There’s Still Time To Bid On Astronaut Michael Collins’ Gold Luxury UK Replica Omega Speedmaster

For those on the dark side of the moon when it comes to perfect fake Omega Speedmaster collecting, Heritage Auctions is offering something that is both exceedingly collectible, undeniably cool, and incredibly rare – a solid gold commemorative cheap replica Omega Speedmaster given to Gemini 10 and Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins.

You remember Apollo 11, right? It was kind of a big deal. On July 20th, 1969, man first set foot on the moon. Swiss made fake Omega UK marked the achievement with a special run of solid gold Speedmasters. Of the 1014 examples made, the first thirty of the Omega Apollo XI Speedmasters (reference BA145.022) were offered as gifts to those who made the moon landing possible.

Though President Nixon and VP Agnew did not accept the first two in the series, the next 28 were given to NASA astronauts based on their tenure with the administration. Command Module Pilot Michael Collins received #19 and lot 54101 includes not only the watch but also a letter from Collins reading:

The caseback is also personalized to commemorate Collins’ involvement with Gemini 10 and Apollo 11, and the watch comes on its original gold bracelet. All told, the lot, with 14 days left to bid, is currently at $105,000 (at the time of posting). Seeing as special 1:1 replica Omega Speedmasters have been routinely setting new auction records in recent years, we have no idea just how high this will go, but it’s definitely one very precious example that marks the moment when the Omega Speedmaster fake for sale became the Moonwatch.

Many years ago at an high quality fake Omega event with NASA in Houston, I got a chance to experience an original BA145.022 that was owned by, perhaps unsurprisingly, Robert-Jan Broer of Fratello Watches. It immediately became my favorite super clone Omega Speedmaster UK (here it is, with the modern anniversary re-issue) as it’s drop-dead gorgeous, has amazing provenance, and is essentially a watch that functions as a yellow-gold trophy for going to the dang moon. I also happen to have a real soft spot for black dial furniture and yellow gold.

While #1 and #2 are now part of Swiss movement replica Omega‘s museum collection, for my money, I think one given to an astronaut like Michael Collins is all the more cool, especially to both Speedy nerds and those with a passion for past lunar exploration.

Win a Perfect UK Replica OMEGA Speedmaster Date Chronograph

The luxury fake OMEGA Speedmaster UK is one of the most historically significant and instantly recognizable watches in existence. That legacy is in no small part due to the watch being worn into space in 1962 and, shortly afterward, being officially certified by NASA for all manned-missions.

The perfect replica Omega Speedmaster Date Chronograph draws upon the famous Moonwatch’s lineage. But with a smaller 40mm case and different layout featuring a date display, it’s arguably even more versatile as a daily wear. And now, thanks to our friends at Cool Material, you have a chance to win one from Crown and Caliber.

Hands-On Old-School Subtlety With The UK Perfect Replica Omega CK 859

Of the several new models that Swiss fake Omega UK recently previewed in Miami, one reference stood out among the deep-diving Ultra Deep and increasingly colorful Aqua Terras and Speedmasters. It’s the new CK 859, and in a room full of bright and boisterous sports watches, this classically-minded and comparatively demure model managed something remarkable – it stood out because of its subtlety.

Sure, the big divers and vibrant dials will always be the ones to grab headlines, but for those of us with a taste for old-school design, the CK 859 offers a compelling blend of luxury replica Omega‘s past design brilliance and its modern-day watchmaking excellence.

In many ways a re-issue of vintage models within the 1:1 replica Omega CK 859 reference, this new model is hand-wound, 39mm wide with a steel case, 20mm lugs, 30 meters of water resistance, and a lovely 1930s-inspired sector dial that is made from Ag 925 silver. Finished with blued steel hands and an anti-reflective sapphire crystal up front, the luxury fake Omega CK 859 is 11.7mm thick and measures 46.2mm lug-to-lug.

Upsized only slightly from the usual ~37mm sizing of vintage CK 859 examples, the 2022 CK 859 was directly inspired by an Omega replica for sale from 1939 that used a hand-wound case and had a small seconds display. Similarly outfitted, the CK 859 benefits from the light coloring of the silver dial and the no-date execution of the movement.

Speaking of the moment, the CK 859 uses Omega’s caliber 8926, a manually wound movement with a rate of 3.5 Hz, 72 hours of power reserve from dual barrels, a free-sprung balance, and Omega’s Co-Axial escapement. As is common with much of Swiss movement fake Omega‘s current lineup, the 8926 is a METAS-certified Master Chronometer and is capable of withstanding magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss.

The movement is visible through a wide and bright caseback and, thanks to the lack of a winding rotor, we get a pretty good view of the movement architecture and the finishing, which shows rhodium plating and arabesque Geneva waves.

