While the current collections of all the watch brands combined already result in a massive number of different models, you can really get lost in exploring the past. For this photoshoot, we explored the good old days in style, highlighting very different (vintage) Swiss made replica watches that each represents an era in its own way. Carefully enjoyed by past owners, they all currently reside in private collections but were brought together especially for this shoot.
Replica Rolex Day-Date Ref. 1803 Watches
The most noticeable thing that sets the best UK fake Rolex Day-Date Ref. 1803 watches apart from its more modern siblings is the pie-pan dial. While not as extreme as with certain vintage Omega Constellations, it still adds a nice bit of depth to the dial. This particular Day-Date from 1976 is made from yellow gold but has quite a warm glow to it, indicating that the copper content of the alloy was slightly higher in those days. The dial is also quite unique, as it is a so-called “ghost dial.” This refers to the fact that the printing is in white, but on a relatively light-colored dial, in this case a kind of tan-brown. This makes it so that under certain angles, the writing cannot be seen, hence the term “ghost dial.” Powered by Caliber 1556, this Rolex Day-Date copy watches for sale has no quick-set function for either the day or the date and is often surpassed by collectors in favor of more modern siblings that do offer this feature. While understandable, it is also part of the charm of a watch like this, pretty much the same as that the Aston Martin DB2/4 Mark III lacks power steering.
Fake IWC Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Rattrapante Watches
In 1985, IWC launched the Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Chronograph replica watches for men, officially leaving the quartz crisis behind. Developed by legendary technical director Kurt Klaus, this Da Vinci was taking a different approach to a classic complication. Klaus used the trusted Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph caliber and added a perpetual calendar module to it, combining two very desirable complications. Klaus did away with the need for correctors on the side of the case, and made the perpetual calendar very easy to set, with just the crown. It lacks a leap year indicator, but instead shows the full year in a window just below 8 o’clock. In 1995, IWC celebrated the Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Chronograph 10th anniversary by adding its tenth hand, turning the chronograph into a rattrapante, or split-second chronograph. This complication was developed by another great name in watchmaking, Richard Habring, who worked at IWC, together with Klaus. With its hooded lugs and exceptional combination of complications, the IWC Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Rattrapante super clone watches UK wholesale is even today still a powerhouse.
Omega Ref. 2420 “Tiffany & Co.” Replica Watches
This high quality fake Omega Ref. 2420 watches is not only a great example of an early bumper automatic by the brand, but it also had the good fortune of being sold by Tiffany & Co. Written in a slender font, it is one of those rare examples that two of these famous names combined grace a dial. While a mere 33 mm in diameter, the Omega has plenty of character to attract attention. The 14-karat gold case is fitted with beautifully shaped lugs, while on the dial, the shape of the hour markers impresses. A blue minute track adds a dash of color, corresponding with the blued seconds hand. Vintage 1:1 Swiss replica watches often offer a different experience compared to their modern siblings. With this Omega Ref. 2420, it is the motion of the bumper automatic of Caliber 28.10 that reminds you that you are wearing something special. In a bumper automatic, the oscillating weight doesn’t make a full rotation but bounces the rotor from one side to the other, where it hits a small spring, taking advantage of the motion of your wrist. While rather subtle, you can on occasion, feel this when wearing a bumper automatic, adding an extra dimension of owning one.
