vogue. The watches I’ve mentioned thus far from Patek and Vacheron in this paragraph would probably verge on the sportier type watch category. But what about dress watches like the Calatrava or Patrimony? Even these work with a more informal dressed down look.
Don’t get me wrong, gold replica Omega watches uk have and always will be the ultimate choice for a special occasion, regardless of the attire. A gold watch works just as well with a polo shirt and chinos as it does with a suit and tie. Though I do wonder, looking at it from a different angle, have gold watches always been cool and maybe we haven’t? As we mature our tastes change and what once seemed uncool, unpopular is now the complete opposite.

Dive Watch Test: Omega Replica Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Co-Axial
The Omega Replica Seamaster Watches Planet Ocean 600M Co-axial boasts very high-quality, well-crafted components, which contribute to its considerable sturdiness. The case, made of titanium, suffered only the slightest scratches during our test dive: The faint blemishes were almost impossible to detect on the sides of the case, which are satin finished.
The bezel remained unscathed because it has ceramic inlays like those on the bezel of another watch we tested, the Oris Tubbataha. The numerals and indices on the Omega’s bezel are made of “liquid metal,” a metal alloy with such a low melting point (400 degrees Celsius) that the molten metal can be pressed into the bezel’s notches without damaging the surrounding ceramic.
Steel alloys ordinarily used for watches have a hardness between 200 and 240 Vickers, but liquid metal is harder: 600 Vickers. The ceramic used for the bezel is even harder (1,200 Vickers), so after the liquid metal has been pressed into the notches, any excess alloy can be scraped away without marring the ceramic. Omega’s combination of ceramic and liquid metal results in a very hard and finely crafted dive-time ring.
The ceramic on our test Replica Omega Constellation Watches has the same lush blue color as the carefully crafted dial and the rubber strap. With its organic-looking surface and contrasting stitching, the rubber strap looks like leather and makes an elegant impression. It has a sturdy titanium clasp with two safety buttons and an embossed Omega logo.
The bezel is easy to turn, provided the wearer’s diving gloves are no thicker than 3 mm. The rotating bezel clicks cleanly into each of its half-minute settings without wiggling.
User-friendliness is unfortunately not as good under water as it is above. Reading the dive time is extremely difficult because the bezel doesn’t provide enough contrast. But even the time of day can be hard to make out: The hour and minutes hands, both with arrowheads, are so similar that they can be difficult to tell apart in turbulent or murky water. If you descend to darker depths, the luminous paint on the hands is too sparse to assure absolute clarity.
The paint itself shines very brightly and the minutes hand, unlike all the other displays, glows yellow rather than green. The indices are nice and wide, too. These features combine to make the time very easy to read on land both day and night. The poor legibility only occurs under water, so the watch’s legibility received an overall rating of “good” in our test.
Another shortcoming – and one that we found on nearly all of our test watches – is the crystal’s inability to compensate for the peculiar way that light refracts under water. The front crystal is highly reflective: If you turn the Omega Replica De Ville Watches even slightly, the dial you could read a moment ago can change into a totally reflective surface.
This effect disappears entirely when you return to the water’s surface, where you can view the face from the side to enjoy the three-dimensional look of the dial, which has applied indices and an applied logo. We weren’t so happy with the black date disk: It’s the only element that doesn’t match the blue of the rest of the watch.
The date display can be reset backward if necessary, rather than having to move it dozens of days forward. It jumps forward to tomorrow or back to yesterday as necessary when you set the hour hand forward or backward in hourly increments.
The watch contains Omega’s own automatic Caliber 8500, which deserves kudos for its distinctive embellishments and modern construction, including a balance bridge rather than a balance cock, a freely swinging hairspring, and four regulating screws on the balance. The balance spring is made of silicon.

Baselworld 2015:Swiss Omega Replica Globemaster
When we first saw the Omega replica Globemaster, our breaths were all taken away. You see, many of us have had a soft spot for iconic and classic looking Omega timepieces. I guess I am the biggest culprit among the writers, especially since the first Omega replica watches that I have purchased for myself was a vintage Omega Seamaster from the 60s.