On wrist, the AAA quality replica Omega CK 859 wears as you might expect, inconspicuously and with predictable comfort. It’s casual but in a considered way that leans on the vintage aesthetic without feeling gimmicky or like too much of an affectation. While I would likely opt for a more naturally colored strap or even a leather NATO, the strap and buckle are of usual top copy Omega quality and when matched with the 39 x 46.2mm sizing, the CK 859 wears really nicely on my 7-inch wrist. If you want the tech of a modern high quality replica Omega but would prefer it packaged in a manner most traditional (and tasteful), the CK 859 checks the boxes and then some.

The mix of the brushed lugs and the polished bezel help add some complexity to support the sector dial. In daylight, the silver is warm in coloring and has a very fine matte finish. Thankfully, for a dial that might have otherwise felt rather flat, the sub-seconds display is on an inset subdial that helps to build a sense of depth despite the largely painted dial design.

The hands are a bright blue if turned against available light, but in most cases appear much darker. Regardless, thanks to the light tone of the dial and the sector layout, legibility is excellent and the vibe is entirely old-school, right down to the vintage-inspired dial signature.

Interestingly, while not specifically limited by cheap replica Omega UK, the CK 859 is being produced as a serially numbered edition, in which each example will be individually numbered in the order of manufacturing. The one in these photos? No. 0, baby. Kind of cool.

1:1 replica Omega is retailing the CK 859 for a list price of $6,500, which of course includes the brand’s five-year warranty. This pricing is directly in line with other loosely similar options, like the 39mm JLC Master Control Date (now discontinued, but originally $5,700).

If you want to spend less for a similar look, the Longines Heritage Classic Sector Dial will keep you in the Swatch family for $2,500, but you forgo the silver dial and the Swiss made fake Omega‘s impressive movement, which to my eyes is a huge part of the CK 859’s appeal. If, for whatever reason, you’re inclined to spend more – way more – I’d suggest you hunt down a Patek Philippe 5296G or perhaps take a look at the Vacheron Constantin FiftySix line, which opens around $12,000.

All of that is to say that the CK 859 feels well-placed in the market to appeal to the sort of customer who knows of top quality fake Omega’s lineage and what they’ve come to offer as a modern watch manufacturer. With comfortable proportions suiting a good-looking and versatile design, the CK 859 is a hand-wound take on the vintage charm of best quality replica Omegas past that also reflects all that we’ve come to expect from a modern Omega.

New 2022 Omega MoonSwatch Replica Watches For Sale UK

It seems to get all the attention!
It kind of makes you feel like one of those superheroes a little bit as well. Or at least it makes you feel different in a very positive way. Putting it on isn’t like putting any of my other luxury replica watches on. The velcro strap and its weight, or lack thereof, put you off a bit at first. But, because of its dimensions in combination with the peculiar design, it has a lot of wrist presence. And because of that presence, a lot of people notice the perfect fake Omega UK. The team also found that out at Watches And Wonders last week!

It’s not very often that people have asked me what kind of super clone watch I’m wearing. Maybe it’s because of the kind of watches I wear. But since I’ve been wearing the best 1:1 replica Omega MoonSwatch, even people who have no interest in watches whatsoever have been asking me about the watch on my wrist.

But don’t worry, it’s not an unpleasant kind of attention. Rather, it’s the very joyful and fun kind! People are happily surprised by its design and want to try it on for themselves. The AAA fake Omega MoonSwatch is very attractive and approachable to a lot of people. We already saw that during the weekend of its launch, of course.

One seriously fun watch to wear!
Because of all that hype surrounding the cheap fake Omega MoonSwatch UK, I actually expected it to disappoint me a bit once it sat on my wrist. But no, it’s still just as much fun and frivolous as I hoped it would be. It’s definitely a lot more fun than a few G-Shocks I bought for when I don’t want to wear one of my mechanical replica watches for sale. I got the transparent CasiOak and an all-black square, but I’ve noticed I almost never give them any wrist time. They’re very capable watches, no doubt about it, but I just don’t find them that much fun to wear. In comes the Omega MoonSwatch copy Paypal!

Just like on my Speedy Pro, I’ll probably never use it to time anything. The 3-bar water-resistance rating is close to nothing, and I’ve already heard the crystal will scratch quite quickly. But I’m sure that every time I look at it, the Swiss made fake Omega MoonSwatch will make me smile just as much as when I look at its heavier steel brother. That’s all I’m asking for of a watch I expect to wear only occasionally.

Although, based on this first week, I might actually wear the high quality fake Omega a lot more than I initially thought. It’s that smile on my own and everyone’s faces around me that makes the Mission to Saturn so much fun to wear. And to me, that feeling of overall joy seems like such a great way to pay tribute to the original Speedmaster. In that sense, Swiss movement copy Omega and Swatch really hit this one out of the park.
