January was 11 months ago, which feels like a lifetime, and even Watches and Wonders is now well in the past. Luckily, the long-term memory gets help from the internet — first and foremost, our Fratello site archives — to bring the past year to life. Having said that, I can’t help but choose the new Omega Seamaster Diver 300M “Silver Surfer.” Until this Seamaster came out, I thought the perfect replica Omega models on my year-end list would be the white-dial Speedmaster Professional. Still, a date-less Seamaster 300M with a vertically brushed steel dial and a “naked” titanium bezel made me take the Speedy off my list.
The monochromatic yet dynamic best fake Omega Seamaster Diver 300M ref. 210.30.42.20.06.002 is a mishmash of styles that forgoes functionality but works wonders as a stylish sports watch. Its dominant gray guise has a certain energetic lightness because light reflects and is absorbed differently depending on the finishing. The UK high quality copy watches’ many angular details still flaunt its 1993 original design while being fully up to date. Yes, the overall design clearly represents the 1990s; the domed sapphire crystal and the mesh bracelet have a link to eras way before that, but maybe that’s exactly what makes this Seamaster a typical 2024 timepiece.
You get a state-of-the-art METAS-certified in-house-developed movement, excellent finishing and build quality, and a rather fashionable look. That said, the gray dial is also surprisingly readable thanks to the large indexes and distinct open-worked sword-shaped hands filled with white Super-LumiNova. These stand out very clearly against the vertically brushed background. The cheap super clone watches that look good and feels good. That can’t be a bad thing, and it’s historically relevant to boot.