The Omega Globemaster is just a reminiscence of the good ol’ days from the 50s and the 60s. The design cues just exude that perfectly. The evergreen fluted bezel. The iconic case design of the Constellations and Seamasters of the past. The venerable pie-pan dial. Everything is so classic, so timeless.
But beneath that vintage facade, the mechanics that powers the Omega Speedmaster Replica watches is rather modern. The Globemaster uses Omega’s Calibre 8900/ 8901, an co-axial movement that is graded as a Master Chronometer. It is the first watch to have attained that certification, and its requirements were covered previously in our article.
The Globemaster is a relatively simple dress watch, with a date function and a power reserve of around 60 hours. It is also able to resist magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss. The caseback of the watch is transparent, which allows the movement to be basked in full glory. There is also a medallion that is set onto the glass caseback before it is being screwed into the case. The medallion is another reminiscence of the past, in which similar medallions were present in the casebacks of historic Omega Replica Globemaster watches. (By the way, the medallion representing the eight requirements of METAS certification and also the eight Chronometer records that Omega had set in the 20th century.)
@omegaonlineshops.com
The 39mm Globemaster is available in Stainless Steel, Sedna Gold, Two-Tone, and Platinum. In our opinion, we prefer the stainless steel piece because it contrasts very well with the blue dial and the blue leather strap. The Sedna Gold version is no slouch either, but that is for those who prefer a more classic and elegant look. Either way, they are timeless timepieces that will stand the test of time.
The Omega Globemaster retails at CHF6,300 for the stainless steel model, CHF18,000 for the Sedna Gold version, and CHF37,000 for the limited edition Platinum variant.

Omega Replica Watches For Men Sale,Fake Omgea Watches Store
With just a few days to go until the French Open begins once more in Roland Garros, title champion Maria Sharapova and Japanese tennis ace Kei Nishikori answered the call from Omega Replica Watches for Sale to play the most original match on the circuit – in front of the boutique at 104 Champs-Elysées under the watchful eye of former tennis champion Michael Chang in the umpire’s chair.
Together, just for fun replica Omega and especially for the kids in hospital care for which Theodora provides relief through laughter, they competed in a most unusual tournament known as the Generosity Challenge. Each player took turns trying to hit targets on the boutique’s storefront window with foam balls.
The goal of the Generosity Challenge was to hit as many targets as possible in 2 x 3 minutes. Michael Chang held a Replica Omega Classic scoreboard which he activated each time the countdown began. Next, the two champions each coached a team of three children with their swing: they also had 2 x 3 minutes to hit as many targets with the foam balls as possible.
The event took place at 5:45 pm and was moderated by decathlon champion, TV commentator and Roland Garros presenter Marc Maury. Among the large crowd that formed in front of the boutique Omega fake watches there were banners written in Japanese and Russian, held up to cheer the two players on (fans signed them and wrote words of encouragement) during the challenge.
For the event’s finale, Mathieu Selzer, Director of Omega Replica Constellation France, presented Emmanuelle Vedrenne, Director of Theodora, with a check for 10,000 euros. The Theodora Association aims to lighten the load for kids in hospitals as well as autistic children in specialized institutions through visits by professional clowns specially trained to perform in care facilities and for young patents with special care needs.

Master Makeover: Testing the Omega Replica Seamaster Aqua Terra
Omega’s in-house base Caliber 8500 debuted in the De Ville Hour Vision at the beginning of 2007, and has since served in many Omega Replica Seamaster Watches. Among these is the Seamaster Aqua Terra, which was outfitted with the automatic movement in 2008. Omega has also refined the watch’s exterior. The formerly smooth dial now sports vertical, parallel ridges, and the frame around the date display has been raised higher above the plane of the dial. The frame’s faceting is a good match for the distinctively three-dimensional hour indices, which are now coated with luminous material. Two-digit numerals at five-minute intervals have replaced the small, luminous dots around the periphery of the old Aqua Terra’s dial. The hands are double-faceted along their longitudinal axes, matching the faceting on the indices, and a welcome replacement for the simple fold that defines the long axes of the older hands.
