There have always been two sides to the enigma that is James Bond. Yes, he’s MI6’s cold-blooded killer, but he also enjoys the finer things in life, be it casinos, cars or gadgets. If anyone can mix business and pleasure successfully, it’s Bond. His loyalty to the late Queen and the pursuit of his nation’s enemies is unwavering and has made him an iconic figure in Britain and the wider world, but he’s always carried out his duty with style, panache, and usually with a beautiful woman on his arm, too. This year marks the Bond movie franchise’s 60th anniversary and to celebrate that milestone, OMEGA – his long-term collaborator – has released two stunning new 007 Omega replica watches for sale. The first, OMEGA’s Seamaster 60 Years of James Bond in stainless steel, captures the character’s rugged and militaristic side. Its partner, the colourful Canopus Gold version, highlights his exuberant side and that of his creator.
For watch fans, a pivotal point came in the ’90s with the release of GoldenEye. Pierce Brosnan’s chiselled Bond ditched the one-liners in favour of a more serious demeanour – a good choice, as Fleming’s original Bond was based on military men he’d worked with in the Naval Intelligence Division. Costume designer Lindy Hemming then suggested that, as a naval man, Bond would have most likely worn AAA UK Omega fake watches. She didn’t pull this idea out of thin air – OMEGA did supply the UK’s Ministry of Defence with 110,000 watches in World War II and a famous batch of Seamaster models in 1967. From that point OMEGA and Bond have been inseparable, with the British spy’s watch getting him out of numerous scrapes – remember in GoldenEye when Bond used his high quality Omega Seamaster replica watches’ laser to cut an escape hatch in the floor of a train?
Now we’re not saying these latest releases have metal-melting lasers, but OMEGA has taken that iconic Seamaster 300 as the base for these anniversary editions. It’s a well-established design and we’ve recently seen the actual best copy Omega Seamaster 300 watches that Daniel Craig wore in No Time to Die sell at Christie’s for a staggering GBP 226,800.
What makes the OMEGA Seamaster 300 such a special watch? Aside from the authenticity of OMEGA’s use by the Royal Navy, the cheap replica Omega Seamaster watches is successful on a number of fronts. Like Bond, it blends rugged functionality with tasteful styling. This new special edition continues that theme with a comfortably sized stainless steel case, a crown that is protected by crown guards and a helium release valve at 10 o’clock.
The distinctive bezel features a deep blue oxalic anodized aluminium insert and watch geeks will notice the commemorative 60 at the top of the dial replacing the usual triangle insert. The dial, with its laser-engraved waves, is reassuringly familiar as are the hands and simple markers.
So far, the wholesale fake Omega Seamaster 60 Years of James Bond watches delivers what we’d expect from the Swiss watchmaker’s signature dive watch. But the real star of the show is hidden, which seems fitting for a spy’s watch. Turn this beauty over and you’re presented with an eye-catching tribute to the Bond movies. Using what is known as “moiré” effect animation, the rear of the watch recreates the opening scene from Bond’s movies. Bond moves in silhouette as the watch ticks – this being achieved through a link with the second hand. It’s a unique feature and took some clever innovation and modification of the Calibre 8806 movement.
We’d noted earlier that Bond has a more colourful and playful side and the Canopus Gold variation captures that beautifully. Inspired by Ian Fleming’s Jamaican estate, this top Omega replica watches adds Caribbean flair to the mix. It has the same 42mm case, and a similar Calibre 8807 movement, but it’s crafted from Canopus Gold – an exclusive white gold alloy. The stunning bezel colour is achieved by the use of diamonds in 10 tropical shades, and again, the rear of the watch boasts the stunning Bond animation.
James Bond is a complex character and to celebrate 60 years of Bond movies Omega has released two unique editions of the Seamaster 300, a watch indelibly linked to the fictional character. Launched in London, the home of MI6, and with the most recent Bond – Daniel Craig – in attendance, the new 2022 super clone Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 60 Years of James Bond watches is a fitting tribute to a movie icon.
There’s no film character whose high quality replica Omega watches are quite as iconic as James Bond. More than just an accessory, his timepieces have been a symbol of status, refinement and utility throughout the franchise’s decades-long run. The spy’s 60th anniversary, happening this year, certainly calls for celebration, and who better to start the festivities than Omega, the company that’s been the official watch of 007 since 1995’s GoldenEye. Today, the Swiss watchmaker launches its latest Bond collection to commemorate the icon’s legacy, including two new models—the luxury UK fake Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 60 Years of James Bond watches in stainless steel and Canopus Gold—plus sailing bracelets and a set of cufflinks.
“I was convinced that Commander Bond, a naval man, a diver and a discreet gentleman of the world would wear this watch,” says Lindy Hemming, the Oscar-winning costume designer who chose the perfect replica Omega Seamaster 300M Quartz watches for GoldenEye. The Seamaster 300 initially debuted 1957 and was issued to military divers around the world. A decade later, a famous batch of second-generation Seamaster 300s was delivered to the Ministry of Defense for delivery to certain units. So, it’s entirely plausible that Bond would have been issued best Omega copy watches.
