The unveiling of the cyclops-clad Sea-Dweller last year arrived as a big surprise, as did the elegant Cellini Moonphase, and we do not doubt that the industry’s biggest “heavy hitter” has more hotness ready to satisfy collectors and fans around the globe. The brand has already been teasing that something new on a jubilee bracelet is on its way in the past few weekends, fueling ample speculation of what direction that might go. After a reasonable amount of debate, we’ve narrowed down a list of the new releases we’re looking forward to seeing this week.
The same way the replica Rolex made enthusiasts wait forever to finally see a ceramic bezel Daytona, the wait for a black and red “Coke bezel” GMT Master II has been longer than many have expected. Currently powered by the 3186 manufacture caliber with a 48h power reserve, recent technical advancements at Rolex would make it logical to see the GMT’s caliber refreshed in 2018. From there the new caliber could easily trickle its way into the much-loved Explorer II, and although this model also hasn’t seen much updating in recent years, it is also one of those “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” sort of best replica watches that we don’t see the Rolex messing with until a new GMT caliber is ready for the market.
Based on Rolex’s teaser clips, a new Datejust 36 with an updated caliber is pretty much a no-brainer at this point. It’s known to all that the fake Rolex intends to update all of its calibers in the coming years, and with the Datejust 41 already under their belt, the 36mm variant is next in line. As much as it would be a very Un-Rolex kind of move to see something like a Submariner or GMT-Master II unveiled on a Jubilee bracelet, we doubt greatly that our speculation on this potential Rolex release is even slightly off the mark.
Last year’s Rolex Cellini Moonphase with pointer date garnered far more attention than most Cellini models ever do, considering the line has long-lived overshadowed by its more iconic siblings. This warm reception continues to fuel speculation that there’s more to come from this underdog collection, not to mention that other more out-of-the-ordinary vintage Rolex models continue to gain traction in the vintage market.
The standard Yacht-Master received an update in 2015 when Rolex revealed it for the first time on its slick Oysterflex Bracelet, but the Yacht-Master II has only seen what could be called minor tweaks with its update last year. Objectively speaking the model is now 11 years old, and is due for some proper change. That is to say, the buy replica Rolex isn’t always that quick to the punch with this sort of thing, so we aren’t entirely sure that this would make it down the pipeline for 2018.
Generally speaking, the latest big releases from Panerai happened to come in the paradoxical form of the brand’s smallest fake watch ever, a simple automatic Luminor that measures 38mm across, and an update at its entry-level Luminor Base Logo. However, if you know something about Panerai, you know the brand always makes a point of presenting a talking piece or two at SIHH. What we have here is a 50mm tourbillon with displays for the equation of time, a second time zone, and, for the first time in a Panerai, the phases of the moon.
Actually, this is not the first time that the replica Panerai watches has combined this tourbillon with an equation of time display. That replica watch was manufactured on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of Galileo’s celestial observations made as a result of the invention of the telescope. The real defining factors of this year’s L’Astronomo are the fact that the movement is now skeletonized and that an interesting moon phase display has been included on the rear side of the movement. The earlier version came with a closed dial and a sky map on its back.
As you can see, it’s a totally modern interpretation of a skeletonized movement, which comes in handy visually because it allows an open look onto the many, and I mean many, displays to be found on this watch’s front and back. The movement alone comprises some 451 components.
The dial of this replica watch – actually “dials” of this replica watch – effectively are the movement, front and back. Beginning from the central axis, we see the hours and the minutes, as well as a GMT hand. Just below the axis is a linear scale that shows the difference between solar time and means solar time, according to the equation of time.
At the same time, the back of the dial is fitted with a twist on the traditional moon phase display. The upper disk is a day/night indicator that performs one rotation every 24 hours and clearly shows the day as a radiant sun and the night as a starry sky.
I’ve never had a wristwatch that’s 50mm in diameter, and to be honest, it’s difficult to imagine someone wearing a cheap replica watch this large regularly. The case material can be customized when ordering this watch, so a lightweight titanium version seems like it would make the most sense, from a purely ergonomic standpoint. But steel and precious-metal options are available for those who might want them. The color of the hands and the choice of the strap are also subject to customization.
