I have reviewed several Omega watches on my blog, they are all Planet Ocean models, which are the latest modern Omega Seamaster collection. If you are looking for something that is in the blood of Omega Seamaster, then this one is. The watch here is an Omega that has inherited the most authentic features of Seamaster 300 series, but its design also meets the aesthetic view of modern people. The watch being reviewed is an ultimate replica, I do not know which exact factory it is from, but its quality and replicating level are very high, which could be even compared with Blancpain Fifty Fathoms from Noob factory. The replica Omega is in black, there is also a blue version.It is the best 41mm Omega replica watch I have ever seen. 316L stainless steel case has polished lugs on front, the sides are brushed. The wave-shaped bezel is different from Rolex Submariner’s small clicks. The bezel is rotatable and has white deep engravings on the ceramic insert. Please check the pearl on the bezel, it is also different from Submariner’s, the latter looks more raised and round. Seeing from the side, the case is cut very well and has beautiful arc lines. The crown, which is protected by two steel guards, seems to be better integrated into the case. On the other side of the case, there is another crown at 10 o’clock, it is for Helium valve release.
Much like the red line of text on the dial of the latest Sea-Dweller, the bright orange, arrow-shaped 24-hour hand on the latest incarnation of the Rolex Explorer II is a design element directly borrowed from the very first version of the watch from 1971. For a number of decades, this style of 24-hour hand was entirely absent from the Rolex watch catalog, during which time, the Explorer II shared a 24-hour hand design with Rolex’s GMT-Master II line of watches.However, in 2011 for its 40th anniversary, the Explorer II line received a complete makeover, both inside and out. Although the vast majority of the new reference 216570 Explorer II was completely different from the original version and classifies it as an undisputedly modern timepiece, the large, orange-colored, arrow-shaped, 24-hour hand is aesthetically almost identical to the one on the original version of the Explorer II from the early 1970s.A significant part of the allure of the Rolex GMT-Master II 126710BLRO is rooted in its vintage-inspired design elements, such as its red and blue, “Pepsi” bezel insert and its Jubilee-style bracelet. The very first Rolex GMT-Master watches from the mid-1950s were made from stainless steel and fitted with half-red, half-blue bezel inserts; however, ever since the introduction of Cerachrom (ceramic) bezels, half-red, half-blue “Pepsi” bezel inserts were only available on the 18k white gold version of Rolex’s GMT-Master II. The reference 126710 GMT-Master II marked the return of a stainless steel “Pepsi” GMT, as well as the return of the Jubilee bracelet to the GMT-Master line.
