Before the horological feast that is Watches & Wonders begins, Swiss fake Omega UK has decided to thoroughly whet our appetites with its own event called “Omega Days”. The event may have concluded on the 9th of March, but perfect replica Omega chose to launch the novelties in India on the 22nd of March making sure that even before the week leading up to Watches & Wonders, all eyes remain affixed on these gorgeous novelties.
Sure, the cheap fake Omega Seamaster Ultra Deep remains the highlight of this year’s Seamaster watches. And why not? It debuts luxury replica Omega’s proprietary O-Megasteel alloy, can withstand underwater pressures up to 6000 metres and comes with a 60-minute underwater scale. Performative? Perhaps. Ridiculously cool? Definitely.
But the rest of the AAA replica Omega Seamasters aren’t to be overlooked. The new Seamaster Diver 300M now gets a green ceramic bezel with white scale in Grand Feu enamel and a wave pattern dial, also in green. It comes in a 42mm stainless steel case flanked by a steel bracelet or a green rubber strap.
Adding to the collection are fresh 1:1 replica Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra watches in 38mm and 34mm. Crafted in stainless steel, the watches feature several dial options in Atlantic Blue, Bay Green, Sandstone, Saffron and Terracotta.
The gold perfect fake Omega Speedmaster Apollo XI BA145.022-69 that belonged to Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins fetched a record price at Heritage Auctions’ Fine Timepieces auction on June 1st. My first thought was that Swiss replica Omega UK must have acquired the watch for its museum, as I had guessed in my announcement article for this auction from May 10th.
In that article, you will find all the details about this specific gold copy watch owned by Michael Collins. When we published the announcement for this auction about a month ago, the highest bid was at US$50,000. From there, and it quickly went up to around $180,000 including the buyer’s premium. During the auction itself, the highest bid was $765,000, including the buyer’s premium. This is the highest amount ever paid for a gold 1:1 replica Omega Speedmaster Professional.
Record price for a Speedmaster BA145.022-69 In the past, more of these astronaut-owned gold luxury fake Omega Speedmaster Apollo XI BA145.022-69 references have been sold at auction. None of them have ever fetched anywhere near this price, though. It’s also interesting to know that Michael Collins’s Rolex Day-Date only fetched US$37,500 at auction in 2004. It shows that those were different times when it came to watches and the appreciation for both the pieces and the important people who wore them. When I saw the final price for Michael Collins’s gold Omega Speedmaster Professional replica for sale, I immediately wondered when I would be able to see it in the Omega museum.
A series of 1014 pieces, 32 of which went to the NASA astronauts I somehow just assumed that AAA quality replica Omega UK wanted to have this piece for the brand’s impressive museum in Biel. After all, there, you can also find Speedmasters worn and owned by other astronauts, including some flown ones. In the Omega museum, you will also find the gold Speedmasters #1 and #2 (of 1,014 pieces in total) that were presented to President Nixon and Vice President Agnew. As far as we know, 32 NASA astronauts received the gold Omega Speedmaster super clone online. Most of them got it during the banquet dinner for NASA astronauts on November 25, 1969 in Houston, Texas. According to Philip from MoonWatchUniverse, he found proof (images) of 18 astronauts actually wearing their gold Speedmasters, of which four did during NASA training. In the Swiss made fake Omega museum, you’ll also find the gold Speedmaster Apollo XI that belonged to Ken Mattingly (Apollo 16).
Not to the Omega Museum Anyway, I reached out to the folks at Swiss movement replica OmegaUK, and they let me know that they didn’t get Michael Collins’s Omega Speedmaster Apollo XI BA145.022-69. They didn’t even put in a bid. Omega’s budget probably wasn’t an issue given what the brand has bought and paid at past auctions. My contacts told me, however, that they already have astronauts’ watches in the museum and that they viewed this as an opportunity for the cheap fake Omega Speedmaster community to actually own something incredibly special.
Some thoughts on this BA145.022-69 number 19 On the one hand, I feel slightly disappointed for selfish reasons. This means I will probably not be able to hold this super clone watch in my hands. On the other hand, I think it’s very cool that this watch will end up in the hands of a collector instead of a brand. It shows once more how strong the top fake Omega Speedmaster is in today’s market. The CK2915 that fetched US$3 million also proved that point, proving that collectors and enthusiasts are willing to spend that much on a Speedmaster. In the past, only references by Patek Philippe or special Rolex watches were able to fetch these amounts. Now, though, high quality fake Omega can claim a place on that list with some of the recent incredible results.
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.
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.
