The Pivotal Replica Watches of the Last Half-Decade
Welcome to the third installment of Fratello Talks for this year. Today, Nacho is joined by Morgan and RJ to delve into the most pivotal copy watches of the past five years. Reflecting on the last half-decade, we’ve meticulously curated nine timepieces that have left an indelible mark on the world of horology. Amidst the deluge of new releases from Swiss watchmakers annually, these selections stand out for their innovation, influence, and sheer fascination.
Before we delve into our selections, let’s take a quick glance at what’s adorning the wrists of our hosts today.
Morgan proudly sports his newly acquired Omega Seamaster Professional 300M (ref. 2531.80.00), a timepiece immortalized by Pierce Brosnan’s portrayal of James Bond. Despite its unabashedly ’90s aesthetic, Morgan’s initial reservations melted away upon spending quality time with it, leading to an inevitable love affair with this classic dive watch.
Moving on, RJ flaunts his cherished limited-edition Omega Speedmaster Professional Apollo 11 50th Anniversary (ref. 310.60.42.50.99.001) in gold. With a nonchalant air, he showcases this remarkable piece, a quintessential representation of his style – bold, golden, and Speedy. For the founder of Fratello and the driving force behind #SpeedyTuesday, this watch epitomizes his daily wristwear.
Lastly, Nacho adorns his wrist with the Breitling Aerospace, a titanium timepiece once synonymous with aviation professionals worldwide. Recognizable for its sleek yet durable titanium construction housing a multifunctional quartz movement, this replica watch boasts features like the digital minute repeater, a favorite of Nacho’s, ready to be utilized at a moment’s notice.
Now, onto the crux of our discussion:
Nacho, RJ, and Morgan embark on an exploration of the most influential watches introduced in the past five years. These selections aren’t necessarily the most extravagant or personally cherished by our hosts, but they are meticulously chosen to underscore their impact on both the watch industry and collectors alike.
