When Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins blasted off from Kennedy Space Center in 1969 to start their trip to land the first humans on the Moon, the three astronauts were decorated with NASA-issued Omega Speedmaster Professional chronographs.
Decades ago, Neil Armstrong became the first person to step onto the lunar surface, quickly followed by Buzz Aldrin – Michael Collins flew the Command Module Columbia alone in lunar orbit while his two crew members were on the lunar surface. And when Buzz Aldrin stepped onto the Moon, he had his Omega Speedmaster Professional strapped to the exterior of his spacesuit. Ever since then, the Speedmaster became known around the world as the “Moonwatch.”
However, since the Speedmaster is now such a varied collection of different watches, the models famous as replica watches are the direct descendants of the watches worn by the Apollo 11 astronauts. Like their predecessors, the modern Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch models are stainless steel chronographs with 42mm cases, black tachymeter bezels, black dials, and hand-wound movements. The cases of the Moonwatch professionals are asymmetric, featured by twisted lugs and crown guards.
Today, Omega gives the option of Hesalite crystals or modern scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, along with the chance of a matching steel bracelet or black leather strap. Moreover, those rolex replica watch models with sapphire crystals on the dial-side also have sapphire on the display caseback for a view of the movement inside. Current production Moonwatches run on Caliber 1861, which is distinguished from the original Caliber 321 that powered the original Speedmaster Professional watches that went to the moon.
We will find a quick rundown of the main design specs between the Speedmaster Professional fake watch vs. Speedmaster ’57 next time. These specs apply to the regular-production models and not the unique limited-edition versions.

Luxury Replica Omega’s Iconic Modern Dive Watch’s Story
It seems that the replica Planet Ocean has been around for as long as many of us have been watch fans and enthusiasts, as a major model in the Omega line that fits in as comfortably as the Speedmaster. In this article I am going to go through the evolution of the Planet Ocean watch and track the different models, main milestones, and short but robust history of this replica amazing dive watch.
However, the Planet Ocean came rather late in modern Omega history. The Seamaster Professional arrived in 1993 and was the watch first used in Omega’s second-greatest marketing feat.
Sometimes, I find myself frustrated with the historical baggage so many watches I love are saddled with. What I mean by “baggage” can mean many aspects: unwillingness to innovate due to a romanticized view of a piece’s history; watches concentrated on anniversaries or years commemorating landmarks; ad nauseam mention of iconic “effortlessly cool” celebrities who wore a watch 50 years ago. I love that the Planet Ocean line has to deal with none of this and can proudly present itself as a genuinely modern dive watch offering. It’s apparently significant to note that that my points above are restricted to the Plant Ocean, not Omega as a whole because that’s a completely different conversation altogether.
The replica Omega invented the Planet Ocean to be a contemporary luxury dive watch that would compete with the “tried and true” comparable offerings like the elegant replica Rolex Submariner. It’s also worth noting that the Seamaster line overall has always been intended as more of a luxury piece in the body of a solid tool watch instead of a tool watch that finally found its way on the wrists of well-heeled watch fans.
The Planet Ocean was the first diver Omega outfitted with their calibre 2500 movement that featured a co-axial escapement, and it came in three variations when it was released. The first Planet Oceans came in either 42mm or 45.5mm, with a black or orange bezel. The color orange is the unofficial color of the Planet Ocean line, claimed to be one of the most visible colors underwater, but I have a feeling the aesthetic stamp was alluring to the replica Omega as well.
The first generation of Planet Ocean fake watches featured the aluminum bezel, about 1/3 of which was the untreated inner ring with the outer 2/3 being done in either black or orange. The 120-click coin edged unidirectional bezel is one of the aesthetic markers and tactile standouts of the Planet Ocean line, joined with the signature helium escape valve at 10 o’clock which has carried through into every Planet Ocean watch. It’s a somewhat vestigial addition that can be about as divisive a characteristic as date windows, and personally I would like the choice to not have a helium escape valve.
We still have many other different models to share with you, let’s talk next time, you will benefit a lot.