And it’s the iconic cheap replica Omega Seamaster 300 watches that serves as the foundation of the 60th-anniversary models. The first iteration in stainless steel is directly inspired by the watch from GoldenEye ,with nods to the film and modern upgrades. On the front, you get the classic Seamaster aesthetic with a rich blue dial and bezel made from oxalic-anodized aluminum. The dial features laser-engraved waves, and the bezel is home to a diving scale filled with white Super-LumiNova, with the traditional inverted triangle replaced by a commemorative “60.” Flip the watch over, and you’ll find an homage to the film’s opening sequence with Bond in silhouette and a spinning gun barrel design. The timepiece is complete with a mesh-style bracelet, the same as 007’s Swiss movements Omega fake watches in No Time To Die. Inside, you’ll find the brand’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Caliber 8806.
The second 60th-anniversary 2022 Omega replica watches is a bit more unique. It’s rendered in Omega’s own 18-karat Canopus Gold, an exclusive white-gold alloy known for its brilliant shine and long-lasting effect. As a nod to Ian Fleming’s Jamaican home, the bezel showcases a tribute to the Jamaican flag with green- and yellow-treated natural diamonds in ten different shades. The gem-set piece frames a natural gray silicon dial and includes the same exhibition caseback as the stainless-steel version. Powering the Canopus Gold is the brand’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Caliber 8807.
To enhance the look of these two commemorative Omega super clone watches wholesale, Omega has also designed a collection of sailing bracelets inspired by the NATO strap worn in No Time To Die and cufflinks inspired by Bond’s Omega in Quantum Of Solace.
Both top Omega fake watches are available today, with the stainless-steel version priced at $7,600 and the Canopus Gold priced upon request. For more information, visit Omega’s website or your nearest Omega boutique.
“When it’s cold outside, I’ve got the month of May. Well, I guess you say, what can make me feel this way? My watch (my watch, my watch), talkin’ ’bout my wa-a-atch — MoonSwatch!” Isn’t that exactly how that song by The Temptations went? No? Well, thanks to them for the inspiration anyway. Honestly, it couldn’t be any more fitting. Since I got my best replica Omega MoonSwatch Mission to the Sun watches three months ago, it has brought plenty of wrist-worn joy to dark, dismal days. And with autumn in full effect and winter not far behind, some May vibes will come in handy over the next six months, I’m sure. But let me tell you, that MoonSwatch Velcro strap had to go! Was it a cool concept? Sure, but the stiff, plasticky “fabric” (?) wasn’t for me. Thankfully, though, Perpetual Straps came in clutch with two fitted rubber straps in yellow and white.
You may have seen Ben’s article on the MoonSwatch-specific Rubber B VulChromatic strap that costs more than a MoonSwatch itself. Several other fitted rubber options are quite pricey as well, such as those from Horus, which retail for US$235. Call me a cheapskate (you wouldn’t be wrong), but I just couldn’t justify spending that much on a strap for 1:1 UK fake Omega $260 watches. I’m sure the quality is fantastic, but the principle of it didn’t sit well with me. Texas-based company Perpetual Straps, however, offers straps with a very similar look and style for just $40 each. After discovering the company on Instagram through one of my colleague Dave’s stories, I knew who I would turn to once I finally got my MoonSwatch. And soon after some luck and persistence paid off at the Swatch boutique in Osaka, I was off to Perpetual Straps to get some new kicks.
Choices, choices…
Out of the 11 cheap replica Omega MoonSwatch watches, I picked the Mission to the Sun because no watch screams fun like a yellow watch does. To me, fun is precisely the MoonSwatch’s reason for being, and the yellow sunburst dial and lemony case drive that point home. Then, from the 22 different rubber options that Perpetual Straps offers, I went for the Solid White and Yellow Accent straps. While my top choice was the white one for its contrast with the case and dial, I thought yellow would also be great for when I’m feeling extra frisky!
Jason, the owner of the Perpetual Straps, was incredibly personable in our interactions on Instagram. He shipped my order out quickly via USPS, and it arrived to me in Japan in 10 days or so. Before the straps arrived, I hardly wore the perfect Omega copy watches at all because I didn’t want the original Velcro strap to spoil the honeymoon experience. In my mind, the MoonSwatch and fitted rubber straps were soulmates, so I was willing to wait for them — you know, delayed gratification. And that turned out to be a great decision!
Perpetual Straps Solid White option… and a surprise!
After opening the package, I immediately grabbed the Solid White strap to make my first swap. I was impressed with the feel of it in my hand. It felt soft, smooth, and supple but also solidly made. And I was incredibly surprised and elated to find that Jason included adhesive crystal protectors in the package too! Admittedly, along with its delicate pushers, the high quality replica Omega MoonSwatch watches’ scratch-prone plastic crystal is one of its biggest flaws. Should we need to use a crystal protector in the first place? No. But it is what it is, and I love that Perpetual Straps is looking out for its customers. The flat, adhesive plastic cutout measures 30mm across and covers most of the crystal’s 33mm diameter. If you apply it correctly (it took me two tries), it’s barely noticeable and offers great peace of mind.
