The fun and comfort of a moon-watch are to return to your childhood home years or decades later, having endured the trials and tribulations of adulthood, to find your bedroom just as it was before, even with a well-worn Steiff bear on a faded countertop.
So changing any detail of the Moonwatch has the potential to cause the same reaction in Speedmaster loyalists as if you were moving a deer’s favorite salt stain. But change is exactly what happens with the Moonwatch.
Visually, the changes are relatively minor, and the biggest change is probably the bracelet, not the replica watch itself. In fact, the new bracelet probably gets as much attention as the changes to the dial and bezel. The biggest change is under the hood, where we find a new movement: the Co-Axial caliber 3861, which is Master Chronometer certified, making the Moonwatch a thoroughly modern member of Omega’s Co-Axial escapement watch family.
But the gap between the press release photos and the actual, hands-on first impressions can be huge, and I was worried about all sorts of things. Would it feel too vintage for its own good? God forbid, would it be out of touch with the glorious history of manned space flight, which is what distinguished previous lunar watches? In short, would it feel like an impostor rather than a legitimate heir to the throne?
We all know that a new bracelet or a new strap can make quite a difference to your experience of a replica omega watch. The new Master Chronometer bracelet improves on a point that I loved unreservedly about my previous Moonwatch watch. The bracelet on that watch was nice and well made, but it didn’t quite live up to the hype.
But is that really a problem? For comparison, take a look at the writing instruments used in space. The Fisher Space Pen, which uses a nitrogen-filled refill to maintain ink pressure, was developed for crewed space flights; there’s a joke that NASA spent millions of dollars developing it while the frugal Soviets stuck with pencils. This myth was repeatedly debunked, and it turns out that both the Soviets and NASA quickly got rid of pencils because the particles of graphite and wood chips were potentially undesirable contaminants. I can imagine that a shattered sapphire crystal could pose a similar hazard – although replica watches with sapphire crystals have been worn on crewed missions, so apparently, NASA isn’t superb at this point.
In any case, the new bracelet is really impressive. At least at first glance, you get the sense that if someone is a Speedmaster fan and doesn’t know that the Master Chronometer version has been released, and they see this watch on your wrist, their first reaction might not be “Hey, where did you get that new Speedmaster?” Instead, it’s “Wow, where did you get that bracelet?”

A sporty and elegant watch, it’s a great choice to wear on a stylish beach. And the alarm function ensures those night owls won’t forget their evening date. Jaeger-LeCoultre’s original watch, which debuted in 1965, also had an underwater alarm function. Three years later, a variant with a sporty design debuted. It was the inspiration for a new replica watch launched in 2018.
The Navitimer enjoys a cult status not only among pilots but also among its counterparts on Earth. Launched in 1952, the watch also represents an era in which growing air travel revolutionized travel. Numerous new versions without a slide rule or even a stopwatch function on the bezel debuted in 2018. But classic variants with both of these functions, such as the Navitimer 1 B01 Chronograph 46 (pictured), are still available for Breitling fans.
Thanks to the additional 24-hour hand and its corresponding rotating bezel, this Rolex model is the epitome of a traveler’s watch. The main hour hand was not individually adjusted until the GMT-Master II debuted in 1982. When the original model debuted in 1955, the two-hour hands were inseparable, which meant that if the wearer wanted the watch to show the time in the second zone, he had to turn the rotatable bezel until it matched the additional hour hand. Nicknamed the “Pepsi,” this coveted steel version with a blue-red bezel celebrates a comeback in 2018.
The shape of this instrument designed for professional divers can be traced directly back to the 1969 Oyster Prince Submariner, which pioneered the so-called “snowflake” hands, whose striking rectangular design ensures that the hour hand cannot be mistaken for a minute hand. Meanwhile, the luminous rectangle on the second hand advances steadily, giving the diver immediate assurance that his watch is still running in the dark depths. The Pelagos remains water-resistant to 500 meters, is equipped with a helium valve, and gives the diver a choice between a rubber strap and a titanium bracelet.
