Several years ago, Panerai published Luminor Submersible 1950 PAM 382, which raised a bronze storm in watch industry. The story between XF and bronze started from Panerai’s PAM 382. Afterwards, XF unveiled PAM 507, PAM 671, Zenith Type 20 Pilot Extra Special, Tudor Black Bay Bronzo, these are all art work of XF that are made of bronze material. So, we can see that XF factory continuously researched bronze and applied this material in their watch-making process, today, they released this IWC Pilot Spitfire bronze watch, it is the first IWC watch that is made of bronze.Actually, it is not hard to make a bronze case, but the difficulty is that bronze case should be oxidized to our expected result at the speed we want, XF has always been researching this, now the oxidized result on this IWC Pilot Spitfire has achieved a perfect condition, which is closest to genuine, compared with the bronze case from small factories, you will find that their oxidized color is uneven and there is even rusty spot.
When we talking about the world-famous watch brand Omega, I think most of watch fans may be familiar with the series of Planer Ocean very much. Its leading technology of movement, cool color collocation, and its dynamic appearance, all these classic characteristic may be an appreciated view in wrist. Today I felt so exciting to share one outstanding replica of this series to you guys. It has deduced all classic and unique factors which were the same as the genuine, but the only difference between two of them was the price. You may be so surprised to own such excellent replica just need to cost little money. So now let’s know something about it briefly.This replica Omega Planet Ocean has ultra big dial, its diameter was 45.5mm. Its case was made of solid stainless steel 316. Only just this big size and tough material, have already made us feel the its sport style and it was more masculine in deed. There are three big steel Arabic numerals was embossed in the black dial steadily in the place of 6:00,9:00,12:00. The date display window was set at 3:00 position. And the other bar markers were surround its big steel hands . Besides, its hands and scales, markers has been gone through the process of super luminous coating. it was so considerate to help diver read diving time easily. You can see polished steel with bright white in day, but you still can see it shinning with blue color when you stay in darkness. But in order to help divers read their diving time in any situation. Minute hand and bezel scales will show green color. This function can help divers distinguish diving time and normal time quickly. In addition, diving was a dangerous sport actually. So it was very necessary to have this function because any detail was connected with their life.
While bidirectional rotating bezels may be quicker for wearers to turn to the appropriate spot, as a dive bezel it’s not the best option. If the bezel gets accidentally knocked, this could cause divers to miscalculate how long they have been underwater. Therefore, a unidirectional bezel is more prudent because accidental knocks to the bezel can only result in overestimating immersion time – it’s far preferable to start ascending to the surface earlier or spend longer than necessary at a decompression stop.Rolex began equipping the Submariner with unidirectional bezels starting with the Submariner Date ref. 16800, which was introduced around 1979. The no-date Submariner model received a unidirectional bezel with the introduction of the Submariner ref. 14060 in 1990.Like the previous generation, the new unidirectional bezels included aluminum bezel inserts. In 1983, Rolex introduced the first two-tone Submariner model in the form of the Submariner Date ref. 16803, which sported a yellow gold knurled bezel with a black or blue aluminum insert. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Submariner in 2003, Rolex introduced the stainless steel Submariner Date ref. 16610LV with a green bezel insert.In 2008, Rolex introduced the first Submariner models equipped with unidirectional bezels featuring Cerachrom inserts. Cerachrom is Rolex’s proprietary ceramic alloy that is not only resistant to scratching but also to fading. The 60-minute graduations are cut into the bezel and then the ceramic bezel insert is fully coated with either yellow gold (for yellow gold and two-tone models) or platinum (for white gold or steel models). The gold/platinum is then polished away from the ceramic surface until only the recessed numerals and markings are left with the metal filling.By 2012, Rolex had rolled out the Cerachrom bezels across all Submariner models and color options include black, blue, and green. A quick way to know the color of the bezel is to look at the letters in the reference number: LB (blue bezel), LN (black bezel), and LV (green bezel).
The earliest movement used in the Rolex Explorer II was the Caliber 1575, but over the years it was replaced with more technically advanced movements to help this watch reach its full adventure potential. The first big upgrade was the Cal. 3085 which allowed the 24-hour hand to be adjusted independently from the 12-hour hand. This meant the Explorer II no longer just indicated day and night hours, but could also be used to track a second time zone – turning it into a GMT watch. Then came the Cal. 3185 which was improved upon more with a Glucydur balance wheel that is not only paramagnetic but was resilient in extreme temperatures. The 3186 came next with a blue Parachrom hairspring that is anti-magnetic and shock resistant for even better durability. Finally, we have the modern-day Cal. 3187 which features all the upgrades this watch has gained over the years – from the GMT functionality to the blue Parachrom hairspring. It’s also notable for its high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers, 31 jewels, -2/+2 seconds per day accuracy and 48-hour power reserve.The Submariner has a much longer history, so we’re going to start with the automatic Caliber 3135, which, while upgraded over the years, has been used in all date-displaying Submariner watches since 1988. While the aesthetics of the Submariner can vary, the Cal. 3135 has remained a trusted source of power for this beloved timepiece because of its sheer reliability. Today, the upgraded Cal. 3135 movement is COSC certified, outfitted with the anti-magnetic and ultra shock-resistant blue Parachrom hairspring, and boasts an impressive 48-hour power reserve just like the Explorer II.
The replica Daytona watch is made by WW factory, we call it WWF. You know, the Hublot Classic Fusion replica from WWF is very hot in recent months, especially JJ factory was closed several months ago, now, only two factories in our market make replica Hublot Classic Fusion watches, WWF and TWF.On the case, WWF uses real forged carbon material, the case has very special prints. The bezel has white and red markers, which exactly echo with the red stitching on black nylon strap. The forged carbon case has a good finish, and the watch feels very comfortable when you wearing it, it has a very light weight. Case back is made of 316L stainless steel that has been blackened.The dial is black and has white printings, central second-chronograph hand is in bright red color, this long and big hand works for seconds chronograph, it has the same function as real Daytona watch. The red hand and “DAYTONA” form a high contrast with the black dial background. Three small dials have real functions, sub-second hand is working on the small dial at 6 o’clock, other two small dials present minute and hour chronograph.Although the replica has the same chronograph function as real watch, it has a thicker case than genuine. If you want the case to be exactly 1:1 replicated from original, which I mean the replica Daytona has the same thickness as genuine, then you need to go with a Daytona replica watch from Noob or AR factory. The Daytona watches from these two factories absolutely represent the most advanced watch-making technology in our market, they also have better case finish and 1:1 original case profile.However, if you want to try something that looks fresh, then this carbon Daytona watch will be a good start.
After in stock again, let’s check the most important place that has been improved on this replica watch. It is the 8500 movement. The replica uses a completely new movement, which took V6 factory one year to research and produce, it is not based on Miyota or Asia 2824, it is just a brand-new movement that was independent designed by V6 factory, according to genuine Omega 8500 Caliber. Now this re-made movement works completely same as genuine, such as real hack feature and independent adjustable hour hand to adjust hours and date. The movement not only looks the same as genuine in appearance, it also functions like real.About other details, they are as accurate as older edition. Dial is sandwiched and the bottom plate is applied genuine Swiss Superlumed material, top plate has skeletonized hour markers, and there are 3-6-9 Arabic numeral markers. Silver hour and minute hands are cut very well and full of angular sense. The Omega Logo and “OMEGA” word are not printed, they are stainless steel made in silver tone, raised from black dial, just like the 3-6-9 hour markers.
