Best Quality Replica Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch

The last time I went Street Fighter II on Daan was when the Chopard Mille Miglia took on the Zenith Pilot. In that showdown, I had no issues being harsh on Chopard for the Mille Miglia. This time, however, it’s different. The cheap fake TAG Heuer Carrera Glassbox, especially the black-dial version, was one of my favorites of the Watches and Wonders 2023 show in Geneva. The most common complaint was the date at 12 o’clock and that the chronograph seconds hand obscures it. But when wearing that Swiss made copy watch, I didn’t experience that, to be honest. It’s perhaps a bit like the halos in F1; you just look past it. The seconds hand is so thin that there was absolutely no problem when reading the date.

How will it age?
No, my criticism of the new Carrera Glassbox stems from a few different things. The retail price of €6,500 sounds nicer than the €7,500 for the cheap fake Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch, especially considering the fact you will get a column-wheel chronograph for that amount. And it’s definitely an interesting price, but I have to say that the finishing of the TAG Heuer TH020-00 movement didn’t really put a smile on my face. Another more critical point is that while the design of the top copy TAG Heuer Carrera Glassbox dial with the curved flange is definitely interesting today, it also comes across as very “now”. I am not sure how this will look in five or ten years.

It’s not something I often mention, but when I am on the lookout for a new super clone watch, this is something that I wonder about. Will this still be a nice-looking watch in x years from now, or is it too era-specific? Granted, sometimes I am also dead wrong. I thought that the blue of the high end copy Omega Seamaster 2531.80 might be a temporary thing, for instance. But that watch is also a good example because while it looked very modern with the nine-link bracelet in 1993, it looks quite “1990s” today. A few TAG Heuer examples of this are SEL models from the 1990s and the Kirium models from, well, also the 1990s. These high quality replica watches looked “baller” back then, but look at them now…

Anyway, I am not certain this will happen to the Carrera Glassbox since it does have a lot of vintage inspiration going on. Still, the curved flange does worry me a little bit, even though it does look cool today.
The current Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch is the best
Although I like vintage Speedmasters, I do have to admit that the current Moonwatch model with a Hesalite or sapphire crystal is the best version that best 1:1 replica Omega has ever made. It’s a combination of the 105.012 CB case (the fourth Speedmaster generation) with a step dial, teardrop chronograph seconds hand, and a new Master Chronometer-certified movement. Whereas the caliber 1861 Speedmasters had an accuracy of -1/+10 seconds per day on average, it’s now 0/+5 seconds per day on average.

The movement is now also antimagnetic to 15,000 gauss and equipped with AAA quality fake Omega’s Co-Axial escapement. Last but not least, the Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch comes with a beautiful bracelet that tapers from 20mm to 15mm. This “Nixon” bracelet looks similar to the ones that Swiss movement replica Omega used in the past and fits much better than the one on the previous Moonwatch reference. The Moonwatch saw some steep price increases in the past few years, but compared to the previous reference (that retailed just below €5,000), you do get quite a bit of added value as well.

The Cheap Replica Omega Moonwatch With A Moonphase — A Hidden Gem

For many watch enthusiasts, a watch moonphase complication is something special! It’s not the most difficult complication for brands to develop, but it’s very rewarding for the owner of the watch. A moonphase disc on a dial is a nice visual element, and it certainly suits the official Moonwatch. With Swiss made replica Omega bumping up prices of the regular Speedmaster Professional (€7,500 for the Hesalite version, €8,600 for the sapphire version), you will find some of the discontinued models to be relative bargains all of a sudden. A good example of this is the perfect fake Omega Speedmaster Moonphase, and there are quite a few variations out there.
Speedmaster with a moonphase indicator
Most 1:1 moonphase replica watches use a disc with two moons on it and have a wheel with 59 teeth. This wheel advances one notch every 24 hours. Therefore, a full rotation of the disc, showing the different phases of the new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter, takes 29.5 days. When the lunar cycle is complete, the second moon appears in the moonphase aperture. This is why there are 59 teeth (29.5 × 2 = 59) on the wheel that drives the moonphase disc.

Now, in reality, the lunar cycle takes 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes, and 2.8 seconds (29.53 days). So, as you can guess, the moonphase indicator requires manual correction, but only once every 2 years, 7 months, and 20 days. There are high end copy watches with a moonphase complication that is more precise (using a wheel with 135 teeth), but these are also much more complex to make. AAA replica Omega’s Speedmaster with a moonphase complication has a mechanism that uses a wheel with 59 teeth.
The 1985 SpeedyMoon
All the way back in 1985, Swiss movement fake Omega introduced the Speedmaster Professional ref. 345.0809 “SpeedyMoon” with a moonphase complication. Powering the watch was caliber 866 — basically, an 861 with a moonphase complication and a pointer date. Omega super clone for sale produced only 1,300 pieces, and there were also 700 Speedmaster Teutonic models with the same caliber 866. The SpeedyMoon models were in the collection from 1985 to 1988. With a run of just 1,300 pieces, that is unthinkable today. These top quality fake watches have increased in demand and thus value quite a bit (now ~€15,000, depending on their condition), and they’re not really a wallet-friendly alternative to today’s regular Moonwatch.