Once I applied the crystal protector, I set about attaching the strap with a standard spring-bar tool. The strap ends are curved to match the shape of the case perfectly, and the tolerances are pleasingly tight. It did take a bit of fiddling — 20 seconds or so — to hear the sound of the spring bars clicking into place. Once I did, though, and gave the strap “the tug test,” I was convinced that the connection was secure. The ends not only follow the curve of the mid-case but also extend inward to rest against the case back. I like this a lot because it provides greater support and adds to the bespoke feel of the design. At its thickest point, the 20mm strap measures roughly 6mm thick between the lugs. Past the lugs, it measures about 4.5mm thick, tapering to 2.5mm thick at the 18mm buckle end.
The look and feel
I stand by my initial feeling that the Solid White option would be the best for the Mission to the Sun. Along with the white sub-dials and tachymeter bezel, it’s a perfect contrast that balances out the vivid yellow spectacle. As wise people say, life is all about balance, and though I’m not the best at applying that philosophy to myself, at least I can do so with my Swiss made Omega fake watches strap. I also adore the raised central portion of the strap and how it fades away as it approaches the holes. Along with its ovular recess, it lends a great amount of visual interest to the mono-color design.
It’s also neat that the brushed stainless steel buckle has a raised portion too. I think it helps everything feel that much more congruent. The buckle feels more than acceptable for a strap at this price, and I have zero complaints about its construction. I also appreciate the tabs on the strap’s shorter end that hold the keeper closest to the buckle in place. Having to adjust two keepers on a rubber strap is always annoying, but these tabs largely mitigate that. The rubber itself has a satin-like finish that also feels incredibly comfortable on the wrist.
I do wish, however, that the holes were a tiny bit closer together. I often alternate between the second and third holes depending on if I want a snug or relaxed fit. Ideally, for my ~17cm (6.75″) wrist, a hole right between them would be perfect. But unless a strap is fully bespoke, this is often just how it goes. It doesn’t seriously detract from my enjoyment of the strap.
The Yellow Accent strap
And when I want to get a little crazy — because, as Seal said, “We’re never gonna surviiiive, uuuunless… we get a littlllle craaaazy” — the Yellow Accent strap fits the bill! So far, I haven’t worn this strap as much as the white one, but it’s on the watch currently and will stay there for the next few weeks. I will say, this strap gives the MoonSwatch much more of a “Swatch!!!” vibe. Remember, though: this is a Swatch product and not made by Omega. I didn’t buy the MoonSwatch as an alternative to the 2022 top Omega Speedmaster replica watches, anyway, so I welcome the frivolity that a strap like this brings.
In both construction and design, the Solid White and Yellow Accent straps are the same. The only difference, of course, is the color scheme. The latter has a saturated yellow base with a painted white accent running down the ovular recess in the center. Notably, the yellow shade is different than that of the dial and case, appearing slightly darker with an orange undertone. It’s not quite different enough to look like a purposeful contrast, but it’s not close enough to match seamlessly either. To me, the color gives the strap a more aftermarket look, and in a perfect world, it could be a shade or two lighter. However, I know it can be extremely difficult to reproduce the exact shade of another material with rubber. Considering the affordable price of these straps compared to the competition, I don’t expect perfection either. If you do, it’s probably best to look elsewhere.
But it does its job well
Despite my slight mental hangup about the shade of yellow here, on the wrist, it doesn’t really bother me at all. The Yellow Accent strap does what I think it’s intended to do — send already expressive China Omega super clone watches over the top. On certain days, that’s exactly the type of wristwear I want, especially when I need to give off a lighthearted vibe. This is the perfect pairing to wear when trying to motivate a class of 17 Japanese first graders at English Saturday school. It’s a flamboyant source of genki on the wrist, sending energy beams through my fingertips and into their hearts. At least that’s what I tell myself… The power of positive thinking, right?
Perpetual Straps — My verdict
Overall, I’m very happy with these two rubber options from Perpetual Straps. Are they flawless? No. But they are a joy to wear and perfect enough for my purposes. For a fitted rubber strap with great tolerances and good construction, I do think that the $40 price is more than fair. Plus, with over 20 options available, I think it’s nearly impossible to find one that doesn’t suit your chosen online replica Omega MoonSwatch watches.
As you can see here, my colleague Ben wears his Mission to Neptune on the Navy Blue Accent strap. Though much more toned down than my two vivacious pairings, I think the dark navy base and brighter blue accent suit the dial and case to a tee.
I’ll be thrilled to continue wearing these fun rubber straps for as long as I own my MoonSwatch. If I had just one selfish wish, however, it would be for a white strap with accent stripes in a brighter yellow color and holes that were slightly closer together. Wait, is that a cheeky way of making three wishes in one? Possibly. I guess I’ll leave it up to Perpetual Straps’ genie Jason to make the final call.