The dial makes a high-quality impression, as does the 41.5-millimeter-diameter case, whose shape has remained the same. Credit for the visual panache is mostly due to the middle piece, which has organically curving lugs and very precisely alternating polished and satin-finished surfaces. On the Omega Replica Speedmaster Watches we tested, only the transition to the lugs, where the polishing disk couldn’t reach into the narrow angles, is less than meticulously executed. Otherwise, the craftsmanship of the case is excellent. The case has sapphire crystals in the front and back, with nonreflective treatment on both surfaces of the front crystal. The crown can be screwed shut and the back is threaded around its periphery. These details guarantee that the case can resist 150 meters’ worth of water pressure.
The attention to quality is also evident in the stainless-steel bracelet, although the styling here has fewer details than that of the dial and case. The bracelet is massive but not too thick, and its links are solidly screwed. Its upper surface is satin-finished and its flanks are polished.
The double-folding clasp has its pluses and minuses. All components, including the two safety buttons, have been milled from a solid block of steel, and the lack of a closure bow gives the clasp a very elegant appearance on the wrist. But the bracelet’s length cannot be adjusted by means of spring bars, so the only way to do so is to use a screwdriver to remove either half a link or an entire link until the bracelet fits perfectly. This means that the wearer cannot adjust the bracelet for minor variations in the size of his wrist without using a tool. Furthermore, the safety buttons open only one wing of the double-folding clasp, so the wearer must then flip open the other side by giving it a little tug.
This watch is very easy to operate. Its crown is constructed in such a way that it is firmly screwed, but has a large and easy-to-grip surface and snaps smartly into its various positions. After the crown has been unscrewed, the Replica Omega Hour Vision Watches offers little resistance and clicks almost inaudibly when its mainspring is manually wound — although manual winding won’t be necessary very often, because this self-winding watch amasses a 60-hour power reserve. You’d have to leave it motionless throughout an entire weekend before you’d need to reset and rewind it.

Swiss Luxury Replica Omega Watches,Fake Omega Railmaster,Constellation Online
Swiss luxury watch manufacturer Omega has created a seductive range of partners’ fake Omega watches sale to grace its Portofino collection. The Portofino Automatic and the smaller Portofino Automatic 37 have formed a bond and together set off their respective attractionsto their best advantage. Couples who wish to celebrate their union with a symbol on their wrists can choose from eight combinations. Whether purist or lavishly set with diamonds, the timeless beauty of the Portofino For Two models underscores the decision by two individuals to spend their time and build their future together.
@omegaonlineshops.com
The Portofino Automatic 37 (Ref. 4581) and the PortofinoAutomatic (Ref. 3565) represent the marriage of two individual watches whose simple design language is an unequivocal commitment to timelessness. “The success of Omega’s Portofino watch line over the years can be explained by a discreet sense of style that goes way beyond shortlived fashion trends,” explains Georges Kern, CEO of Omega. “In keeping with its name, this Swiss Replica Omega Constellation watches family reflects a carefree lifestyle suffused with southern flair. The Portofino For Two is a wonderful way for couples who share not only the same values, but also the same taste to show the world that they belong together.” The Portofino For Two alliance embraces six red gold and two stainlesssteel versions. With their diamond-set bezels or dials, they will appeal to couples who not only plan to share the beautiful things in life with each other, but also wish to add a luxurious note to their mutual commitment. The mirrorpolished surface of the case lends a further touch of luxurywhile the sunburst pattern on the dials creates fascinating reflections of light. An eye-catching feature on the 37-millimetre models is a slightly recessed inner circle, which underlines the dial’s three-dimensional character. The delicately nuanced colours of the alligator leather straps from wellknown Italian shoe manufacturer Santoni accentuate the luxurious overall impression.
