Choosing the very first timepiece to start off a luxury replica watch collection can be a daunting task, what with the bewildering number of options available. Collectors who are starting out are often looking for a few common things though, such as versatility (it’s the first watch, after all), an accessible price, and a well-regarded brand.
Fret not! We have picked out some options for you to consider, based not just on their prices, but also the merit of each individual watch and the strength of their respective brands. Each entry here is a storied classic that doesn’t just make for a good starter, but will also be a worthy addition to your growing collection of luxury watches.
Omega Speedmaster
The Speedmaster is Omega’s claim to fame for being the chronograph that the brand sent into space – and to the moon. When the doomed Apollo 13 had to make a manual course correction to correct its trajectory and return its three astronauts to Earth, the 14-second long firing of the rockets was also timed by a Speedmaster.
First introduced in 1957, the Omega Speedmaster Replica Watches hallmarks include a hyper-legible tri-compax dial, the baton indexes, and a thin bezel printed with a tachymeter scale. Numerous variations of the watch have been introduced over the years for different purposes, including experimental models such as the “Alaska Project” meant for even more extreme environments.
The most well-loved model remains the Buy Luxury Speedmaster Professional “Moonwatch” With Crypto, which has remained practically unchanged since the revision of its movement from 1968, down to its acrylic Haselite crystal.
IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII
The Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII traces its lineage back to the observation watches produced by IWC in the 1940s, and bears the same design codes of the original. Bold sword-shaped hands, large Arabic numeral indexes, a triangle flanked by two dots at 12 o’clock, and a stark white-on-black colour scheme all serve to make the watch extremely legible – a crucial requirement for flight navigators who issued with the originals.
The Pilot’s AAA Replica Watches has evolved with the times though. At 40mm, it’s an infinitely better fit on the wrist compared to the original’s 55mm sizing. The addition of a simple date window at 3 o’clock is another reflection of the zeitgeist, as is its self-winding movement.
TAG Heuer Autavia
The latest generation of Carrera timepieces have been given various updates. The model shown here comes with TAG Heuer Replica Watches Review in-house chronograph calibre, Heuer-01, which was first introduced in 2015. Various detailing contributes to the watch’s technical look, from the red column wheel visible from through the case back, to the skeletonised components. Other premium appointments include a scratch-resistant ceramic bezel, which has been given a polished finish here, as well as faceted indexes, applied just like the original.
