The perfect replica Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m remains a serious watch for divers, or those who never intend on going near the water but want a well-made, chunky piece of high-end and sporty horology. John Mulgrew gets hands on with the latest boutique-only version which tones down the colour palette
UK Top fake Omega Seamaster range has its roots in significantly more restrained and smaller watches, while it enjoyed its modern renaissance almost 30 years ago when Pierce Brosnan’s Bond strapped a quartz 300m to his wrist.
That best copy Omega Seamaster watches have since developed and evolved into the modern 300m – complete with Co-Axial movement, ceramic bezel and additional detail and refinement of a modern, automatic timepiece.
And while it’s a true dive watch, you turn to the Swiss fake Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean for that next level and degree of both ruggedness and functionality.
1:1 Wholesale Replica Omega quietly dropped a handful of new Planet Oceans – a larger and chunkier Seamaster with both a more muscular aesthetic, and impressive depth capabilities.
Look, very few of these will make it near the water – but with a 600m resistance, chunky case, rubber strap and helium escape value, you’ll feel like it’s the piece of horology best-equipped to do so if the time ever came.
This gunmetal grey variant is one of two boutique-only releases (currently available at the online replica Omega boutique at Queen’s Arcade in Belfast) and cuts a sizeable presence at 43.5mm, alongside a stealthy and sleek aesthetic.
While many UK AAA fake watches bathed in dark tones have a little pop of colour somewhere – whether it be a GMT hand, contrasting bezel, or markers – this Planet Ocean is all about muted and subtle variation of tones.
It’s a handsome piece. On bracelet there’s going to be significantly more weight, along with chunkiness on wrist, but the integrated stitched grey rubber strap is the perfect addition, with something akin to a traditional perlon texture, alongside a clean, brushed or blasted deployant clasp.
There’s a satisfying 120-click grey bezel, with broad Planet Ocean hour and minute hands, with a thinner seconds, chunky off-white filled indices and just that little bit of beige in terms of a couple of lines of text aside from the different swathes of grey.
On wrist, it sits surprisingly well given its 16.2mm case thickness but also thanks to a relatively condensed lug-to-lug of just over 49mm. The steel used for the case itself almost has a titanium-esque look to it – slightly darker and almost graphite in appearance. It increases that stealthy look and ensures not only is there no case polishing, but means less reflection than you’d get from a standard steel Swiss made replica watches head.
Site fake Omega sometimes does like a bit of jargon. You’ll find a few phrases when perusing the range, from its Moonshine gold to Liquidmetal.
Its this latter technology which shop replica Omega watches used to bond its ceramics – an alloy which it says offers “new decoration possibilities in a metal grey colour with superior scratch-resistance and enduring stability”, which features on this latest modern Planet Ocean iteration.
There’s the usual signed crown at the three position and then UK luxury copy Omega’s helium escape valve at the 10 mark.
Turning to the back and you’re greeted with a look at that Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8900 movement, alongside the outline of a seahorse on the sapphire – with everything being secured with cheap super clone Omega watches’ Naiad Lock caseback system.
The chronograph variants are likely for those with sizeable wrists, or those with average wrists seeking significant presence.
It’s a 45.5mm case and 52.3mm lug-to-lug – which is actually reasonably compact given the overall size of the head of the store copy watches – however the thickness is a few hairs away from being 2cm thick. This isn’t going to be on to fit under almost any sleeve, let along a formal shirt.
This 43.5mm boutique, non-chrono version, however, is arguably one of the most impressive in the current Planet Ocean range.
Some of the standard UK buy super clone watches have a little more pop of colour, making them potentially more functional and easier to read in an actual diving scenario. But the clean, balanced and almost monochrome look of this gunmetal grey option make it particularly appealing.
For those after a little more brightness, there’s a green bezel and strap version with contrasting grey dial.