A FLIRT WITH INDIVIDUALITY
The Portofino For Two Replica Omega Railmaster watches bring together the same classically elegant design, a clearly laid-out dial with three hands and an understated date display. Beyond this, however, they have individual characteristics of their own. The Portofino Automatic 37 in its 37-millimetre case looks particularly attractive on a slender wrist, while the Portofino Automatic with a diameter of 40 millimetres makes an optically more dominant impression. The solid mechanical automatic movement in both models keeps reliable time and guarantees 42 hours of precision running when fully wound. Apart from the hour, minute and seconds hands, the Portofino For Two features a rapid-advance date display. The central hacking seconds hand is stopped by pulling out the crown, and the sapphire glass has an antireflective coating on both sides to guarantee clear vision. As a symbol of the unity of two individual personalities, the Portofino For Two comes in a wide choice of models. The Portofino Automatic 37 cuts a particularly glittering figure with 66 diamonds on the bezel or a slightly more reserved one with 12 gemstones on the dial. Two of the Portofino Automatic models in red gold are likewise available with a diamondset bezel. All red gold models are available with a choice of a slate-coloured or silver-plated dial as well as goldplated hands and appliqués. The stainless-steel versions of the 37-millimetre models feature a slate-coloured dial while the Portofino Automatic in the 40-millimetre case makes a stunning impression with its black dial and rhodium-plated hands and appliqués.
THE PORTOFINO
For more than a quarter of a century now, the Portofino watch family has held a firm place in the collection from Omega. The former fishing village of Portofino near Genoa in Italy is the epitome of cultivated “joie de vivre” and cosmopolitan glamour. Even today, the great and the good gather in Portofino to enjoy the relaxed, laid-back southern European lifestyle. The classically elegant Portofino watch family is a subtle reflection of this lifestyle. Wellknown Italian shoe manufacturer Santoni is now run in the second generation by Giuseppe Santoni. Exclusively for Omega, the company produces the top-quality leather straps that adorn the Portofino Automatic 37 and the two Portofino Automatic partners’ models with diamond-set bezels. A complex process during manufacture endowsthe leather with a certain patina that results in the characteristic gradations and nuances of colour. The technique makes leather look as if it had already been lovingly cared for over a period of several years even though it is, in fact, brand new. Another instantly recognizable feature of Santonishoes is an orange leather lining, mirrored here on the inner surface of the strap. All the charm and aesthetic appeal of life in the south is united in the perfect craftsmanship that hallmarks both replica Omega watches for women and strap.

3 New Omega Replica Seamaster and Speedmaster Watches
The new Omega Replica Speedmaster Mark II is based on a model released in 1969, the same year that astronauts wore Omega Speedmaster Professional watches on the surface of the moon, forever earning that model the nickname “Moonwatch.” The original Speedmaster Mark II contained the same hand-wound mechanical caliber that powered the Moonwatch, Omega’s Caliber 861. The modern version has been updated, with an automatic movement (Omega’s co-axial Caliber 3330, with silicon balance spring and column-wheel chronograph mechanism) and a cleverly executed tachymeter scale that glows in the dark.
The barrel-shaped case has brushed and polished finishes; the crown and chronograph pushers are polished. The tricompax dial features subdials at 3 o’clock (30-minute counter), 6 o’clock (12-hour counter), and 9 o’clock (small seconds). The tachymeter scale is printed on the flat, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and illuminated from beneath by an aluminum ring filled with Super-LumiNova. The version with a black dial has a varnished white central chronograph hand; the one with gray dial uses fluorescent orange for this hand, as well as for the minute track. The Speedmaster Mark II has a brushed stainless steel bracelet with Omega’s patented extendable fold-over rock-and-pusher clasp. The watch is water-resistant to 100 meters and comes with a four-year warranty.
For the ladies, there’s the Omega Replica Constellation Pluma, distinguished by its mother-of-pearl dial, in natural white or blue, which features an engraved, wavy pattern that recalls the shapes of a feather (“Pluma” is Latin for “feather”). The blue dial is created using a technique that coats the underside of a white mother-of-pearl with a black paint. The stainless-steel case is 27 mm in diameter and features a diamond-set bezel in both versions of the watch. The white-dialed model has a bezel in 18k rose gold and 18k rose gold links in the steel bracelet; the blue-dialed version has a case, bezel, and bracelet all in stainless steel. The dials of the Constellation Pluma have 11 diamond indices and a date window at 3 o’clock; the hour, minute and seconds hands are in 18k gold and coated with Super-LumiNova. These ladies’ watches contain mechanical movements, Omega’s co-axial Caliber 8520.