In-depth: OMEGA BOND SPECIAL, what’s will the next one?
Sure, as you may know that he’s been faithful to the Seamaster since Goldfinger, however 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 credits have hardly finished rolling on Spectre and already what are we thinking about is the near future. Will Daniel Craig pick up the replica Walther PPK one final time, and if not him, then who? (Opinion in the office is separated between Tom Hardy and Idris Elba, by the way.) However, more crucial even than the man himself is the timepiece he wears. There would be doubt that, though it’ll be Omega -however which one?
Bond attends a large number of big events, such as black tie events, casinos, gala openings, secret cabalistic meetings – you know, the usual. While dressy, it’s not fussily so, especially in the steel model with tungsten carbide bezel, which would defend itself well against dings or scratches caused by hapless henchmen. These occasions can degenerate into brawls and/or gun fights without a moment’s attention, which necessitates a watch that works just as well with a bow tie as it does a submachine gun, quite tricky. Our advice would be the Globemaster.
The odds are good that Bond will have future run-ins with sharks (perhaps equipped with lasers). In this case, since the underwater struggle is going to be inevitable, 007 could do a lot worse than replica Omega’s deep diving PloProf. In one hand, the new version is made of titanium which won’t weigh him down. At the same time, Q branch would have a field day with this thing. Just look at that giant, however, ton, just screaming ‘blow something up’.
Bond’s adventures have always followed geo-political trends – from Cold War Connery to Craig’s realist post-9/11 spy. Concerning this precedent along with our current real-world renewed interest in space, it’s not improbable that Bond will again venture into the final boundary – possibly a Martian mission is being hi-jacked, or a super-villain is plundering the resources of the moon for nefarious purposes. No matter what scenario, there’s no doubt the watch on his wrist should be Omega’s next generation moon watch. The feature packed digital Speedmaster X-33.
He might be a secret agent, however he’s always preferred the straight method, and he’s far more probable to confidently walk direct into the jaws of danger than ninja his way into a lair. Besides, it might not look pretty at first sight, but deep-down it’s beautiful.However, if he ever needed to swap the tailored dinner jacket for more tactical gear, this blacked-out ceramic Speedmaster would provide maximum stealthiness.
Although in recent movies and occasions, he tends to wear something new and modern, it can be certain that at his heart, there will always be a place for something classical and tradition. Thus, it can be broadcasted that it would be entirely appropriate for him to step out in a vintage piece. Concerning his naval background, is there any better option than this 1957 Omega Seamaster replica watches. (Does that lollipop hand look familiar?) Plus it’d go brilliantly with his Aston Martin DB5.
PHOTO Review of Replica Omega Globe-master
The only misfit is the closing system, but it’s such a minor details no one will notice. Even though dress watches aren’t my favorite ones, this Omega has changed my view on them. It’s the perfect combination between an elegant watches and masculinity. I’m very happy with the way this replica Omega Globemaster looks. It looks just like the original version. The numerals are represented by stylised lines and the dial also features a date section.
The Co-Axial Globemaster was inspired by the Omega Constellation watches. The Globemaster was launched in 2015, and it caused a stir at Baselword. The dial features three different fonts. The design reminiscences some of the most famous Constellation models. It has a formal style combined with a sporty feel, probably given by the fluted bezel.This includes the small star you can see on the dial, as well as the fronts, the fluted bezel, and the designs of the hands, inspired by the models from the 1960s. The authentic one features a clasp. Luckily, once it’s secured on my hand, it’s not even something noticeable.
This watch is one of the nicer dress Omega replica watches. The design of the replica Omega Globemaster Co-Axial Master Chronometer is inspired by the one of some Constellation watches. The pie-pan dial is an interesting detail. That means that the dial is not flat, and it’s similar to the bottom of a pie pan. It certainly is a vintage feature. What I really like about this watch is the finishing. The leather strap feels nice, and it balances the case, which by the way it’s a bit bigger than I thought. It’s mostly brushed, but it also combines with polished elements. On the side opposite the crown, you can notice that a large portion of brushed steel melts in the polished details.