You may get a better understanding of this model from other channels, so let’s talk more about this very popular replica watch today. The luxury replica TAG Heuer’s flagship Carrera line, which remains the company’s top-selling collection comes with the Heuer 02 chronograph movement. A lot of readers will remember this automatic column-wheel chronograph with a vertical clutch from the Heritage Autavia Caliber Heuer 02, the watch that resulted from the Autavia Cup competition. In the lead up to Baselworld, the TAG Heuer is announcing a total of 12 – count ’em – new Carreras, most featuring 43mm cases. Besides, there is also a 45mm execution with GMT available.
This is the first time we’ve seen the replica Heuer 02 – a rather amazing automatic column-wheel chronograph movement – powering a Carrera, the flagship watch line from TAG Heuer. That’s if you exclude the fake TAG Heuer Carrera 02T, a tourbillon-equipped version of the chronograph that rocked Baselworld 2016 with its sub CHF 15,000 sticker price. The Heuer 02 caliber is a movement that had a long road to production from the beginning. It first saw life as the Caliber 1969 but was soon rechristened the CH80. This was right around the time that Jean-Claude Biver became CEO of TAG Heuer and paused the project. It debuted in the aforementioned 2018 Autavia Cup winner the replica TAG Heuer Heritage Autavia Caliber Heuer 02 when it was finally deemed the right time for Heuer 02 to enter production, which was the replica TAG Heuer’s highest-profile mechanical watch launch of last year. It’s a nice looking, if somewhat large, sports watch with wonderful vintage styling.
I spent a week with it a few months ago, and I must say I really like time with it.
Well, I trust there must be a huge market for this watch and I doubt it’s to be found from us. This is a 43mm or 45mm open-dialed chronograph whose thoroughly modern styling bears more than a glancing likeness to the Hublot Big Bang, with its futuristic, modular construction. Interesting to note that while the fake TAG Heuer Modular Connected can be disassembled by hand and reconfigured by the owner to have different lugs, say, or a mechanical watch head, this replica tag Heuer for men is modular in the sense that TAG Heuer can easily create variations in the product line by substituting different materials for lugs, case, etc. The wearer cannot play with it in the same way.
Bond has worn a variety of fake watches beyond the Rolex brand since the series’ inception in the 1960s, such as replica Omega. In 1995, Omega managed to secure itself as the official Bond watch of choice. Since we’ve seen some magnificent timepieces grace the silver screen — let’s take a look at some of the fake Omegas that we prefer most.
It was 1995 and Pierce Brosnan was opted to play 007 in GoldenEye. By this time, Hollywood was capitalizing on product placement and Omega saw this their chance to secure their brand alongside the coveted Bond brand of sophistication.
It’s not like Omega which wasn’t already seen as a luxury watch, they just weren’t seen as the Bond watch. Either way, the marketing strategy further cemented their brand identity and bolstered their connections to the British Royal Navy — which in real life, had partnered with the brand often.
Fast forward to 2006 and we have a new man playing Bond once again, this time, Daniel Craig. Along with the new actor came a makeover for the Bond brand — a bit edgier, but still along the lines of styled and refined. The brand reportedly decided to continue with the replica omega watches partnership because while high-end, sharp, and luxurious, it didn’t come with the same high-brow as the fake Rolex and seemed to be a better fit for their new leading role.
The Omega Seamaster 300m chronometer is one of the brand’s best thanks to its ties to the secret agent — but this chronometer watch bolsters a great reputation on its own thanks to a handful of key features.
Then there’s the stunning Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m Co-Axial which he wore in Casino Royale and Skyfall. The Planet Ocean is smaller than what we’re used to seeing on Bond’s wrist with a smaller 42mm case. However, the look is fitting for the refined Bond going for a more understated, but still unique, look. The watch featured in the film has specs like a black dial, steel bracelet, Seamaster written in a stunning orange as well as a second hand with an orange tip, alongside 600-meter water-resistant case, a screw-in crown, transparent case back, unidirectional rotating bezel, and helium escape valve.
That movie prompted cheap replica omega to release a limited edition Skyfall Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m due to booming popularity. The watch also celebrated Omega’s seventh appearance in the Bond films. Only 5,007 of the timepieces were ever launched to the public. What sets it apart from the real model? While we can’t guarantee you’ll be as cool as Bond once you put one of these beauties on, but we can assure you you’ll look just as good.
