Five top homage replica watches in 2019
We found that “homage watch” has been the main trend in watch field these years, which are modern replica watches explicitly designed to recall a special model or family from a brand’s past. Since vintage watches become more and more popular, contemporary watchmakers are trying their best to design new collections on their former all-stars. There is no doubt that the results can be incredible once done well. To follow the trend here we collect few samples for your reference.
Cara Barrett – Omega Seamaster 1948 Limited Edition
The limited edition was showed stunningly at Baselworld this year. Omega created two vintage-inspired collections to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Seamaster. Each has a 38mm steel case, a domed crystal, and a METAS-certified movement. In the metal, these watches are quite graceful and do a great job of being modern interpretations of a vintage classic. In general, Omega produces far more sporty watches under the Seamaster collection which are very beautiful, vintage-inspired timepiece also refresh your sight.
Jon Bues – Mido Multifort Datometer
With just 1,918 pieces, this limited edition was designed to mark Mido’s centenary this year, which is not only one of the best-looking vintage homages of this year, but also one of the most attractively priced, at just $1,350. Aesthetically, this 40mm automatic replica watch with pointer date certainly gets the early-20th-century look right, even with its larger case size. The case itself is also rather slim at 11.85mm, which means that it really does wear like a dress watch. What’s more, the movement inside is one of very best affordable calibers currently being offered by the Swatch Group, a modified ETA automatic with a full 80 hours of power reserve. If I have one cavil, it’s that the Multifort Datometer watch features a gold PVD case. It would make us excited to see a simple steel version of this watch for the same price or even less.