The dial looks very clean symmetrical dial. This watch comes with both a leather strap and a bracelet. I chose the leather strap version because it looks dressier and that’s what I was looking for. But that’s something that makes me like it more. One thing that’s not identical to the original Co-Axial is the strap closing mechanism. Overall, this replica watch has a nice feel. This Omega watch features Japanese automatic movements. That means that, instead of functioning on battery power, the mechanical movements rely on winding a spring, the ‘mainspring’. When you move your watch, the spring creates and transfers energy through other springs. This is how the watch is powered. Many have said that it’s similar to a Rolex design, but Omega has used the fluted bezel before, on other watches. The good thing about that is that you won’t need to worry about replacing the battery like in the case of the Quartz powered watches. If you take good care of it, it can last for a long time. It’s thinner than most of my watches and definitely a different look. It feels like it has a good weight and it has a nice look. This watch keeps a good time, and I didn’t notice it gaining more than 10 seconds in the past few days since I have it.
Some of the most famous collections include the Speedmaster, Seamaster and Constellation. I must say that I didn’t expect to like this style so much. I’m more into big watches that have a masculine. Omega one of the best-known luxury watch brands. Its popularity even crossed the space borders. My collection of watches includes many bigger sized models that have a casual look. That’s why I had to add a more elegant design and this one is just right. I had to choose from a Rolex Cellini and this Omega. I chose the Co-axial replica watches in the end. I found it more suitable for my style.
Replica Omega Globemaster review
In the lineup of all-time great dive watches, the Omega Globemaster from 1957 has a special place for many vintage collectors, with most comparing it (favorably) to the original Rolex Submariner models.
It gives us hope that there is an objective, nearly empirical quality to our hobby that we can point to. Or it gives us an appreciated memory of recognition: remember that time that person noticed? Even more extraordinary, who give me this compliment is my 20 year-old daughter when we were having dinner together. Allow me to repeat that: a twenty something stood up and took attention of a watch I was wearing. Notably digital and analogue-oblivious, the smart phone generation is supposed to represent a demographic end of the line for wristwatches, but I now have hope.
The watch is a technical tour de force and, legitimately, deserves the ground breaking designation for its movement but after costing some time with it, I found its aesthetics were what left a more powerful and solid impression on me. What grabbed her attention was the new replica Omega Globemaster I have been test-driving over the past week.
There are 8 tests the movement and the replica rolex watches are put through as part of the certification process. With the official announcement last week of the Globemaster’s release, the watch world has been regularly and correctly talking up Omega’s calibre 8900, which empowers the watch. In the late of last year, Omega released publicly a new certification in partnership with METAS (the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology) which disseminates Swiss official time and certifies a range of instruments from those measuring force and pressure to radiation in nuclear medicine. The testing criteria are also important because they scrutinize the watch holistically; not just as a movement but, rather, as something you actually wear on your wrist.
What does this new standard mean for consumers? During the press conference Nick Hayek, Swatch Group’s CEO – in addition to praising the technical excellence the Master Chronometer standard reflects – stressed its significance as a method of measuring trust. Trust, here, may have wider meaning. It not only mean the trust between the consumer and the manufacture (in this case Omega), but also between the consumer and METAS, and more broadly between the consumer and the Swiss replica watches manufactures. In-house seals and certifications are, no matter how rigorous, still matters of faith unless the technical standards they represent can be independently verified. This certification establishes that trust through a respected third party.
They can also decide the quality of your alcohol as an added bonus. The certification process, which Omega uses to augment COSC, results in the designation Master Chronometer and the new Globemaster is the initial watch to achieve this rating. Other competitors, such as Patek Phillipe and Jaeger Lecoultre, have innovated their own certifications of quality, however, Omega’s relationship with METAS is an open standard; any producer could hand in their watches for certification though few (today) would be able to meet the standard.
However, all that detail is beside the point. The point is immediately clear when you look at this watch. It’s a beast. And while such a brash and bold timepiece might not be your flavor. It’s a watch that just oozes badass-ness.