We have a unique model of the replica Patek Philippe, which is one of the latest ladies’ watches from Baselworld 2018. It’s the first automatic travel watch Patek has made targeted at ladies, but before I lose your attention, this watch is a really good choice for guys too. It’s the same watch as this model but measures 37.5mm instead of 42mm. It’s an acceptable change for those who are in the market for something a bit smaller.
The 7234 comes in 4N rose gold with a brown sunburst dial that complements the gold’s tone perfectly. The size is just comfortable for all and I imagine many other conservative fake watch collectors will also enjoy it. The movement is still the same as what you’d find in the 5524G, the caliber 324 S C FUS. It is an automatic movement that features the Spiromax spring and Gyromax balance. Ben described this movement as “one of the most dynamic and usable calibers in modern horology,” so it’s pretty charming that the fake Patek keeps on using this movement in the ladies’ version of this replica watch rather than downgrading it with a leftover quartz movement. If that sounds cynical, it happens all the time, I am sure what I said is true anyway.
The dial display is the same as the 5524G/R and has the minutes, hours, and third hand to differentiate the second time zone. The subsidiary dial is there for the date, and if you want to know if it is night or day you can check the local and home indicators on either side of the handset. Overall the dial is easy to read and while the numerals aren’t to my particular taste, I appreciate the consistency and tribute to earlier pilot’s replica watches produced by the brand.
On the wrist, this watch fits really well. The size is just so great. And while I know that the 42mm version is more traditional for a pilot’s watch, I can’t help but feel like this watch always should have been 37.5mm. However, having options is never a bad thing and choices for women are important to me on a personal level, so I truly want to show my thanks to Patek for releasing a watch like this as well as the new ladies’ chronograph with the same movement as the previous watches we talked about.
The replica TAG Heuer stated the new Carrera Heuer 02 collection just ahead of this year’s edition of Baselworld, which currently consists of 13 different models in a range of materials and colors. Now, let’s take a deeper look at it.
The new Carrera Heuer 02 symbolizing the 55th anniversary of the iconic Carrera chronograph, first released in 1963 by Heuer. But rather than launching a vintage-inspired model as so many watchmakers tend to do to commemorate milestones, the TAG Heuer replica has instead stuck to a modern chronograph design and outfitted it with a new in-house movement.
As for the designs, Jean-Claude Biver, CEO of TAG Heuer, said: “When it came to designing the new TAG Heuer Carrera, we were faced with an option between a vintage-inspired piece and a modern reworking. We decided on the latter. At TAG Heuer, all of our energy goes into designing the fake watches of the future. We created by anticipating the desires of tomorrow’s consumers.”
Excluding one GMT model with a 45mm case, the new generation Carrera Heuer 02 comes equipped with a 43mm case. Material choices for the case include steel, PVD-coated steel, carbon, ceramic, and gold. What’s more, there’s also a range of straps and bracelets provided in steel, rubber, leather, or ceramic. The modern Carrera keeps its signature bezel with the tachymeter scale.
Owing to its modular construction, various parts of the case, such as the middle section, caseback, lugs, and bezel, can be easily swapped and combined into new configurations—explaining the abundance of variations with one release. Some highlights include a steel and black ceramic version, rose gold and black ceramic version, and a full black ceramic version.
Followers of the Carrera chronograph evolution will find immediately that the subdials on the skeletonized dials have returned to the classic 3/6/9 configuration rather than the 6/9/12 layout we’ve got accustomed to on the Carrera over the last few decades. This is a result of the new in-house Caliber Heuer 02 under the hood.
The Caliber Heuer 02 now finds a new location in the new 2018 Carrera chronographs after making its debut in the Heuer Heritage Autavia released last year,
What’s your idea of the new replica TAG Heuer for men Carrera Heuer 02 collection? Do you appreciate the modern style or do you prefer more vintage-inspired designs? We may talk further next time.
TAG Heuer replica updated their Link watch collection in 2016, a model that has been popular all the time since 1987. Named after the layout of the bracelet with S-shaped links, for 2018, the TAG Heuer watch enhances the collection with new Link Chronograph watches.
