Introducing Omega Seamaster 1948 Limited Edition Replica Watch Now In Platinum


This year Omega celebrated the 70th anniversary of one of its two emblematic collections, the Seamaster. Born in 1948, made waterproof thanks to the experience acquired with military watches but in a civilian and rather elegant way, the early Seamasters were still gentlemen’s watches – and not the robust, professional tools that most of us know today. At Baselworld 2018, the brand presented an extremely faithful commemorative pair of watches – the 1948 Seamaster Limited Edition – and now we have a more luxurious, highly exclusive version, which has made it to the collection. Meet the Omega Seamaster 1948 Limited Edition now in Platinum.
Background

The story behind the Seamaster collection is strongly linked to military watches. Between 1940 and 1945, OMEGA delivered more than 110,000 timepieces to the British Ministry of Defence (MoD) for use within the Royal Air Force and its other branches. These watches were valued for their precision, water-resistance and reliability in combat. The end of the war left Omega with great knowledge and experience in manufacturing precise, reliable, water-resistant timepieces. The brand responded to demand for a timepiece containing the same robust technology and reliability, but more aesthetically suited to civilian life. The Seamaster was born in 1948.

Launched in 1948, the Seamaster was the first proper family of watches designed by Omega. Even though conceived on the base of WWII military watches, the inaugural Seamaster pieces were beautifully designed and suitable for civilian use. Yet, they were given greater water-resistance than their military counterparts thanks to Omega’s novel use of the O-ring gasket technology. Two versions were available: a small seconds with leaf hands and a model with central seconds and dauphine hands.

The two watches have been revamped in modern limited editions for the Omega Seamaster 1948 70th Anniversary Collection – two watches that were introduced at Baselworld 2018 and that we reviewed here. Aesthetically speaking, the Omega Seamaster 1948 Limited Editions were extremely faithful to the original. Certainly not as compact as before, the proportions remained very much on the reasonable side, with a 38mm case. But if the looks are identical, the technology is all about the 21st century.

As for the inaugural watches launched in 1948, Omega presented two versions: one with small seconds (a bit dressier) and one with central seconds. Differences can be seen on the minutes track, the shape of the hands and, of course, on the movement side – a similar base but with different gear trains due to the different seconds display. Originally crafted in steel and available in 1,948 pieces each, the collection is about to receive some new flagships, with highly exclusive platinum models.
The new Omega Seamaster 1948 Limited Edition Platinum

Besides the change of material for the case, the evolutions of these new platinum editions of the Omega Seamaster 1948 are subtle and the overall vintage-oriented design, so close to the original 1948 model, hasn’t been altered.

The case


First and foremost, the cases are now crafted from 950 Platinum – meaning a much denser watch on the wrist. However, the dimensions are the same: a 38mm diameter and 11.20mm (central seconds) or 11.65mm (small seconds) in height. The small seconds version, due to the addition of a few wheels to transfer the seconds from the centre to the 6 o’clock position, is slightly thicker. The cases of the platinum versions retain the same finishing, with mostly polished surfaces and brushed casebands. The straps are also different, and are now made of green or brown alligator skin.

One the back, we find back the same transferred decoration: a Chris-Craft boat and a Gloster Meteor aircraft, a tribute to the aviators and mariners who once relied on Omega’s watches. Even though the material has changed, these watches remain water-resistant to 60m – sufficient considering the rather dressy vocation of these pieces, especially in a noble material. The caseback has the typical patented “NAIAD LOCK” system, with all the inscriptions and decoration perfectly aligned.

Inside the cases of these Omega Seamaster 1948 Limited Edition Platinum replica watch are the same movements used in the steel versions, however with a solid Sedna gold rotor and balance bridge (something that is always the case with precious metals watches at Omega). The automatic Calibre 8806 (central seconds) and Calibre 8804 (small seconds) are in-house developed and manufactured and feature the METAS/Master Chronometer certification. They are anti-magnetic and very precise, as expected.

Along with the new material, these Omega Seamaster 1948 Limited Edition Platinum feature several small updates on the dials. First of all, they are made in Platinum too (as suggested by the Pt 950 inscription below the hands’ axle) and have a metallic, grained colour. Indexes and hands are the same but the small seconds version has yellow gold accents while the central seconds features rose/Sedna gold details.

Breitling Bentley Replica Watch You Can Wear

  Overall Impression I am happy that someone at Breitling has finally realized that there is a lot of wealthy people with good taste and there is a strong demand for classy ultra-luxury watches. Like with the last year’s Navitimer Aviator 8 B01 Chronograph 43 Limited Edition model, Breitling’s designers sought their inspiration in watches that were offered by the brand back in the 1940s-1950s when their products were mainly associated with elegance and refinement, not with arrogance and brutality. The new batch of vintage-styled models is still significantly physically larger than the classic pieces from half a century ago, but not in that defiantly vulgar way as the luxury timekeepers offered ten -or even five- years ago by Breitling itself, Breitling Bentley replica watch as well as its many competitors. Case, Ergonomics & Strap At 42 millimeters in diameter, the Centenary is still larger than a classic dressy chronograph and the lugs could have been a trifle shorter to make...

2018 Tissot T-Race MotoGP Limited Edition Watch

  Tissot T-Race MotoGP Limited Edition Chronograph Leading up to Baselworld 2018, Tissot has released a new limited edition into what's arguably its most masculine collection. Tissot has often been criticized for its change of direction over the last few years through partnerships with a number of organizations and people – the NBA and MotoGP being the most consistent and successful. The motorbike racing inspired Tissot T-Race MotoGP Limited Edition Chronograph has more nods to Motocross than a bobble-head in a hurricane. I believe this model will fit into a niche of reasonably affordable watches for the hardcore speed-bike fans who aren't afraid to rock a rose gold piece of manly wrist candy. Case Let's start with the case. Measuring in at 43mm x 12.7mm (though I imagine it feels a bit larger considering the hefty crown guard and pushers aptly described as the "control panel"), the stainless steel case is coated in rose gold, and features oversized lugs...
