Next up is another watch with the name “White” – though not for the same reason. This is the perfect replica Omega Speedmaster “Ed White” that was famously reissued in 2020, and comes with the legendary 321 movement. It is affixed to a flatlink bracelet and represents the best in re-editions and the best in large brands taking a bespoke approach to watchmaking.
That is because each 321 Ed White Speedy is worked on by a single watchmaker, resulting in a much lower production run than a standard luxury fake Omega Moonwatch. The result is akin to holding a vintage super clone watch in your hand but without any of the stress vintage brings. We couldn’t be more excited to offer this one today.
Space research is accelerating towards new horizons, fuelling the public’s fascination with the cosmos, and perfect replica Omega’s iconic aerospace affiliation is no different. In 1968, each of the crewmen of Apollo 8 were equipped with an aaa quality fake Omega Speedmaster when they completed the first lunar orbit mission. Fifty years later in 2018, the brand celebrated its enduring connection with space by releasing a special anniversary timepiece to commemorate the mission.
Although 2024 is not a significant birthday for the watchmaker, the 50th-anniversary timepiece has just been given an exciting upgrade. Known as the cheap fake Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8, the watch now has a brand-new METAS-certified movement, which means it offers the highest level of precision, chronometric performance and magnetic resistance according to Swiss industry standards.
The addition of a small second hand at nine o’clock, shaped like Nasa’s famous Saturn V rocket, has charmed Swiss movement replica Omega fans and space enthusiasts alike. Crafted from titanium, it’s incredibly detailed despite its tiny size. In fact, this feature is so innovative that it’s ‘patent pending’, making this horological edition truly futuristic and therefore highly collectible.
Yes, I know, it’s another Speedmaster, but the Speedmaster is the watch that started it all for me, and it’s the model that I collect. Swiss made replica Omega introduced the modern Speedmaster Calibre 321 in early 2020, and I simply had to have it. The reintroduction of the famous 321 movement took place one year earlier, in 2019, in the Speedmaster Professional in platinum, but that was a bridge too far for me. The steel 1:1 fake Omega Speedmaster Calibre 321, however, ticks many of my boxes and is incredibly true to the original straight-lug Speedmaster from the 1960s.
Sapphire and ceramic At first, I was slightly disappointed that it didn’t have a Hesalite crystal and aluminum bezel insert, but the modern sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel insert make it a great companion for everyday wear. Also, if it had an acrylic crystal and aluminum bezel, it would be perhaps too much of a copy of the original 105.003. After all, if you want a perfect replica Omega 105.003, you will probably buy one.
The fact that luxury super clone OmegaUK has a separate atelier for the production of the Speedmaster Calibre 321, where one watchmaker (per watch) takes care of the double assembly of the movement and watch, makes it even more special. The other watches that get a similar treatment are the Central Tourbillon and Chrono Chime. All other aaa quality Omega replica watches are manufactured and assembled using the brand’s more industrialized production process.
The Speedmaster Calibre 321, with its 39.7mm case, is the only steel watch in this hypothetical five-watch collection. Rest assured, though, that the number of steel watches in my real collection is much, much greater than the number of high quality replica watches in precious metal. Although the price of this watch is high (€17,100 currently) and the waiting list is long, it’s the perfect tribute to the Speedmaster. If this watch were not in my collection, this spot would have been reserved for the standard top super clone Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch.
Tough competition As a watch, I do appreciate the fake Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute B02 quite a bit. I like the 24-hour layout on the dial, the syringe hands, and the very elegant bezel. And I even like how Breitling redid the model for last year’s anniversary, except for that date at 6 o’clock, of course. But otherwise, it still very much has the vibes that the original had back in 1962. I do prefer the way the perfect fake Omega Speedmaster wears on the wrist, though. Yes, it might be 1mm wider, but because of the lugs’ dramatically sloping facets and the external bezel, it definitely wears smaller than the Cosmonaute.
I also much prefer the bracelet on the luxury fake Omega Speedmaster, especially when we’re talking about the current versions of both these watches. The one for the B02 Cosmonaute is the typical brushed/polished “slanted” seven-row bracelet that comes with a lot of Breitling watches. It’s just a little too clunky and shiny for my taste. Then again, it’s up against one of the best bracelets currently available on a sports watch. The designers at cheap super clone Omega really went the extra mile on the new Speedmaster bracelet
A sports watch versus a space watch One big difference between these two watches is that the Cosmonaute was specifically designed to be worn during spaceflight. The Omega Speedmaster replica for men, on the other hand, was introduced as a sports/racing chronograph to emphasize Omega’s role as the official timekeeper for the Olympic Games in 1957. I think it’s quite badass that a watch that was incidentally on the wrist of a few astronauts became one of NASA’s officially certified instruments. It somehow won that race against a watch that was specifically designed to go into space.
And even though I like what the Breitling designers did with the 2022 Cosmonaute re-edition, I think the aaa quality fake Omega Speedmaster wins this battle in terms of design. In particular, the current Omega Speedmaster replica online is such a nice reiteration. And what I really appreciate is that you can choose between versions with either a Hesalite or sapphire crystal. The whole point of buying such a space-inspired watch is the fact that a similar watch went to space. In that case, buying it with a Hesalite crystal makes a lot of sense. That’s why I think it’s a shame Breitling doesn’t offer that option.
To conclude the nitpicking, I’d like to point out that the Cosmonaute is only water/pressure resistant to an equivalent of 30 meters. The Swiss movement fake Omega Speedmaster is rated to 50 meters, which isn’t the most impressive spec on a sports watch either. However, I’d be more comfortable bringing the high quality replica Omega Speedmaster near some water than I would with the Cosmonaute.
