Last month, the best fake Omega Speedmaster Flight Qualified pilot’s watch leaked on social media. Normally, we don’t respond to leaks or rumors, but the number of questions we received about this watch was (and still is) getting out of hand. At least for now, this new Omega Speedmaster pilot’s watch is only available to US military pilots. Apparently, according to one of the pilots involved, who is also active on the UK high quality replica Omega Forums platform, you need to be able to prove that you are a winged aviator, pilot, or navigator to purchase one of these watches. Without further ado, let’s dive into this practically unattainable Speedmaster Flight Qualified watch!
Swiss Made Replica Omega Speedmaster Flight Qualified pilot’s watch
The initial thought I had when seeing this watch was that it was a nod to the famous cheap super clone Omega Flightmaster models (1969–1977). The Flightmaster was a watch for pilots rather than astronauts (or race car drivers) and used different colors to indicate the functions of the hands. Whereas the Flightmaster had different versions with either red or yellow hands, the Speedmaster Flight Qualified shows both. Red/orange is for the chronograph functions, and yellow is for the running seconds.
Then, there’s the chronograph seconds hand with a plane-shaped tip. This shape was also present on the Flightmaster’s dual-time hand. Some of the Mark-series Speedmasters and the X-33 had this aircraft-shaped hand as well. You can even see some shop replica Omega Speedmaster Speedy Tuesday “Ultraman” influences on the dial of this new straight-lug Speedmaster watch. It’s a bold mix, but it somehow looks good. As I mentioned above, we’ve received a ton of questions about this watch, which indicates that many feel this way.
Caliber 9900 in a smaller case
An official document has been floating around and shared on the forums, indicating a caliber 9900-based chronograph with two counters on the dial. It is interesting to learn that this 9900-powered watch has a mere 40.85mm diameter. This demonstrates that UK top fake Omega can make a smaller-sized Speedmaster with its in-house Master Chronometer-certified movement. Just like the Speedmaster Professional Speedy Tuesday “Tribute to Alaska III,” the entire case of this watch has a brushed finish. It underlines the “tool watch” look and feel, and perhaps it’s also best for pilots to have a watch that won’t reflect light.
Case back for engraved wings and patches
In the document, you will see the luxury replica Omega Speedmaster Flight Qualified pilot’s watch available on a NATO strap (as seen in the wrist shots) and on the Speedmaster Apollo 11/Ed White bracelet. But it also shows a case back with engraved US Navy wings. Another slide shows a range of examples for wings (US Army, US Navy, and US Air Force). The example above uses the name of Charles Laevens, but to end the discussion around that name, he’s the head of retail, operations, and training in the USA for online copy Omega. Therefore, his name was merely used to create an example piece of what’s possible when someone or a group orders this watch.