Rolex is clearly the most well-known of the world’s luxury watch brands. Even if you’ve never heard about replica Omega or Breitling, or even Patek Philippe, you’ve heard of it. Essentially, Rolex has two types of customers – those who know a lot about it and those who know very little about it. For them, the primary motivation is that if you’re going to wear a watch, it has to be a fake Rolex. That’s a huge compliment to the manufacturer – because if someone who knows nothing about watches also sees a particular brand as “number one”, then the company is doing something right.

Omega is one of the world’s oldest and most famous watchmakers, dating back to 1848. Like Rolex, omega replica watches are getting more and more expensive; however, unlike Rolex, a budget of $5,000 opens the doors to a huge range of choices, including the legendary Omega Speedmaster – particularly when shopping on the second-hand market.
There’s no doubt that the most famous Omega watch is the classic Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, which is famous throughout the world as the first watch worn on the moon. Flight-certified by NASA, and offering a timeless aesthetic that has hardly changed in half a century, the Omega Speedmaster is widely regarded as one of the great mechanical chronograph watches available, and a true necessity for any serious watch collector.
A brand-new Omega Speedmaster will cost a bit more than $5k and certain rare vintage models can top out into the six-figure range when they sell at auction. Nevertheless, pre-owned examples (both vintage and modern) can easily be found well under budget on the secondary market. Besides, alongside the original NASA-certified model, there are countless other versions of Omega’s iconic chronograph that have been produced over the years, with many selling for less than $5,000.
The Omega Seamaster collection is a remarkably diverse assortment of timepieces that range from professional dive watches to vintage-inspired dress watches and chronographs. Even though the Seamaster name is one of Omega’s oldest and previously only applied to a vast variety of water-resistant replica watches, the modern Omega Seamaster collection (at least as it exists today) is largely occupied by dive watches.
The Planet Ocean sub-collection is part of the perfect Seamaster family and it is Omega’s line of ultra-capable professional dive watches. With that in mind, there are also other cheap replica watches in the Omega Seamaster collection that are not Planet Ocean models, such as the Omega Seamaster Diver 300m, which gives users all the features of a professional dive watch – including even a helium escape valve for saturation diving – but wrapped up in a slimmer and more refined overall package for a highly versatile package on the wrist.
The Omega Seamaster Diver 300m was made famous as the watch of James Bond during the 007 films from the 1990s, and it remains a popular favorite among collectors to this day. In the secondary market, even the Omega Starfish diver inserts 30 billion models of ceramic dials and bezels can be bought for less than $4K, making it the best all-around watch from any manufacturer’s money.

Omega is one of the most respected and iconic luxury watch brands on the market. The brand’s extensive catalog includes watches linked to the 007 James Bond franchise and even some that have been to the Moon. Despite their high reputation, their timepieces are still relatively easy to buy and appeal to collectors and people on different budgets. This guide will analyze some of the best omega replica watches under $10,000 and what makes them worth buying.
Many people are familiar with the Speedmaster Professional because it was the first watch on the Moon. It’s a title that’s hard to beat, which is why Speedmaster is a coveted item in retail and on the second-hand market for all kinds of second-hand Omega watches. If you are looking for an updated model while also respecting the original design, the Speedmaster went to the moon, 311.30.42.30.01.005 might appeal to you.
This version runs the Caliber 1861 hand-wound movement, which is a direct descendant of the version that went to the moon. It also features a similar black dial with glowing markings on the top and hands and a similar elongated bezel. Unlike many modern Omega watches, this one features a Hercelite crystal rather than a sapphire, which definitely adds a retro look and feel while offering all the benefits of a modern watch. Although the case and bracelet are presented in all-steel, the ref. 311.30.42.30.01.005 is anything but ordinary, with its beautiful bevel, satin finish, and highly polished trim.
If you’re looking for an antique Omega watch, you might like the Speedmaster Professional Mark II ref. 145.014. Experienced and novice collectors alike will be pleased with the value and history of the watch, which began in 1969， right on the heels of the original Moonwatch’s fame. Unlike its more well-known cousin, the Speedmaster features a tachometer ring on the bottom of the flat crystal and an intriguing tonneau-shaped case.
Compared to the classic monthly watch, the MKII is more affordable and attractive in terms of unique design and price. There are also a number of dials to choose from, including the sportier “racing” dial along with a version that more closely mirrors the classic Moonwatch dial. Some attribute the proliferation of cushion-shaped boxes in the 1970s to the professional version of speed post. If this retro design aesthetic appeals to you, the vintage Speedmaster MKII ref. 145.014 might be the perfect watch for your wrist.
