How is the BLS factory Apollo 8 rocket replica watch 310.92.44.50.01.001?
As a classic commemorative model of the Omega Speedmaster collection, this watch with the model number 310.92.44.50.01.001 has won the hearts of many watch enthusiasts with its space-themed design inspired by the Apollo 8 rocket. The Omega replica watch launched by BLS has a very high degree of appearance restoration, and both the texture and the wearing effect are excellent. How are the details of its workmanship? Now let’s take a look at the overall performance of this watch.
The eye-catching black skeletonized dial design
The dial design of this watch is the most eye-catching. The BLS factory uses the same black anodized aluminum material as the original version. This material has a very unique texture, presenting a matte effect that is low-key and reserved. The dial is designed with a hollowed-out design, giving it a highly modern texture. The dial also features uneven textures, perfectly recreating the terrain texture on the front of the moon. Under the refraction of light, the watch shows a delicate concave-convex texture. The details of the BLS factory are done very well. The yellow of the chronograph second hand is rich and bright, with the same color effect as the original version. One half of the hour hand is black, while the other half is coated with luminous material. The stick-shaped hour markers are neatly polished, of uniform size and arranged in an orderly layout. At the 6 o ‘clock position on the small seconds dial, the 3D “Saturn V” small rocket hand is the soul. The combination of laser turning, white paint coating and blackening process makes the detailed outline of the rocket clearly distinguishable. The exquisite feeling when it rotates is completely different from that of a thousand-yuan replica. There are three small chronograph bezels on the dial. The most distinctive one is the small seconds dial at the nine o ‘clock position. There is a 3D stereoscopic “Saturn V” small rocket pointer on it, perfectly echoing the space theme of this time. The Outlines of the rockets made by BLS factory are clearly visible, and the details are also well restored. The second hand moves very delicately and beautifully. Judging from the performance of the dial, this watch can be regarded as a high-quality replica.
How is the workmanship of the case and the strap?
The 44.25mm diameter of the watch perfectly matches the original version. The case of this watch is made of black ceramic material and has a distinct brushed finish on it. The processing is natural and delicate, and it doesn’t have the roughness of that cheap replica watch when touched. Its chamfered edges have been polished, making them smooth and not rough to the touch. The texture difference from the original version is very small. The bezel is also made of black ceramic, with clear bright white tachometer scales on it. The strap is a micro-perforated leather belt with a yellow rubber lining, and the material combination is exactly the same as the original version. The softness of the watch strap is excellent. Even when you first put it in your hand, there won’t be a stiff feeling. It fits your wrist well without the need for any break-in. There is also a practical adjustable buckle design on it, which can be adjusted according to the thickness of the wrist. The only minor drawback is that the breathability of the belt is just average. The restoration degree of the case and the strap is quite good.
The movement and performance of replica watches
The BLS factory’s matching is a self-developed and modified manual movement, and the chronograph function of the watch can be used normally. The winding feels smooth without any lag. Its power reserve time is sufficient. It is enough to go on the chain once a day for daily commuting. The timing function is simple and smooth to operate. The two timing buttons are pressed clearly, and the actions of the second hand starting, pausing and resetting are crisp and decisive. I observed for a while. The daily error of the watch is around 10 seconds, which is a normal level. It does not affect timing or time reading at all in daily use. It also has waterproof performance, so there is no need to worry about daily life scenarios such as washing hands and splashing water in the rain. However, it is recommended to take off the watch when taking a bath or swimming, as its water resistance is still somewhat inferior to the original version. The overall performance of this watch is quite good and it is worth recommending.
