Hands-on The UK AAA Replica Omega Speedmaster Calibre 321 Canopus is Like The Greatest Hits of the Brand, From the Past and Present
In the music industry, when a band releases a compilation of its most successful songs, it’s named “best-of” or “greatest hits.” At Swiss luxury fake Omega, such a compilation is named the Speedmaster Calibre 321 Canopus Gold. A watch that summarizes 65 years of Speedmaster, a watch that combines the best from the past and the future. Everything that has been praised over 65 years in the cheap replica Omega Speedmaster, from its iconic design and movement on one side, to the latest developments in materials and finishing on the other, are packed in this watch. Sure, when it has been released, this CK2915-inspired model made some noise, being one of the most expensive and most exclusive Speedies ever done. Quite a departure from the utilitarian roots of the model. But let’s consider this watch the “Greatest Hits of the cheap copy Omega Speedmaster” and a watch that is a celebration of everything Speedy…
it has become a recurring pattern for UK 1:1 replica Omega… Every first Tuesday of the year comes an important, new Speedmaster-related watch. We’ve seen last year the brand new Moonwatch, the Speedmaster Professional Master Chronometer. In 2020, top copy Omega released the Speedmaster Moonwatch Calibre 321. And in 2019, the Biel-based manufacture announced the re-introduction of the legendary Calibre 321, the Lemania-based movement that once powered the first-generation Speedmaster watches. And in 2022, we’ve been granted with this, a high-end, ultra-luxurious, modernly-manufactured, vintage-designed Omega Speedmaster replica for sale that combines everything best at Omega.
This year marks the 65th anniversary of the introduction of the Omega Speedmaster fake online, probably one of the most iconic chronographs and watches ever made by the Swiss watch industry. The first chronograph with an external bezel, the first watch worn on the Moon, one of the few watches to be in constant production since the late 1950s… There are so many stories to be told about the super clone Omega Speedmaster that we’d better stay away from this topic today.
What matters is that once again, perfect fake Omega releases a watch that is directly inspired by the very first model, the 1957 Speedmaster CK2915-1. It isn’t a first, as the brand did so in 2017, for the 60th-anniversary collection – also paying tribute to the Seamaster 300 and the Railmaster – with a very faithful (visually at least) re-edition, in stainless steel, with a relatively reasonable price. However, while the brand could have used the same recipe as the Ed White-inspired Speedmaster Moonwatch Calibre 321 – understand one-to-one reproduction of the habillage and historical 321 movement inside – best quality replica Omega has decided with the 1957-inspired Speedmaster Calibre 321 Canopus to go in a different direction. A direction that will certainly be discussed, but that is entirely assumed by the brand. Visually, the CK2915 is undeniably here. Mechanically, well, the movement is as close as it can get. Material-wise, this is a completely different story.
CK2915-1 LOOKS, 2022 MATERIALS
Design-wise, the AAA fake Omega Speedmaster Calibre 321 Canopus Gold is a no-surprise watch, for the best of the worst (depending on how you like or not the Speedmaster). Fans of the models will be happy to see a case and all other elements of the habillage faithfully recreated, with dimensions and shapes precisely modelled after the CK2915-1 (at least, when these watches were new). And in that vein, it means a central case that is identical to the Swiss movement copy Speedmaster Moonwatch Calibre 321. The case, just like the 1957 model, measures 38.6mm in diameter for a height of about 13.9mm, and a lug-to-lug measurement of 48mm – these “straight lugs” cases have always been quite long. The difference with the Ed White in terms of diameter should be accounted to the bezel of the latter, which protrudes from the case. Otherwise, it’s the same.
Instead of a Hesalite synthetic crystal, the Speedmaster Calibre 321 Canopus relies on a modern sapphire crystal, which nevertheless is shaped almost like in the old days – it might be a bit boxier and less curved. High quality fake Omega went all the way to recreate the Ω logo in the centre, above the hands’ stem. Water-resistance is rated at 60 metres (which is, for an unknown reason, 10 metres more than the modern Moonwatch) and the crown, identical to the original in shape and design, has the so-called NAIAD logo. The pump pushers are also modelled after the original 1957 model. Finishing is classic, with a combination of polished and brushed surfaces and the execution is… typical Omega replica Paypal. Clean, ultra-precise, solid.
Finally, the external bezel – an important element of the design of the Speedy – mimics the look of the original CK2915-1, being made of brushed metal, with a contrasting black tachymeter scale (something that clearly defines the look of the earliest versions). It has the classic 1957 font and markers, with dot over ninety (DON) and a dot diagonal to seventy, the “base 1000” calculation and the old-school “tachymètre” mention.
But now, we have to go into science and modern materials, and high-end production techniques. Because indeed, as indicated by its name, the best Swiss replica Omega Speedmaster Calibre 321 Canopus Gold is not a steel watch. Its case is made of Canopus Gold, a proprietary alloy, made of 75% of gold, 20% of palladium, and 5% of rhodium and platinum. The idea, just like with Sedna gold, is to offer an alloy that is more resistant to wear and fade, as its colour will stay far more white within the years. All elements of the case and bracelet are done in this specific alloy – and yes, the copy watch uk is quite heavy (well over 200 grams) – and that includes the bezel. The latter also relies on a high-end process in order to create the scale, which is first engraved and then filled with grand feu enamel. This will ensure more durability.
