The luxury fake Omega Seamaster is an iconic addition to the dive watch story, steeped in history and engineered for performance. But I don’t think it’s the best. Not quite. It loses by a nose, by the fine hairs on the tip of the nose, but it loses. Why? We’ll have to get pretty down and dirty in the fussy details to find out.
The priciest non-precious metal Seamaster costs £9,500
Scoot up to the top end of the cheap replica Omega Seamaster scale and you’ll find prices that are barely believable. The most expensive Seamaster before you get to the precious metal jobbies is £9,500. I’m sorry, that’s the same price as a Submariner LV. Actually slightly more expensive. That’s £1,800 more than a dateless Submariner. Granted, that particular non-precious metal Seamaster is titanium, but even then, the priciest steel Omega Seamaster fake for men is £7,900, which is still £200 more than the dateless Submariner. Takes a lot of nerve to play that game!
The Swiss movement replica Omega Seamaster’s helium escape valve is a problem
It’s the little silver peanut butter cup at ten o’clock and it’s so irrelevant that most people don’t even know what it does. Of course, most people would never use 99% of a dive copy watch’s capabilities anyway, but when this particular feature literally sticks out like a sore thumb, you have to weigh up the necessity of it. I don’t know if the automatic valve seen on the Sea-Dwelller is patented and so best 1:1 replica Omega UK has to use this manually set version that hangs off the case side instead, but to put into perspective how pointless it is, it will only serve a benefit it you take it saturation diving. Like compression chambers, days underwater, standing on the seabed kind of stuff.
