The first is an original circa 1958 that is really a grail Swiss replica Rolex 116200-BKAO Men's watch for Omega collectors.It even has the original bezel and case back.What is interesting about the case back is that this watch is so old, it does not have the now famous Speedmaster logo on it, but rather just the word "Speedmaster" lightly engraved on the circle line.The wear on this watch is exceptionally even too.It features the Caliber .321 movement (same that went to the moon) and price is on request only, but we'd guess it to be near $20,000.But what if you love the looks of the Broad-Arrow hands (which we really do, thus our love for the Ranchero from the same time period), but can't afford to spend the resale value of an Audi on a watch? Luckily, Omega produced a broad-arrow re-edition, and we happened to track one of these down too.
Coming from the year 2000, this re-edition looks just like the original Speedmaster and is in flawless condition.It is a perfect copy, it even has the double dots at 12 o'clock just like the originals.It features a hesalite crystal and a manually wound Swiss replica Rolex 116233-SDJ Men's watch movement.If you are looking for an affordable but interesting modern-day Speedmaster, you can't do much better than this in our opinion.So whichever your fancy (vintage or modern), and whichever your socioeconomic status (ballin' or not quite as ballin'), there is an Omega Speedmaster Broad-Arrow for you.
At heart I’m a sartorial traditionalist. As such, I consider shorts to be beach or street wear and not the right apparel for the office, even ones that redefine the concept of “casual.” (All it took to get me thinking this way was a former colleague’s affection replica Rado watches for wearing short shorts throughout Augustand crossing his legs during meetings). But as a cycling commuter with an implicit disdain for the Washington DC metro, when the swampland humidity of summer descends, biking in pants just isn’t an option.