Rather than the 6, 9, and 12 o’clock layout of the sub-dials of preceding models running on Caliber 16, the new Link Chronograph has the 3-6-9 layout owing to the automatic Caliber 17 movement driving the watch. Plus the chronograph functionality, there’s also a discreet date window positioned between 4 and 5 o’clock.
The Link Chronograph is currently only available in stainless steel, which is sized at a reasonable 41mm. However, there are two dial colors to choose from—black or blue sunray. A closer look at the new Link Chronograph reveals that the dial layout is different from older generations.
This replica TAG Heuer has been one of the few Swiss watch brands that have fully embraced the smartwatch movement. And we see the commitment enforced yet again this year with the new TAG Heuer Connected Modular 41.
This year’s release is smaller than last year’s Connected Modular 45. The new fake TAG Heuer Connected Modular now sports a 41mm case, along with some improvements over the previous TAG smartwatch. Also developed in collaboration with Google and Intel, the new Connected Modular 41 boasts improved screen resolution, screen brightness, storage space, and RAM.
There are seven standard Connected Modular 41 models to choose from, in addition to nine strap colors and the possibility to customize lugs. The TAG Heuer smartwatch runs on Android Wear, is compatible with Android 4.4 phones and iOS 9, and is water-resistant to 50 meters. Similar to the Connected Modular 45, the latest Connected Modular 41 can be replaced with a Calibre 5 three-hand mechanical module eventually.
As far as the ladies are concerned, the TAG Heuer replica watch has completely redesigned the Formula 1 Lady watch with a new shape, new materials, new dials, and new straps. In fact, for fabulous versatility, the new Formula 1 Lady comes equipped with an easy-to-use interchangeable strap system. With a choice of colorful leather straps or a sporty metal bracelet, wearers can easily change the overall look of the watch in a couple of clicks.
It is available in 32mm or 35mm case sizes, so the new TAG Heuer Formula 1 Lady watches are equipped with stainless steel, stainless steel with diamonds, or steel with black PVD coating.
Rolex had already gained a great reputation for manufacturing wristwatches that could meet the demanding conditions of the ocean. Well, owing to new experiments with saturation diving – a method in which helium is used to replace nitrogen in the air mixture, enabling commercial divers to work at deeper depths and stay down longer – a new type of dive watch was needed, one that could survive the unique rigors of this kind of deep-sea diving.
The manufacture of this fake Rolex Sea-Dweller lasted into the early 1980s, during which time it underwent several minor changes. For the first ten years of its production, Rolex made the Sea-Dweller with both the Submariner and Sea-Dweller names printed in red ink on its dial. These “Double Red Sea-Dweller” watches frequently had their dials replaced by Rolex Service Centers with later-era versions that had all white text and lacked the Submariner name entirely. As a result of this practice, original “Double Red” dials have become quite rare and valuable among collectors today.
The extended periods of time spent in pressurized chambers would force helium molecules into the cases of the divers’ watches. Upon decompression, the trapped helium would expand, often generating enough force to cause the crystals to pop off their replica watches. The Rolex’s solution to this problem was the Sea-Dweller, which incorporated a gas release valve into the side of the case, allowing trapped helium to safely exit the watch during decompression. Although several early prototype Sea-Dweller watches were manufactured, the Rolex Sea-Dweller made its official debut.
Even though it is not necessary to track down a Double Red Sea-Dweller, it has become much harder to find one with its original dial still in pristine, unaltered condition. This special Double Red Sea-Dweller has succeeded to survive all these years without its dial sustaining any inadvertent damage from bent hands, moisture intrusion, or careless watchmakers. Besides, the tritium hour markers have developed a rich, patina, which only adds to this watch’s well-preserved, unmistakably vintage aesthetic.
The Double Red Sea-Dweller was the first commercially available iteration of Rolex’s most capable line of professional sports watches and marked a lot of firsts – both for the Rolex brand and the dive watch industry as a whole. It has made the replica Rolex Double Red Sea-Dweller a true classic and a common target for serious collectors looking to own an iconic piece with its rich history, timeless design, and unmistakably vintage aesthetic.
Omega launched a large number of new Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M models last year, which offered easy-to-miss, albeit important changes to the brand’s premier sports lifestyle dres’s watch. Sport-style dres’ fake watches are important in many markets such as the USA, where elegance, as well as masculinity, are the main factors of interest for many consumers. Let’s take a close look at just one of some versions of the updated Aqua Terra timepieces here.
