Hodinkee in Chronograph, Omega, Omega Speedmaster First Watch On The Moon, Speedmaster, Vintage Sunday, October 26, 2008 at 9:19PM We love it when watch companies modify classics to fit individual markets.Why do we love it? replica IWC 9270-24 watch Well usually it ends in commercial catastrophe followed up by cult classic status.For example, the Space Dweller from Rolex which is really just a renamed Explorer.Rolex wanted to capitalize on the Japanese love for Astronauts, but it was really just a test-model and only a few hundred sold.Now, the Space Dweller is one of the most sought after watches on the planet, selling for many times the price of an Explorer from the same vintage.
While this might be endearing to replica IWC 3714-31 Men's Watch some (us included), a modern take was in order to make a successful transition to a diverse marketplace.That said, the latest Grand Seiko pieces are decidedly more contemporary and undoubtedly ready for the big stage.If you ask us, Seiko's biggest challenge here will be providing an adequate marketing platform to catch the rest of the world up on what the citizens of Japan have been aware of for 50 years.Luckily for them, there is a rich history of excellence sewn into the product.Once you see one of these in the flesh, you just might think twice about that upcoming Rolex purchase.
The Omega Speedmaster, just like the Rolex Explorer, is a classic sport watch.In the 1980s it had already gained fame as the first watch on the moon, and yet replica IWC 5004-02 watch felt it wise to modify it for only the German market.The Speedmaster Mark V, which you see the right, features the same cal .861 movement that was used on the Professional model, but a wholly different case.The Mark V is very sleek, futuristic watch and a unique piece of Speedmaster history.If you'll allow us to get really "watch nerdy" on you, the watch you see above isn't actually a Mark V Speedmaster, or at least it wasn't originally.
