I Love My Small, 20-Year-Old Cheap Online Omega Seamaster Diver Fake Watches UK — But Omega Doesn’t

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: The watch that got me into perfect replica watches was the Omega Seamaster Diver worn by Pierce Brosnan’s James Bond in 1995’s Goldeneye. The quintessential ’90s watch, with its blue wave dial, skeletonized hands, scalloped bezel and other oddities, is arguably the model most responsible for getting millennials like me hooked on UK luxury fake watches. Still referred to today as “the Bond Watch,” Brosnan’s Seamaster in Goldeneye was a quartz-powered 41mm Seamaster 300M, ref. 2541.80. For Brosnan’s three subsequent 007 films, Bond upgraded to the automatic version of the watch, the immortal ref. 2531.80.

When it came time for me to purchase my first luxury watch several years back, there was never any doubt in my mind about which watch I was going to get. It had to be the Bond Watch. But there was just one problem with the ref. 2531.80: its 41mm case was simply too big for me to wear comfortably. My wrists are on the smaller side at 6.25 inches around, and after trying on the full-sized high quality Omega replica watches, I just didn’t like the feeling of wearing such a large watch. But luckily, there was an alternative. During the entire run of the 2531.80, Omega also produced a smaller version of the Bond watch in the 36.25mm reference 2551.80.

The 2551.80, better known as the Omega Seamaster Midsize, was exactly the same as the larger diver, just scaled down. It had the same materials and design as the Bond watch, the same 300m depth rating and was powered by the same COSC-certified ETA 2892-derived automatic movement. The only differences were its smaller case size of 36.25mm and a slight visual change due to its lack of a half-index at 3 o’clock, which in my opinion actually makes the dial more balanced. So more than five years ago, I bought used Omega Seamaster 300M ref. 2551.80 copy watches for sale from around 2004, and it’s been my favorite watch ever since.

Do I ever get FOMO because I didn’t opt for the big dive watch? Not even a little bit. The smaller Seamaster is incredibly comfortable. It’s by far the most comfortable watch I own, and I often forget I’m wearing it. It’s barely thicker than a dress watch, meaning it easily slides under any shirt cuff, and its small case size just works.

It’s very legible and isn’t tiny by any stretch — 36mm is a classic size for a men’s watch, just think of the Rolex Datejust or Explorer — and the watch looks proportionally the same on my wrist as the larger Seamaster does on someone with bigger wrists like, say, James Bond. I’m pretty rough on my best replica watches, too, and I’ve found that my more diminutive Seamaster — while still bearing plenty of battle scars from years of frequent, inconsiderate wear — takes less of a beating from obtrusive obstacles like doorknobs than larger, bulkier watches I’ve worn, simply because it makes for a smaller target

There’s also the value proposition of it all. When I purchased my Omega Seamaster super clone watches wholesale in 2018, I picked it up from a known dealer on eBay for $1,350. Poke around eBay or the forums today and you’ll find examples still aren’t going for much more than that. Its smaller size is less desirable in the market due to the erroneous belief that it’s a kid’s watch (fine examples can often be found coming out of Japan, where the watch is almost always labeled as a “boy’s” model), meaning the Seamaster Midsize has been somewhat immune to watch inflation.

The full-size iteration of this neo-vintage classic, meanwhile, has seen prices steadily climb over the years and are pretty much impossible to find under two grand. Hodinkee will sell you a ref. 2531.80 for a whopping $3,500, and there’s a whole lot of competition from more capable modern top replica watches at that price point.

Anyone who has followed the story of the Bond Seamaster knows that AAA Omega fake watches discontinued the classic wave dial in 2011, releasing a new version of the Seamaster Diver 300M with a flat, lacquered dial and a ceramic bezel. Dubbed the SMPC (Seamaster Professional Ceramic) by fans, this version never quite caught on like the classic Bond watch — perhaps due in part because Bond never wore one — but it did continue the tradition of offering both a full-size 41mm version and a midsize 36.25 alternative. But in 2018, Omega updated the Seamaster Diver 300M again, and this is where I believe the brand made a mistake that still isn’t too late to correct.

That year, Omega released what is objectively the best version of the Seamaster yet. The brand brought back the wave dial, this time with larger waves laser-cut on a ceramic dial. The ceramic bezel was carried over and aesthetically improved, the date window was moved to 6 o’clock and color-matched to the dial, the bracelet was streamlined and a new state-of-the-art co-axial METAS-certified Master Chronometer movement was now visible behind a sapphire caseback.

I was a fan of all of these changes, as was most of the watch world. But one aspect of the new Seamaster of which I was not a fan was its size. The watch’s case increased in diameter from 41mm to 42mm. OK, fine, not the end of the world, lots of people like larger 1:1 online replica watches. But in addition to this upsizing, Omega also axed the Seamaster Midsize from the lineup, leaving people like me without an appropriately sized Omega diver option.

