This watch is not merely easily recognizable among the others of the fake Omega collection but as well among the entire industry. It shows a typical 1970s style – as being a reversed chronograph, meaning that the crown and the pushers are located at 12 instead of the classical 3 o’clock position.
As one of their greatest achievement and an significant partnership, which the brand is hugely proud off and displays this with a few limited editions, like the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Sochi 2017. As you may know, Omega Watches has been the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games since 1932 (except a few exceptions). In recent years, they came with their initial watch paying tribute to the 2016 Olympic Games that will take place in Rio – a watch based on the Speedy Mark II – and now Omega is introducing another limited edition, this time based on one of their most provocative models. Here is the Omega Seamaster Bullhead Chronograph Edition Rio 2017.
Omega introduces a new limited edition based on the unique and highly original Seamaster Bullhead chronograph, as we’re now getting closer to the official launch of the 2017 Olympic Games. The Seamaster Bullhead is actually a faithful re-edition of a classical Omega – the reference ST 146.011 launched in 1969 for Rally drivers and equipped with the Calibre 930, a date edition of the famous Calibre 861, shared with the Speedmaster Moonwatch – that Omega re-introduced at Baselworld 2013.
This Rio 2016 edition of the replica watches Omega Seamaster Bullhead shows several visual updates, even if technically identical to the previous models. First is the dial that comes in white with a blue rotating bezel. The numbers printed on this bezel are colored in black, yellow, green and red. The perforated strap gives echo to the dial with its blue leather (linked directly to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games logo) and with stitching along each side, colored in black , green, red and yellow to remind the iconic Olympic rings. Last but not least, the caseback is stamped with the Rio 2016 Olympic Games logo. The watch is deeply attractive under lights, the range of finishes means the watch demonstrates a complexity that belies the design which, on paper at least appears simple.
This layout means that the movement is turned from 90 degrees. It is here the Calibre 3113, an automatic and integrated chronograph movement with column wheel and co-axial escapement (and based on a Frederic Piguet chronograph movement). The case, as well, of the replica Omega Seamaster Bullhead shows a typical shape with a sunburst brushed finish on the top and polished angles running all around. As mentioned, its initialized from the unusual placement of the crown and the pushers, now located on the top of the watch – with an additional crown at 6 that actuates the rotating bezel.