Finally, Omega is releasing an extremely limited version of its Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean with a rotating GMT bezel made of patent-pending orange ceramic. The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Orange Ceramic, limited to just eight pieces worldwide, has a 43-mm case made of 950-grade platinum; the inscription “World Premiere” is engraved on the caseback, along with the series number. The dial is also made of 950 platinum, with a sand-blasted finish and an engraved “Pt950″ above the center hole, identifying the material used for the dial. As it has in other watches, Omega used Liquidmetal for the numerals, divider lines, inner ring and triangle on the ceramic bezel. White gold is used for the central hour, minute and seconds hands, and orange aluminum for the “6,” “9,” and “12” numerals and the central GMT hand.
The movement, Omega’s co-axial Caliber 8615 with silicon balance spring, is visible through the sapphire exhibition caseback. The watch comes on an integrated orange leather strap with platinum-thread stitching and a platinum fold-over clasp; an additional orange rubber strap is also included, along with a changing tool. This very rare Omega Replica Seamaster watch is delivered in a special wooden presentation box.

3 Milestone Omega Replica Watches, from 1948 to 1957
Omega Seamaster (1948)
René Bannwart is considered the father of the Omega Seamaster line. The man who would later found Corum had begun building Omega’s design department in 1940. This was new. At that time, sketches for new models were usually drawn by draftsmen in watch-case factories. Bannwart’s decision set Omega on a new path that other brands would soon follow. To celebrate Omega’s 100th anniversary, Omega sales director Adolphe Vallat asked Bannwart to develop a sporty, robust and waterproof wristwatch. Bannwart felt that Vallat wasn’t giving him enough time, so he presented one of his case designs with the comment “much too clunky.” To Bannwart’s surprise, Vallat was delighted. The result was the Seamaster family. It had its origins in Omega Replica Seamaster Watches supplied to Britain’s Royal Air Force in World War II. The 1948 civilian version of the pilots’ watch had a water-resistant case (to 50 meters), a screwed caseback with lead gaskets, a reinforced crystal, a silvered dial, and polished and riveted Arabic numerals. The version with small seconds, which was also available as a certified chronometer, contained the new automatic Caliber 28.10 RA RG-343. The model with a central seconds hand was the 28.10 RA SC-350.
Omega Constellation (1952)
Omega began using the name “Omega Replica Constellation” in 1952 to denote its officially certified wrist chronometers. The premier model was powered by Caliber 28.10 RA SC PC RG AM (nicknamed the “352”), which first appeared in 1945. This caliber wound itself via a unidirectional hammer-type winding weight. It also featured an indirectly propelled central seconds hand. The 28.1-mm-diameter, 5.4-mm-thick movement passed the official chronometer tests with flying colors. Its sturdiness, reliability and precision prompted Omega to produce the Constellation in large numbers. This model was also Omega’s first serially manufactured wristwatch chronometer.
Omega Speedmaster (1957)
The Omega Replica Speedmaster Watches, destined to become the most famous chronograph in the world because of its use by NASA for the Apollo program, was introduced in 1957. But the Speedmaster story really begins in 1943 with chronograph Caliber 27 CHRO C12, developed by Jacques Reymond. Born into a long-established family of watchmakers, Reymond had joined Omega’s subsidiary Lemania in 1942. The “CHRO” in the caliber designation stood for “chronograph,” the “27” referred to the movement’s diameter in millimeters, and “C12” denoted the additional counter for 12 elapsed hours. Further developed by Albert Piguet in 1946 and christened by Omega with the shorter name “321,” this movement was the smallest of its type at the time. Credit for the Speedmaster case design belonged to a group at Lemania, including designer Claude Baillod, prototype-maker Georges Hartmann and machinist Désiré Faivre. The watch’s salient features were a black dial, luminous hands, a tachymeter scale, water-resistant case, screwed back and domed Plexiglas crystal. The diameter was originally 39 mm. A 40-mm version with the tachymeter scale on a black background along the flange appeared in 1960.