Another intriguing version of the Omega Speedmaster Professional is a unique take on the iconic Moonwatch. Ref. 311.92.44.51.01.003 — aka “Dark Side of the Moon” — is named for its striking all-black feature set, which includes a black ceramic case, a matching black ceramic dial, and a polished black ceramic bezel. Luminous markers and a contrasting speedometer scale provide clarity while referencing the aesthetics of the steel’s original Speedmaster Moonwatch.
Instead of the original manual wind drive, the new self-winding Co-Axial Caliber 9300 has a 60-hour power reserve. A special engraving on the back of the case reads “the dark side of the moon,” which helps further differentiate it from other omega Speedmaster watches.
With its teak-inspired dial and water resistance of 150 meters, the Seamaster Aqua Terra is every bit the seafaring timepiece. However, as its “Aqua Terra” name suggests, it is also suitable for use on land, making it a very popular choice for anyone who wants a multi-functional luxury watch. The collection comes in two shades, stainless steel, rose gold, and yellow gold.
Depending on the specific reference, the Omega Aqua Terra watch can be found with metal bracelets, rubber bands, leather bands, or nylon NATO straps. The leather stainless steel ref. 231.10.42.21.01.003 is easily available on the secondary market and represents an excellent all-around watch that can be worn in both formal and casual attire. It exudes a degree of sophistication and timeless style that many collectors seek, earning a place in our Omega watch buying guide.
Although Aqua Terra was developed for land and sea, the Seamaster Planet Ocean is a watch designed for professional divers, with a depth of 600 meters, a helium escape valve, and a unidirectional rotating chronograph ring. Ref. 2218.50.00 is the timetable version of the Omega Planet Ocean. The bezel, dial and push the hand of the timetable all amazing orange tones, which gives it a more sporty aesthetic and makes it stand out from other more traditional best replica watches on the market.
This Omega Planet Ocean series is modern, functional, and unquestionably bold. If you want to make a powerful statement without sacrificing any functionality, you can not go wrong with the Planet Ocean chronograph. Despite its complex motion and increased water resistance, the Planet Ocean chronograph maintains an affordable price point on the secondary market and represents one of the best value propositions in the entire Omega catalog.

We all know that Omega prefers an anniversary, but the one that I’m currently celebrating with them in Bienne is very meaningful. This year marks 125 years since the Calibre Omega — a 19-ligne movement that was so great that the company changed its name to the replica Omega Watch Company in 1903, and the rest is history, just as they said.
But what made the Calibre so amazing that it earned the declarative moniker of Omega — the last letter of the Greek alphabet — and the ‘ultimate’ achievement in watch-making? However, this caliber matters because it was innovative — it was awarded a patent for setting and winding via the crown, but more than that it mattered because it was the first serially moved, a movement that was not only produced using an industrial production line method, but it also meant that parts were manufactured very precisely, and thus interchangeable or replaceable. We might take it for granted now, but whenever you drop your watch in for a routine service, you owe a small debt to the fake Omega Calibre.
Omega has launched two very unique watches to celebrate this achievement. The first is a very particular, very limited half-hunter pocket watch with the crown at three. These replica watches are made using original 19-ligne movement components. The bridges, main plates, escapements, and balance spring are original but paired with some more contemporary elements, like the mainspring and barrel, screws, and chatons. Like last year’s 18 CHRO watch, this is a very special piece and one that stands for a ‘living’ bridge between Omega’s past and future.
Less limited, but no less special is the great new Omega De Ville Tresor 125th Anniversary Special Edition, a truly elegant 40mm 18k yellow gold watch with a luxurious red enamel dial — the first time Omega replica has used this kind of dial. The deep Bordeaux color, paired with the gold and simple stick hours and hands is very fine indeed, with just the right degree of dandy-ish appeal. The case back is equally as impressive, with a commemorative 125 years medallion in the middle of the solid case, filled with red enamel, and in the historic Omega font. Inside the watch beats the brand new Master Chronometer Calibre 8929. A tribute to the original 19-ligne caliber, this is the first Master Chronometer certified manually wound caliber.

