To obtain the coveted Master Chronometer certification – indicating that Omega replica watches UK have passed a battery of stringent tests, including one that guarantees accuracy greater than 0/+5 seconds a day – a watch needs to have a seconds hand. Seems obvious, right? Or at least, it was until recently – because with the new Constellation Observatory collection, Omega has rewritten horological history.
These are the first two-hand replica Omega watches for sale – they have just hour and minute hands – to reach this most exacting of quality standards.
It comes after exhaustive tests over 25 days by the Laboratoire de Précision, an independent chronometer testing lab established by Omega in 2023, and certified by METAS, the official Swiss national measurement authority.
It was a new system used in the tests, known as Dual Metric Technology, that made it possible to measure watches like those in the cheap replica Omega Constellation Observatory collection, without seconds hands, to Master Chronometer standards.
By monitoring a watch’s acoustic signature, the technology generates constant data that can be used to power extremely accurate assessments.
This is the ideal collection to push to new extremes of accuracy, with a lineage of highly precise timekeeping that dates back to the very first Constellation watch, in 1952 – just one of perfect copy Omega’s watch collections inspired by the wonders of space.
The latest models draw on the aesthetic of those early Constellations, from the dodecagonal pie-pan dial to the Constellation Star at 6 o’clock.
They come in a wide variety of variations, each of them in a 39.4mm case. Four models come in gold only – Omega’s very own Sedna, Moonshine and Canopus versions of the precious metal, with two finishes in the latter. Another Swiss Omega fake watches combine gold with platinum in another Omega signature, meaning this is the first collection to feature all four of the gold alloys the watchmaker has developed.
But those aren’t the only proprietary metals in the collection. The other four models come in O-Megasteel, developed by top Omega clone watches to be up to 50 per cent harder and twice as tough as standard stainless steel.
Each comes with a dial in a different colour: one boasts a polished black ceramic pie-pan dial, an Omega first, while two others are in PVD blue and green, and another comes with a silvery opaline finish.
They’re all powered by a pair of entirely new movements. At the heart of the O-Megasteel 1:1 fake Omega watches are Calibre 8914 Standard, with a rhodium-plated finish, while the gold models feature either Calibre 8915 Luxe or Grand Luxe, themselves also in gold.
