All right, Jorg, let’s do this! As the two resident Fratello design snobs, I reckon you will have a harder time today than I will. Because, as I see it, I get to defend an underrated classic, while you have to defend an overrated result of commercial product placement. From a pure watch-design perspective, I reckon this should be a clean sweep for the UK perfect fake Omega 2254.
Still, I don’t expect it since I am aware the Bond watch will surely trigger some warm, fuzzy feelings from enthusiasts who grew up in the Brosnan Bond era. Let me try to persuade them otherwise…
Let me start with how the 2254 subtly takes inspiration from UK luxury fake Omega’s rich history. It shares its case with the Bond watch, which features the lyre lugs Omega is famous for. These lyre lugs can be traced back to Huguenin Frères, an external case maker that aaa quality replica Omega used way back.
The sword hands and big triangle at 12 come straight from the 1962 Swiss movement copy Omega Seamaster 300 ref. 165.024. The bracelet references its Moonwatch sibling. All in all, this design is much more firmly anchored in Omega history than the Bond watch.
