Tool Classics: UK Swiss Replica Omega Speedmaster and Fake Breitling Aerospace

These two high end replica watches are my most no-nonsense, ever-capable tool watches. Both pack several features beyond basic timekeeping. I don’t need to say much about my Omega Speedmaster, as there’s not much you haven’t heard about it already. My luxury fake Omega Speedmaster (there are many like it, but this one is mine) is a 2000–2001 reference 3570.50.00. Inside, the classic 1861 movement keeps time well, gaining only a few seconds each day.

This was my first big watch purchase. At least the first that went beyond three-figure sums I had previously spent (€465 being the previous benchmark). I saw it as a commitment. Not just to ownership of the watch, but to watch enthusiasm itself. When I first put my Speedmaster on, I felt for the first time that I was serious about Swiss made replica watches. Almost two years later, it still puts a smile on my face every time I wear it.

A more recent purchase, my UK 1:1 fake Breitling Aerospace F65362 has become an unexpected favorite in my collection. After (somewhat impulsively) buying it in November of 2021, I had a hard time wanting to wear anything else. It was slim, lightweight, and distinctly purposeful. Yet despite its aeronautical roots and rather stark aesthetics, I always find the Aerospace to be an undeniably fun super clone watch. The thing has a built-in digital minute repeater that tells the time with a series of beeps at a press of the crown. I have not yet written a full article about it on Fratello, as I want to do it the justice that (I feel) it deserves. But I’m sure it will be on the site sooner rather than later. A bit of an oddball frankenwatch version of the cheap replica Breitling F65362, I absolutely love my Aerospace.