At the time of the revamped Seamaster’s 2018 release, enthusiasts assumed the Midsize would return eventually. While discussing the watch’s larger size in his review of the new Seamaster in March of 2018, Ariel Adams of A Blog to Watch said, “I also fully anticipate Omega producing a smaller version in the future to expand its marketability.” More than five years on, that hasn’t happened yet, and the smallest new Seamaster you can buy today is 42mm.

I’m not really in the market for new Swiss made fake Omega Seamaster watches, but I probably will be in the future — and I’m sure there are many small-wristed enthusiasts who would buy a modern Seamaster now if one existed in a smaller version. With midsize divers now coming back into vogue — just look at the buzz created by Tudor’s 37mm Black Bay 54 release at Watches and Wonders earlier this year — it seems like the perfect time for Omega to resurrect the Seamaster Midsize. I’m hoping they will, but until that day comes, there are always the classics on eBay.

UK High Quality Fake Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatches Vs. Breitling Navitimer B02 Cosmonaute Watches

This week, we follow up last week’s titanium face-off with a battle between two Swiss chronographs. But these are not just any chronographs. Both of these top UK replica watches have a claim to firsts in outer space. You’ve read it in the title already, but today’s showdown will be between the Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch and the Breitling Navitimer B02 Cosmonaute. Respectively, these modern Swiss made fake watches are descendants of the first watch worn on the Moon and the first Swiss watch worn in space. But which one of these two cosmic chronographs will take the win? As always, the choice is yours.

Now, the Speedmaster is a house favorite here at Fratello. But the Breitling is also a watch with plenty of pedigree and classic good looks. Both 1:1 online replica watches feature manually wound movements and steel bracelets and are modern versions of a historic model in their respective brands’ catalogs. They’re also both three-register chronographs with a functional bezel and have seen action on the wrists of astronauts. Even size-wise, these are truly two horological peas in a pod. Read along, and make sure to cast your vote for the winner.

Nacho: Breitling Navitimer B02 Cosmonaute Replica Watches

Hello, boys and girls! Welcome to this week’s SMS. As hinted at in the intro, it will be an uphill battle for my Breitling, but I’m here to give it an honest go. In the end, removing the slight bias that we (as Fratello) and you (as our readers) might have in favor of the Speedmaster, it’s not an unfair match. Plus, I have a soft spot for cheap fake Breitling’s nerdier watches (shout-out to my Aerospace) and those which dip into the brand’s heritage designs. So, in my mind, the B02 Cosmonaute is — vintage watches aside — quite possibly the most exciting watch available from the brand today. Don’t worry; I won’t spend the following sections telling you all about this story of the watch. Ben already did a great job of it in his introductory article here.

But it is worth noting, albeit briefly, the heritage of the Cosmonaute. As you can see in the collage above, the original Cosmonaute was a watch that made it into space, though it was never officially flight-qualified by NASA. It enjoyed its time in outer space during the MA-7 Mission on the wrist of astronaut Scott Carpenter on March 15th, 1962. Carpenter’s luxury copy watches suffered an unfortunate watery demise upon his return to Earth’s surface. However, the story of his watch persists, having found new life in the 2022 re-release of the Navitimer Cosmonaute. During the campaign, Breitling used Carpenter’s original Swiss movements replica watches, which shows heavy signs of the saltwater corrosion that ended its timekeeping for good. However, under all the damage lies a handsome watch. And the reissue certainly does it justice.

A watch with history, pedigree, and rugged good looks

As you can see above, the new Cosmonaute faithfully reincarnates the original ref. 809. It also revamps the model with some extra features. Its unique 24-hour dial (which helped Carpenter keep track of night and day while experiencing multiple sun cycles in space) is a charming feature from the original. But the date and the chunkier knurling on the (platinum) bezel are new additions. I somehow find the dial of the modern Cosmonaute more balanced than that of the vintage AAA fake watches. This is likely thanks to its larger sub-dials and slightly higher placement of the AOPA logo at 12 o’clock. Compared to the cleaner dial of the Speedmaster, the Breitling’s may appear cluttered at first. But it’s certainly no less legible, with bright white hands contrasting nicely with the black backdrop. The only thing that requires mental rewiring is reading the watch’s 24-hour format.

Size-wise, the Cosmonaute comes in at 41mm. That’s smaller than a Speedy, but don’t let proportions fool you; the Breitling will likely wear just as large. This is due to its bigger crystal and lack of an external bezel. Whether that’s a positive or a negative, I’ll leave it up to you. As you can see above, the watch wears well on Mike’s wrist. Let’s talk about color for a second.

As much as I appreciate the black-and-white look of the Speedmaster, there’s something appealing about the slightly more colorful Breitling. The white rotating bezel creates a tuxedo-dial appearance, and the subtle hints of red on the slide-rule scale add a purposeful flair. And speaking of purpose, this China super clone watches is like a mini wrist computer. The versatility of the bezel boggles my mind whenever I read about it. You can read about it here if you too would like to be mercilessly baffled.