Rolex’s Rolex Daytona, Jackie O’s Cartier Tank, and other famous timekeepers have all made auction records last year, and it seems the topic is set to keep on till the year of 2018. However, this week, Phillips Auctions announced one of Elvis Presley’s numerous fine timepieces is now slated for the auction block.  
Now there’s a situation here, before getting into the specifics of the cheap replica watch itself, is simple. The PN went down as the most desirable fake omega of all time, and the purchaser of Jackie’s Tank was none other than Kim Kardashian. In comparison, a JLC owned by Bob Hope—at a watch level, at least on the same level—nearly cracked the $30,000 mark this past year.
Of course, we know that Elvis has more fans out there than Bob Hope, but it still begs the question. Further down the rabbit hole you go, the more other obscure Elvis watches you find having crossed the auction block with estimates in the $6-8K and $10-20k range, so if we take the current celeb trend out of the equation, it’s difficult to see this piece hitting its high estimate. In other words, here are lots of details that give this Elvis Omega a touch more cachet.
From a distance, the Omega on offer doesn’t seem like much, though it actually has so much going for it before even getting to its celebrity pedigree. Cased in 18 carat white gold, the slender silver-dialed dress watch is set with 44 round cut brilliant diamonds on its bezel, which is almost surprising considering Elvis Presley’s more “flashy” years did not come until later in his career. Its silvered dial features applied batton indices, as was the most common configuration of the Omega replica pieces of the era. The piece is powered by the brand’s hand-wound calibre 510, which is stamped OTX, designating the piece as having been meant for US export.
As far as the replica Omega concerned, it is not clear where this stamping took place, however overall authenticity is nothing but a concern. The piece is well-documented through its history, and will be sold with a certificate of authenticity from the Elvis Presley Museum, together with a book on Elvis that featured images of him wearing the watch in question.
Those who’ve traced the origin stories of other Elvis replica watches for men in the past will recall that the man was occasionally known for giving away some of his fake watches. In the case of the piece seen here, the story according to Phillips is an interesting one. Therefore, the story goes, the uncle of the current owner crossed paths with the king, and commented on how much he loved the Omega that Elvis happened to be wearing.

The Winter Games are coming, so Omega make its role as the Official Timekeeper of the Olympics—an obligation they’ve had since the year of 1932—making this the 28th time the Swiss company is in charge of timing the games. And with the partnership comes with plenty of Omega PyeongChang 2018 limited edition replica watches. Let’s get a deeper look. 
First of all, we have the limited edition Seamaster Planet Ocean “Pyeongchang 2018″ dressed in the flag colors of the host country, South Korea. Limited to 2018 pieces, the commemorative Planet Ocean diver’s watch sports a 43.5mm stainless steel case with a blue ceramic dial and blue ceramic unidirectional bezel where the first 15 minutes are made from red rubber.
Also limited to 2018 pieces, the Seamaster Aqua Terra “Pyeongchang 2018” Limited Edition keeps its tribute to the Winter Olympics subtle with small, yet colorful “PYEONGCHANG 2018” text added to the minute track around the periphery of the blue teak-motif dial.
Motivated by vintage Omega stopwatches used to time the Summer Olympics in Montreal and Winter Olympics in Innsbruck in 1976, the company unveiled a colorful collection of Seamaster Olympic watches in these days.
Available in five different colors to represent the five rings of the Olympics, the 39.5mm steel cases of the Omega Seamaster Olympic Games Collection watches house domed black and white dials with Arabic numerals, a date window at 6 o’clock, and a pulse scale to measure, you guessed it, one’s pulse.
The relationship between them will keep on until 2,032 since Omega signed a 100-year deal with the Olympics in 1932. So, Omega replica has produced 2,032 examples of each color variant. What’s more, the caseback of the watch lists host cities where Omega has been the Official Timekeeper of the Games, along with future known cities up until Los Angeles 2028.
To celebrate the three types of medals bestowed upon the best athletes in the world, Omega has made the Seamaster Olympic Games Gold Collection with a yellow gold version, a white gold version, and a red gold version.
The simple time-only dials feature the vintage Omega logo and the vintage Seamaster font set upon the eggshell white enamel surface, along with striking gold faceted indexes and the leaf-style center hands.

