Tissot Ballade Fake Watches With New Silicon Balance Springs

Silicon has many, many benefits for watches; anti-magnetism, longevity-of-life, temperature resistance, and not requiring lubricant being among them. However, because of the difficult-to-produce and fragile nature of silicon, hairsprings made of the material have typically been used exclusively in high-end timepieces.

And that is why Tissot unveiling the noble Tissot Ballade replica watches featuring a silicon balance spring and COSC-certified Powermatic 80 movement at Baselworld 2017 is unusual. And the most interesting part of that announcement? It will cost less than a thousand dollars.

Tissot is no stranger to anti-magnetic watches. During the 1930s, they created one of the first anti-magnetic watches with the Tissot Antimagnetique. Ever since then, they’ve been using anti-magnetic components in their watches, so the next natural step would be silicon. That’s not surprising. What’s surprising is the price.

There are seven models of the decent Tissot Ballade fake watches, and while the three ladies’ pieces were reviewed hands-on here back in September, the newest “Gents” models are a bit more masculine with a 39mm or 41mm case. All cases will be in steel with a Clous de Paris-patterned bezel and inner-dial disc, which I find a tasteful nod to the 1930s style.

Both the men’s and women’s watches will feature bi-tone rose-gold and yellow-gold-plated models, with the yellow gold coming on a stainless steel, bi-tone bracelet, and the rose-gold fitted with a brown leather strap on the Gents, and a white leather strap for the ladies.

A full stainless steel case with steel bracelet is also available for both. Each piece has the date window displayed at the 3 o’clock position. While I would normally always go for a bracelet, I find the steel case on black leather to fit the Tissot DNA more than the bi-tone bracelet models. Tissot Ballade copy watches with Swiss mechanical movements are water resistant up to 50m, and all models feature a sapphire crystal and transparent case-back displaying the movement (sorry we don’t have any pictures for you of it from Tissot).

Omega Seamaster Edizione Venezia Fake Watches In Sedna Gold Or Stainless Steel

Out of the blue, Omega today debuted the Omega Seamaster replica watches with white dials, stylish, retro-inspired take on the Seamaster, offered in a highly elegant 39.5mm case, crafted from either Omega’s proprietary 18k Sedna gold or… yes, stainless steel.

On a personal note, the 40mm-wide De Ville Trésor has been probably my favorite modern Omega: it’s classical, restrained, and under-the-radar, but, with its curvy case and dial, it’s plenty interesting for a dress watch. Plus, its Master Co-Axial Chronometer movement delivers all the goodies Omega can engineer into a movement today… So what exactly is the matter with the Trésor? It’s not available in steel but exclusively in —— very pricey ——- gold of different types

Which lead us to the Omega Seamaster Edizione Venezia, new Omega Seamaster fake watches that offer comparably beautiful and restrained styling in classical 39.5mm cases, METAS-certified Master Co-Axial Chronometer movements (now an automatic over the Trésor’s hand-wound), and refreshingly, they do come in Sedna gold and steel. And, if you hadn’t guessed already, there is, of course, a story to go with it as well.

Omega says the idea for the Seamaster’s sea horse logo came when one of Omega’s designers visited Venice and saw the gondolas adorned with this fascinating animal —— he liked the possible connection with it and the Seamaster and, since 1957, the Seahorse emblem has been associated with this collection.

While self-proclaimed Omega historians will certainly know of a few vintage Omega Seamaster copy watches with Swiss mechanical movements from the mid-1900s, I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that most Omega fans and buyers today think not of a vintage dress watch when they hear the word Seamaster.

Yet, this new-for-2017 piece shares numerous design elements with Seamasters of old, reminding everyone that the Seamaster has not always been about chunky, sporty, and colorful. It goes to show that, if you think about it, not only is Omega itself a very versatile and complex brand, but even its collections can be a bit all over the place sometimes.

All Steel Piaget Polo Fake Watches You’ll Want to Wear All Day and Night

As the wants of watch consumers evolve, so, too, must the watchmakers catering to this ever-fickle group of discerning shoppers. Take Piaget, for example. Best known for its record-breaking, ultrathin movements and beautiful mosaic dials ideal for a black-tie evening, the Swiss watchmaker has just introduced the Polo S, its first-ever all-steel collection, starting at $9,350.

The reliable Piaget Polo replica watches reimagine them as a sportier day-into-night timepiece that will surely introduce the brand to a much wider audience of watch lovers. Sure, Piaget had a brief moment with stainless-steel watches 15 years ago as part of its Upstream collection, but the Polo S marks the first complete collection of steel watches ——- not to mention a new opening price point for the brand.

At first glance, its handsome case is most striking. The cushion-shaped dial (note the guilloche dial) is housed within a 42mm round case. But the influence of Piaget’s luxurious Emperador line is also evident. Two styles of Piaget Polo fake watches with Swiss mechanical movements will be available: an automatic in three color variations (blue, gray, and white), and a self-winding Chronograph in two (blue and white).

Piaget has remained true to maintaining the strictest quality standards ——- not the least of which is the inclusion of in-house-made automatic movements especially for these timepieces. The 42mm automatic features the Manufacture Piaget 1110P movement displaying hours, minutes, and seconds, with a date window at six.

The chronograph ($12,400) uses the Manufacture Piaget 1160P self-winding movement and adds two sub-dials, with a 30-minute counter at three and a 12 hour counter at nine. Both movements are visible via a sapphire caseback and Piaget copy watches with stainless steel bracelets are water resistant to 100 meters.
