I’ve been referring to this pick – luxury fake Omega in my head fondly as The Big Kahuna of this list. The crème de la crème. The Pièce de résistance. Whatever you want to call it, this is the pick whose price tag is hefty enough for many of us to begin to break out in hives. But maybe that’s just a me-issue.
I’m not going to sit here and pretend that this pick will appeal to everyone’s taste (or financial circumstances, for that matter) – I wouldn’t dare! Rather, this is something made for a specific persuasion of a watch enthusiast or collector. It’s bold. It’s gold. And green! It’s the antithesis of quiet luxury.
If the price tag hasn’t spooked you away yet, there’s a lot to admire about this green and gold rendition of the eponymous 1:1 replica Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional. You’ve got the iconic all-six-moon-landing history, check. 18K MoonShine Gold case, pusher, and crown – the brand’s proprietary alloy specifically designed to be more lustrous and resilient than gold alone – check. Chronograph functionality, Swiss Chronometer certification, and that funky green dial with gold details color-matched to the case of Swiss movement fake Omega, check, check, and check.
In an industry that’s so often ruled by the aesthetic pursuit of the timeless, the classic, the understated, and all those other adjectives, making a more ostentatious interpretation of an old reliable, crowd-pleasing aaa quality fake Omega can sometimes be enough to get my heart pounding (in a fun way).
