There are so many versions and variations of the iconic best super clone Omega Speedmaster that it takes a truly special example to stand out, and honestly, this solid gold reference BA 145.022 stands out. Not just because it’s gold, but because it’s the first gold Omega Speedmaster replica online UK, as well as the first numbered edition. — and one intimately tied to the golden era of space exploration.
The cheap super clone Omega BA 145.022 is something of a grail for watch collectors today, with prices for one of the 1,014 examples made ascending with aptly, rocket-like trajectory, to just under the one hundred-thousand-dollar mark at auctions. Says Aurel Bacs, the master of all vintage watches and auctioneer extraordinaire, “People often ask me what the next Paul Newman Daytona is. I would say this yellow gold Omega Speedmaster fake online from 1969 has some potential to capture the imagination, both because of its totally unique and stunning looks and also the incredible mythology related to it.”
Of the high quality super clone watches made the first two were allocated as gifts to Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew, who were both compelled to turn them down due to their rather substantial value, a mistake the estates of both men probably regret today.
The AAA fake Omega Speedmaster model 145.022–69 was a milestone model for the brand as it would forge the underpinning for all Speedmaster Professional watches that would come after, in ceaseless chain of production all the way to the present day.
Indeed, the faithfulness with which 1:1 super clone Omega has adhered to the iconic blue print of the 145.022 is certainly one of the reasons that a vintage-crazy new generation has become obsessed, because the modern watch is in essence the same watch as the original from 1969.
It is the same case, the same dial (with a change in luminescent material) and the same calibre 861 movement, the cam-operated successor to the legendary column wheel calibre 321.
But with the gold version of this watch, Swiss made super clone Omega pulled out all of the stops. First the case of the watch is a massive hulking hunk of solid yellow gold. The dial, which is unique in top copy Omega lore, features the letters “OM” on either side of the “Swiss Made” hallmark which represents the words “Or Massif” or solid gold in English.
The markers on the watch are also unique in the best quality fake Omega Speedmaster visual lexicon in that they are square and onyx. The bracelet of the watch is also solid gold, the deployant clasp characterised by stripes running along its length and its links can only be removed and re-attached by a goldsmith. In many vintage super clone watches for sale the bracelet has been swapped for a more modern version, which while more practical is not strictly original. I’ve also seen collectors rocking the watch head on a gold-plated JB Champion though I would have concerns about scratching the inner lugs of the gold case.
And while now precious metal and limited edition Omega Speedmasters super clone watches Paypal are much more common, it doesn’t take away from the special lustre ofd the very first limited edition, precious metal Speedy, the Tribute to Apollo XI Ref. BA 145.022.