OMEGA BOND SPECIAL: What replica watches will 007 wear next?
The credits have barely finished rolling on Spectre and already we’re thinking about the future. Will Daniel Craig pick up the Walther PPK one final time, and if not him, then who? But more important even than the man himself is the Omega replica watches he wears. Naturally, it’ll be Omega – but which one? Sure, he’s been faithful to the Seamaster since Goldfinger, but he’s also tried the Aqua Terra for size a few times – so there’s no reason why he couldn’t branch out into the brand’s other collections.
The Globemaster
Bond attends a large number of black tie events, casinos, gala openings, secret cabalistic meetings – you know, the usual. These occasions can degenerate into brawls and/or gun fights without a moment’s notice, which necessitates a cheap Replica Omega Globemaster watches that works just as well with a bow tie as it does a submachine gun. Tricky. Our suggestion would be the Globemaster. While dressy, it’s not fussily so, particularly in the steel model with tungsten carbide bezel, which would defend itself well against dings or scratches caused by hapless henchmen.
The PloProf 1200M
The odds are good that Bond will have future run-ins with sharks (possibly equipped with lasers). During the inevitable underwater struggle, 007 could do a lot worse than Omega’s deep diving PloProf. This new titanium version won’t weigh him down. Meanwhile, Q branch would have a field day with this thing. Just look at that giant button, just screaming ‘blow something up’.
Speedmaster Skywalker X-33
Bond’s adventures have always followed geo-political trends – from Cold War Connery to Craig’s realist post-9/11 spy. Given this precedent along with our current real-world renewed interest in space, it’s not implausible that Bond will again venture into the final frontier – perhaps a Martian mission is being hi-jacked, or a super-villain is plundering the resources of the moon for nefarious purposes. Whatever the scenario, there’s no doubt the replica Omega watches sale on his wrist should be Omega’s next generation moon watch, the feature packed digital Speedmaster X-33.
Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Black
He might be a secret agent, but he’s always preferred the direct approach, and he’s far more likely to confidently walk straight into the jaws of danger than ninja his way into a lair. But, if he ever needed to swap the tailored dinner jacket for more tactical gear, this blacked-out ceramic Speedmaster would provide maximum stealthiness.
Vintage Seamaster
Even though he’s continually kitted out with the latest and greatest, at heart Bond is a traditionalist – so it would be entirely appropriate for him to step out in a vintage piece. Given his naval background, what better option than this 1957 Omega Replica Seamaster. (Does that lollipop hand look familiar?) Plus it’d go brilliantly with his Aston Martin DB5.

OMEGA Replica Speedmaster “Dark Side of the Moon” wins Revival Watch Prize at the GPHG
The OMEGA Replica Speedmaster “Dark Side of the Moon” chronograph was awarded the Revival Watch Prize at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève 2014 at a ceremony at the Grand Théâtre de Genève on October 31st.
The Revival Watch Prize is, according the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG), presented to the best watch presented in any of the competing categories to feature a contemporary re-edition or reinterpretation of an iconic historical model. Accepting the prize in Geneva was OMEGA Replica Classic‘s president Stephen Urquhart who said, “It is particularly gratifying to accept this incredible recognition for the ‘Dark Side of the Moon’. It honours the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional, of course, but with its blend of ceramic materials and Co-Axial calibre, it has also beautifully introduced the chronograph to a whole new generation.”
The OMEGA “Dark Side of the Moon” is a striking reinterpretation of the iconic Speedmaster Professional “Moonwatch”. It is distinguished by a black ceramic case and dial and is powered by the OMEGA Co-Axial caliber 9300, the first of OMEGA Replica Constellation‘s in-house Co-Axial mechanical movements to incorporate a chronograph function. The watch has two sub-dials instead of the three associated with its famous ancestor. The 12-hour and 60-minute counter hands are placed on the same sub-dial at 3 o’clock allowing for an intuitive reading of the recorded time.
The name of the Speedmaster “Dark Side of the Moon” honours the Apollo 8 astronauts, who in 1968 were the first people to see the far side of the moon with their own eyes. Notably, each was wearing an OMEGA Speedmaster Professional.
