Taking full advantage of the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, Omega replica needs something new to celebrate, and a new Bond watch to commemorate the 50th anniversary of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is a timely reminder that in addition to astronauts, the fake Omega is also the preferred timekeeper of a certain secret agent.
Actually, we’ve always considered Lazenby to be somewhat underrated, and we’re even willing to neglect the fact that in the actual film he wore a Rolex “Pre-Daytona” chronograph ref. 6238, as this was well before Omega’s partnership with Bond producer EON Productions came into play in 1995.
Onto the new James Bond watch: the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M is not frequently celebrated as Omega’s most amazing timepiece, but the new fake watches may yet claim their place in horological history someday. Sized at 42mm and crafted in stainless steel, it’s limited to 7,007 pieces and features a black PVD on the black ceramic dial with a spiral-brushed gun barrel design in homage to the Bond movies’ opening credits.
Less quietly, at 9 o ‘clock, there is an 18-karat gold plate on the side of the box, engraved with the limited edition number of the work. 18K yellow gold was also used on the hands and indexes, including the special marker at 12 o’clock which was inspired by the Bond family coat-of-arms – a reference to Lazenby’s cover as a heraldic scholar in the movie. Another rather subtle touch is the use the classic “007” font for the 7’s that appears in the date window at 6 o’clock.
What we should mention is a “hidden” numeral ’50’ inside the 10 o’clock index which only appears in the dark as it is rendered in Super-LumiNova – a reference to the 50th anniversary of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. The watch comes presented on a black rubber strap in a black box that is adorned with gun barrel patterns, gold 007 logos, and bullet-shaped buttons. Also included is a metal bracelet and a leather-trimmed travel case embossed with the Bond family coat of arms and the legend “We Have All The Time In The World” – a somewhat morbid reference to the film wherein Bond’s wife Tracy is murdered at the end.
Raynald Aeschlimann, President and chief executive of Omega, called the replica watches “a tribute to the classic bond movie and its most iconic character.”This unusual watch is elegant and full of surprises, and is sure to be popular with collectors and fans of the character, as it has many bond-related features.”We’ll see.

Summer Rolex Replica Watch recommendations
We’re in August, but the hot weather in southern California these days feels like it is still summer. Doesn’t matter if you’re spending time on the beach, exploring outdoors, or relaxing with friends and family, here are some cool replica watches we recommend.
As the temperature increases, so does the size of the wrist. Have you ever noticed that when it is hot, your wrist will swell up and your watch would be unfit and tight? Don’t be afraid, this is where the super-practical Rolex Glidelock works his magic. Rolex’s patented Glidelock system allows dual expansion bracelets to expand and contract easily for optimal fit. Bracelets with Glidelock can be extended to 20 millimeters in a 2 millimeter increment without tools!
Another super comfortable bracelet to wear on hot and humid summer days is the innovative Rolex Oysterflex bracelet. More than your basic rubber belt, the oyster bends is actually a metal blade surrounded by a black elastomer. However, as good as the material is what’s underneath the bracelet. The oyster’s small “wings” under the Oysterflex not only provide some cushioning, but also leave some much-needed space between the skin and the belt for ventilation. No more sweaty wrists!
Last year, the only two replica rolex watches that had the Oysterflex bracelet were the Everose Yacht-Master 40 ref. 116655 and its smaller counterpart, the Everose Yacht-Master 37 ref. 268655. However, at Baselworld 2017, Rolex released three gold Daytona models with the Oysterflex bracelet. There’s the yellow gold Daytona ref. 116518LN, the white gold Daytona ref. 116519LN, and the Everose Daytona ref. 116515LN. Moreover, at Baselworld 2020, Rolex released the new white gold Yacht-Master 42, which also has a black Oysterflex bracelet.
What do all the watches we mentioned above have in common? Besides being rolex watches (apparently), they are all proud of their ceramic ring, the Cerachrom. Cerachrom is Rolex’s proprietary ceramic alloy found on most of their modern sports fake watch models. In addition to its attractive appearance, Cerachrom is praised for its ability to resist scratches. Also, it can prevent fading, so there’s no need to worry about hanging a ceramic Rolex on your wrist in the sun – perfect for summer!
In addition to the replica watches mentioned above, other great Cerachrom models for summer include steel yacht master II no. 116680, steel GMT master II no. 126710BLNR, and, of course, the very popular steel daytona no. 116500LN. For more prized options, there are the two-color master II reference no. 116681 and the gold gm-master II reference no. 116718.Another benefit of the GMT Master II model is the ability to track multiple time zones.