While some of us think of hardcore dive replica watches when they consider the replica Omega Seamaster collection, the more casually-themed Aqua Terra better represents the first Omega Seamaster watches. At the time the Seamaster wasn’t a serious sport watch, but was rather a sportier dres’ watch that a “well to do father could wear while playing with his children and not worry about getting wear or experiencing some shock.” Therefore, from the beginning, the Seamaster was a luxury lifestyle item and not the serious diving instrument that versions of the Seamaster later evolved into.
As a sportier timepiece, the Seamaster Aqua Terra will easily handle most of what a wearer could throw at it. 150m of water resistance easily allows for even recreational diving, and the chunky metal case is robust enough to put up with its share of abuse and wear. The dial also happens to be highly legible, with enough lume for a clear view in darker environments. Generally speaking, the Seamaster Aqua Terra is a very capable sport watch though it intends to be a status-symbol dres’s watch at what are almost entry-level prices from the brand.
However, lots of people admire Omega for Speedmaster chronographs and Planet Ocean divers, models such as the Aqua Terra and other models are those which Omega intends for the wrists of professionals needing a handsome timepiece for urban or business professional needs. It’s supposed to be just sporty enough to suggest an active lifestyle (or an appreciation thereof), but with an elegance that lends itself well to more formal attire.
The interesting thing is that the fake tag Heuer’s latest marketing for the Aqua Terra sees its wearers (some of which are the brand’s celebrity ambassadors) on boats, traveling, and generally doing things one might not consider work, but rather leisure. This lends itself well to attractive visuals, but the replica Omega’s point is more that people who wear Aqua Terra watches regularly reward themselves for working hard – and this makes the Aqua Terra a timepiece for hard-working professionals.
The Omega replica has long since wanted the Aqua Terra to rival some of Rolex’s similar sporty/dressy timepieces ranging from the Milgauss to the Datejust. Today the Aqua Terra is more directly a competitor of the Milgauss – even though Omega is clearly more prolific with its design choices and even has different size options.
Three sporty Ayrton Senna particular replica watches from TAG Heuer, this year, were stated to mark 30 years since the champion race car driver won the Monaco Grand Prix for the first time in 1987. The important things are the watches themselves, which are amazing-looking with a mix of different design touches, in addition to the more explicit Senna logo branding. The TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer-01 Ayrton Senna Special Edition leads the pack, showing an evolving look for the still young Heuer-01, and the quartz Formula 1 Ayrton Senna Special Edition models give more affordable choices in three-hand and chronograph versions.
Let’s talk about the new watches. These three new TAG Heuer replicas come with some elements, like black PVD-coated cases and generous applications of red. While not always the case for co-branded watches, those attracted to the overall look will also need to be pretty ardent Senna fans as his logo and/or name appears on the dial, bezel, and case-back of all the watches.
Beginning with the TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer-01 Ayrton Senna, this shows that the recently introduced Heuer-01 is a growing collection with a fluid style and identity. While there is continuity with past replica Tag Heuer-01 models in the skeletonized dial and thick ceramic bezel, the angular case and lugs of the Heuer-01 (as reviewed here in an early form) have been rounded off significantly.
The long, angular lugs are a defining Carrera feature, I think, and the change here was likely essential to accommodate the curvy Link-style bracelet – which is important. It is crucial because this look is closely associated with Senna, and you’ll find it in some form or another in the various fake TAG Heuer Ayrton Senna watches. Like the case, it is brushed, black PVD-coated steel, and this Link bracelet – with more angular edges than the old Link watches had – looks attractive and cool. It is interesting how multiple well-known elements from different TAG Heuer watches have come together without feeling like a collage.
With the introduction of a version in ceramic, as well as a welcome 43mm version of the TAG Heuer Heuer-01, it kind of makes me think we could have had a 43mm version in black ceramic, which would have been cool. On the contrary, we are back up to a formidable 45mm in black PVD-coated, brushed steel (water-resistant to 100m).
The fake TAG Heuer Formula 1 Ayrton Senna Special Edition watches are both 43mm wide and feature a minute track on the brushed steel bezels. No “S-link” steel bracelet here, but they come with black and red rubber straps that mimic that look. You will find the Senna logo again on the steel case-backs.