The cheap Omega watch famous as the Alaska Project was initially developed as one of several efforts made by Omega to introduce a version of the Speedmaster built specifically with support for manned space flight in mind. As we all know, the original Speedmaster was never made for use in space, and especially not for one of the roles in which it became most famous: as a fake watch to be worn during EVA (that is, on the outside of a suit during a spacewalk, or during work on the lunar surface). “Alaska” had no relationship with the state of Alaska; instead, it was simply replica Omega’s internal code-name for the project, which included a version of the Speedmaster with a very large, cushion shaped titanium case.
However, the most famous version of the Alaska Project Speedmasters is one that was tested by NASA in 1972. This version had a zinc coated dial, high visibility hands for the minute and hour registers, and most conspicuously, a very large red anodized aluminum outer shroud, designed to protect the fake watch from excess heat.
It was long thought that these replica watches were never actually used in manned space flight and as far as we know, this is completely true of the US space program; apparently, NASA never took the project beyond the prototyping stage, and never tested the Alaska Project watches in a spacecraft, or during EVAs. However, the Omega-focused Tumblr known as Moonwatchuniverse, has run across what seems incontrovertible photographic evidence that in fact, at least two Alaska Project cheap replica watches were used: on Soyuz 25, which in 1977 became the first Soviet spacecraft to attempt to dock with the newest Soviet space station, Salyut 6. Though little remembered today, Salyut 6 was revolutionary for its time and orbited the Earth from late 1977 through July 1982, when it was de-orbited and as planned, burned up during reentry into the Earth’s atmosphere. 
Salyut 6 was released unmanned, and the first manned attempt to dock with it was Soyuz 25, with two cosmonauts named Vladimir Kovalyonok and Valery Ryumin as crew. Unfortunately they failed to dock with Salyut 6 despite 5 attempts and had to return to Earth after two days – neither had any prior piloting experience and this resulted in a new regulation in the Soviet space program, that any manned mission must have one crew member at least who had been in space at least once before. For our purposes, however, the main point of interest is a photo posted on Moonwatchuniverse, which shows Kovalyonok and Ryumin wearing what appear to be Alaska Project Speedmasters on their flight suits, as they walked to their launch vehicle.

During the years of important advancements in terms of technology and materials, timepieces from the Seamaster Collection have been radically improved to resist extreme conditions and pressure in great depths. With the latest model from the collection, Seamaster Ploprof 1200M watch, Omega replica moved a level of water resistance up to 1,200 meters (3,900 feet). However, the title of the most famous Seamaster belongs to the Planet Ocean which is, at the same time, Omega’s leading sport line. When it first appeared in 2005, the Seamaster Planet Ocean has instantly reached worldwide popularity, thanks to its superb performances under water. 
However, Seamasters insured their places in the “Hall of Fame” as “Bond’s replica watches”. Ever since the Pierce Brosnan’s role in Golden Eye movie, in 1995, the timepieces from the fake Omega Seamaster Collection have been the choices of James Bond (the Seamaster Quartz Professional, the Seamaster Diver 300 M and the Planet Ocean 600 M).Lately, Omega refreshed the collection with a new in the end, Aqua Terra line which combines an eye-catching design (the “Teak Concept”) and Omega’s breakthrough technology (Co-Axial movements).
As its name clearly says, this collection presents special watch editions, mostly the unique reinterpretations of some brand’s iconic cheap omega watches from the past. Created in a limited series, the timepieces from Omega Specialities Collection have become highly valuable items for true watch aficionados. With a number of special editions, and the Swiss watchmaker has highlighted its 80 years long role as the official Olympic Games’ timekeeper. The most renowned is the Olympic Collection Timeless line, with 11 amazing sport fake watches that recall the first Omega’s appearance as the official timekeeper at the Olympics, back in 1932, in Los Angeles. The latest editions (Seamaster Aqua Terra 44 London Chronograph and Seamaster 1948 Co Axial “London 2012” Limited Edition) celebrate the upcoming London 2012 Olympic Games. Extraordinary skills of the best Omega’s horologists are showcased by beautiful tourbillon models, completely constructed by hands, while the Speciality Museum Collection has a task to present the brand’s historic values, upgraded with the latest standards. Each year, the Swiss watchmaker reinvents one classic model which is more than fifty years old.
