The 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro are still two years away. However, Omega Replica Watches, which will be the Games’ official timekeeper for the 27th time, has already introduced its first limited-edition watch celebrating the Rio Games: the Omega Speedmaster Mark II “Rio 2016,” Replica Watches chronograph watch with an in-house, co-axial movement.
This special edition of the Omega fake Watches Speedmaster Mark II watch — released by Omega at this year’s Baselworld watch fair and inspired by a vintage Omega Speedmaster model from 1969 — has a distinctive barrel-shaped case made of polished and brushed stainless steel. The crown and chronograph pushers are polished, and the steel bracelet, which features Omega’s patented screw-and-pin design and a foldover rack-and-pusher clasp, has both polished and brushed surfaces. Wearers can adjust the bracelet’s length by releasing the outer clasp and sliding the inner clasp.
Beneath the flat, scratch-resistant crystal is a matte-black tricompax dial with subdials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock to record 30 chronograph minutes, 12 chronograph hours, and running seconds, respectively. On this “Rio 2016″ model, these subdials have an Olympics motif, ringed by bronze, yellow gold, and silver to represent the medals awarded to the champion athletes.
Like the standard Omega Speedmaster Mark II fake Watches, the Olympic model has a tachymeter scale printed directly on the sapphire crystal and illuminated from underneath by an aluminum ring filled with Super-LumiNova. The varnished hour and minute hands, the hour markers, and the chronograph seconds hand are also coated with this luminous substance. This model is the first Omega watch that allows the wearer to read the tachymeter scale in the dark.
The movement in the Omega Speedmaster Mark II Rio 2016 is Omega Replica Watches’s Caliber 3330, which is equipped with a silicon balance spring and three-level co-axial escapement and boasts a column-wheel chronograph function. The watch’s case, which is water-resistant to 100 meters, has a screw-down caseback that is stamped with the logo of the 2016 Olympic Games (the first ever to be held in South America), and engraved with “Si14″ “Column Wheel” and the limited-edition number of the watch (only 2,016 will be made, priced at $6,300). The Omega Speedmaster Mark II “Rio 2016″ limited edition will be offered in a special presentation box with a certificate of authenticity and will come with a full two-year warranty.
