The First AAA replica Omega UK In Space is one of our all-time favorite Speedmasters, and that’s saying something considering how many iconic references have existed within this range. Originally launched in 2012 (and only recently discontinued), it pays tribute to theperfect fake Omega Ref. CK2998 worn by Astronaut Wally Schirra on the Mercury-Atlas 8 Mission. The design is very close to the more popular and iconic Moonwatch, but with subtle differences that cause it to stand out, such as the smaller case size and more dressy alpha hands. It’s a deep cut revival that became a classic.
Whether you’re a die-hard 1:1 fake Omega Speedmaster fan who already owns a few pieces or you are looking for an interesting and slightly off-beat entry point into Speedy, the FOIS is an example well worth experiencing. And hey, they’re not making any more of them.
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.
As the 2022 Beijing Games conclude, we have witnessed new ways of marking speed and accuracy in traditional events as well as first-time programs, such as mixed-team snowboard cross and women’s monobob. But back in 2019, to commemorate its longstanding relationship with the games, luxury fake Omega UK introduced the Olympic Timeless collection, a series of Olympics-themed watches meant to celebrate the Games as a whole and weren’t tied to any one specific host city.
For example, this AAA replica Omega Olympic Timeless Speedy signaled a fresh way to display its Olympics spirit by configuring the watch’s 30-minute and 12-hour recorders, a 7-day totalizer, a small seconds dial, and a day indicator into the form of the five Olympic rings. This Swiss made fake Omega also features a black dial with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Also notable is the bezel, with its tachymetric scale, mounted on a large 44.25mm stainless steel case with a matching bracelet. This 1:1 super clone Omega is powered by the Co-Axial Calibre 3888.
The best fake Omega Speedmaster Professional 145.012-67SP that once belonged to Ralph Ellison was offered as Lot 138 on the Phillips auction on December 12th. Interestingly, it had an estimate of just $10,000 to $20,000. Now, I never understand these estimates or the purpose of them. A regular 145.012 in good condition would already fetch that amount.
But this Swiss made replica Omega both belonged to and sat on the wrist of a renowned and influential American writer. Not only that, but it also had provenance to back it up. Before the watch went to auction, and even before the former owner had certainty about the previous life of this particular Omega Speedmaster fake for sale, it was serviced and received new (period-correct) pushers.
Why did it sell for such a high price? For me, it is difficult to grasp why this best quality replica Omega fetched the amount of $667,800. I do get that the author was very famous and that his novel was one of great literary importance. But it is still difficult to comprehend how far someone is willing to go to actually own such a timepiece. I completely blame myself for not fully understanding this, as I’m also unaware of the effect of this novel on people, or just how much praise Ellison received for it. So, who better to ask than Petros Protopapas, the Head of Brand Heritage at luxury copy Omega in Switzerland?
Completing the puzzle The sale of this special AAA replica Omega Speedmaster Pro 145.012-67 that was worn by Ralph Ellison shows once more that heritage and storytelling are very valuable. Real stories, that is. I can imagine how satisfying it must have been to complete the story around this watch and its previous ownership. It’s a puzzle that was completed with the help of other 1:1 fake Omega watch enthusiasts and collectors. In this case, the definitive answer came from insurance papers that were stored in a box filled with documents and photos at the Library of Congress (LOC) Photo Archives.