A matter of taste (and wealth)

Before I wrap things up, let’s talk about the movement. Inside the Breitling Navitimer B02 Cosmonaute, and visible through the sapphire case back, you’ll find the Breitling B02 movement. This manually wound chronograph caliber is a lovely sight to behold. Its bridges are finished with a radial brushing extending from the balance wheel. They are also engraved with a couple of nice “Easter eggs” from the watch’s space-faring history. The chronograph also utilizes a column wheel and has a beautifully snappy and precise feel. For what it’s worth, the best replica watches is also slightly slimmer than the Speedy “Sapphire Sandwich” at 13mm thick (0.2mm thinner than the Omega).

Ultimately, the fake watches for men you prefer will come down to personal taste. Well, and also the contents of your savings account. It wouldn’t be fair to let Daan beat me to the punch regarding price, so I’ll mention it here. Yes, at €11,450, the Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute is almost €3,000 more expensive than its Speedmaster equivalent (the sapphire version retailing at €8,600). However, one thing to note is that the Cosmonaute is a limited edition. Breitling has only made 362 of these, making it a far more collectible watch than the standard-production Speedmaster. So, if you have the taste and the money to reach for the cosmos, the Breitling Navitimer B02 Cosmonaute should be your pick.

Daan: Fake Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatches

All right, Nacho, I won’t bring up the Cosmonaute’s price again. Instead, I’ll start by asking: why is the replica watches for sale called “Cosmonaute” rather than “Astronaute”? According to Wikipedia, both words have the same meaning. They both refer to “a person trained by a human spaceflight program to command, pilot, or serve as a crew member of a spacecraft.” But I always thought that “astronaut” was used for people from the United States and Western Europe while “cosmonaut” was used for Russian people.

You could just say, “What’s in a name?” But in this case, 1962, the year the Breitling Cosmonaute debuted, was also the year that the Cold War came to a climax. The United States and the Soviet Union almost let their nuclear bomb(s) burst during the Cuban Missile Crisis that very same year. Of course, as always, Switzerland was a neutral party during the Cold War. Nevertheless, calling a watch “Cosmonaute” seems almost like a provocation towards other countries in the West. Of course, this says nothing about the actual watch, but I do think the peculiar naming of the 2023 fake watches definitely deserved to be mentioned.

Tough competition

As a watch, I do appreciate the Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute B02 quite a bit. I like the 24-hour layout on the dial, the syringe hands, and the very elegant bezel. And I even like how Breitling redid the model for last year’s anniversary, except for that date at 6 o’clock, of course. But otherwise, it still very much has the vibes that the original had back in 1962. I do prefer the way the best quality replica Omega Speedmaster watches wears on the wrist, though. Yes, it might be 1mm wider, but because of the lugs’ dramatically sloping facets and the external bezel, it definitely wears smaller than the Cosmonaute.

I also much prefer the bracelet on the Speedmaster, especially when we’re talking about the current versions of both these watches. The one for the B02 Cosmonaute is the typical brushed/polished “slanted” seven-row bracelet that comes with a lot of wholesale Breitling fake watches. It’s just a little too clunky and shiny for my taste. Then again, it’s up against one of the best bracelets currently available on a sports watch. The designers at Omega really went the extra mile on the new Speedmaster bracelet.

A sports watch versus a space watch

One big difference between these two replica watches shop is that the Cosmonaute was specifically designed to be worn during spaceflight. The Speedmaster, on the other hand, was introduced as a sports/racing chronograph to emphasize Omega’s role as the official timekeeper for the Olympic Games in 1957. I think it’s quite badass that a watch that was incidentally on the wrist of a few astronauts became one of NASA’s officially certified instruments. It somehow won that race against a watch that was specifically designed to go into space.

And even though I like what the Breitling designers did with the 2022 Cosmonaute re-edition, I think the Speedmaster wins this battle in terms of design. In particular, the current Speedmaster is such a nice reiteration. And what I really appreciate is that you can choose between versions with either a Hesalite or sapphire crystal. The whole point of buying such space-inspired replica watches store is the fact that a similar watch went to space. In that case, buying it with a Hesalite crystal makes a lot of sense. That’s why I think it’s a shame Breitling doesn’t offer that option.

To conclude the nitpicking, I’d like to point out that the Cosmonaute is only water/pressure resistant to an equivalent of 30 meters. The Speedmaster is rated to 50 meters, which isn’t the most impressive spec on a sports watch either. However, I’d be more comfortable bringing the Speedmaster near some water than I would with the Cosmonaute.

Cast your votes!

All right, there you have it — the battle between two space giants. Honestly, you can’t really go wrong with either one. But which one would be your replica watches site of choice to fly into space? Would it be the slightly more colorful Breitling Cosmonaute that was specifically designed to go into space? Or would you go for the mostly black Speedmaster on its magnificent bracelet?
