Military-issued 1:1 UK replica watches are an integral part of many heritage watch brands’ histories. Alan Seymour rounds up his favourite current combat timepieces made for civilian customers.
Replica IWC Big Pilot’s Watches Top Gun Edition “Mojave Desert”
Forming part of IWC’s beloved Top Gun collection, a partnership between IWC and the United States Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor Course aka Top Gun, is the ‘Mojave Desert’ iteration of the AAA wholesale fake IWC Big Pilot’s Watches.
Drawing inspiration from the namesake desert home of the US Navy’s primary R&D base, Air Weapons Station China Lake, a combat-ready monochrome sand-camouflage colour scheme has been used throughout the 46mm ceramic-cased high quality copy watches.
The Big Pilot itself – with its hallmark oversized case, ‘onion’ crown, oversized hands and Arabic hour markers – dates back to the Second World War and was initially used by Luftwaffe flight crew.
Fake Panerai Radiomir Tre Giorni Watches
Perfect replica Panerai’s Radiomir is the patriarch of the military-issue diver’s watches. First produced under the Royal Italian Navy’s commission in 1935, the timepiece saw action throughout the second world war.
The Tre Gironi is a modern continuation of the first Radiomirs. The fan favourites are all here: signature ‘sandwich’ dial (comprising luminous material pressed between two sheets of metal, visible through cut-out hour markers), wire lugs and a cushion-shape case.
But, to evoke the look and feel of an aged ‘Radiomir-prime’, one can also observe a case that’s been left unpolished, caramel-coloured luminescence, an ombré grained dial and, a sapphire crystal domed to resemble old-school 1930s’ plexiglass.
Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition Replica Watches
With a starring role in the latest James Bond film, No Time To Die (2021), the luxury 2024 fake Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition watches was designed in collaboration with the movie’s production team and Daniel Craig himself.
Adaptations made for the 007 Edition Omega Seamaster super clone watches for men include: a ‘sharkproof’ mesh bracelet or striped NATO strap, Grade 2 Titanium construction, and faux-vintage lume.
A ‘broad arrow’ dial logo and a caseback engraved with Royal Navy stock codes have been added in direct reference to the Bond character’s military career.
Seamasters ordered by the Royal Navy between 1966-70, in fact, bore the original broad arrow and stock code markings borrowed for the 007 Edition.
TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 Night Diver Fake Watches
Re-launched in 2021, TAG’s Night Diver was originally issued to French Marine Nationale divers in limited quantities during the 1980s and 1990s.
No doubt the Navy frogmen found the top Swiss made replica watches‘ full-lumed dial to be a useful and pragmatic feature in the low-light undersea conditions they operated in.
The current version also boasts a self-winding calibre housed in a 43mm black DLC-coated case and is supplied on a rubber strap with micro-adjust deployant. Joining the Seamaster as a member of the ‘Bond watch’ fraternity, the OG Night Diver’s cameo on the wrist of Timothy Dalton in the opening scene of The Living Daylights is of additional note.
