When you talk about luxury Swiss watches, you think of Patek Philippe, Rolex, Breitling, Panerai, Tag Heuer and so on. However, if the topic is about classic watches, the first thing you will think of is definitely Rolex. Rolex has a high reputation in the world, and every Rolex watch is a classic. Rolex watches don’t have complications and they don’t have a stylish look. But every Rolex watch is a classic of classics. Rolex replica watches that never go out of fashion have always been very popular.
In addition to Rolex, there are of course many other classic Swiss watch brands, some of which have even been around longer than Rolex. Now let’s take a look at 5 other timeless classic replica watches for men.
Replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Born in 1881, Audemars Piguet has had a history of over 100 years and has released many famous watches. Among them, the Royal Oak watches are the most popular and the most classic. The Royal Oak was born in 1972 at the Basel International Watch and Jewellery Fair and was designed by Gerald Genta. Moreover, replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watches are one of the first luxury sports watches in the world. Although Royal Oak watches are made of stainless steel, they cost the same as expensive gold watches. What’s even more incredible is that the Royal Oak watches were designed overnight. Inspired by traditional diver’s helmets, the design of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak features an octagonal bezel. This explains the presence of eight visible hexagonal screws on the octagonal bezel. Additionally, Royal Oak watches have an awesome Salmon dial. The pattern of squares inside the dial is called “Grande Tapisserie”. The convex square has a line pattern, while the concave part has a textured pattern. To date, this Audemars Piguet watch collection is only available in three dial colors: blue, grey, and black. The blue AAA replica watches are very popular, but I prefer the grey. Because the grey dial is a kind of universal watch, it can be used with any type of clothing. The fake Audemars Piguet Royal Oak also features a bold and innovative one-piece bracelet. The selling point of a luxury sports watch is its versatility and ease of use.Audemars Piguet Royal Oak are sports watches that are better suited to casual clothing, but they look good when worn with a suit on a formal occasion. Royal Oak replica watches didn’t start out with recognition, but they are now a huge international success and are one of the most iconic watches ever made. Replica Patek Philippe Nautilus Patek Philippe launched the Nautilus in 1976. the first steel sports watch was not the Nautilus but the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. The two luxury replica watches were oddly similar in appearance, as they were both designed by Gerald Genta. The Nautilus watches name comes from the submarine featured in Jules Verne’s classic novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. Captain Nemo’s submarine was equipped with oval portholes. The distinctive shape of fake Patek Philippe Nautilus watches also attracts attention and becomes their signature. The unusual shape of the case is inspired by the portholes, the round octagonal bezel and the “ears” on the case are hinged on one side and closed on the other. The bezel is neither the usual round nor rectangular shape, but rather a sleek octagonal shape with the sides curved outwards. Nautilus cheap replica watches are also characterized by embossed horizontal grooves on the dial and an integrated metal bracelet that enhances the legibility of the watch.

Blancpain, for the most part, is the epitome of a brand that has become very well known for a very specific facet of their business. When you think Blancpain, the mind immediately wanders to dive watches, the Fifty Fathoms and so forth, however there’s much more to the Swatch Group-Owned house than that.
A Brief History of Blancpain in 8 FactsA longstanding history, interesting changes in leadership, and other moves within the company that often went against the grain of convention give Blancpain one of those interesting backstories that makes owning one of their creations that more rewarding for those “in the know”. After some rummaging through the brand’s archives, here are a handful of interesting factoids about one of the fathers of the modern-day dive watch. More Than Just DivingWhile the bulk of Blancpain’s notoriety stems from the diving world, this is not the only lifestyle category in which the brand is a major player. The brand has actually had significant involvement in Motorsport since 2010. Though not as heavily publicized as Formula One or the Rolex 24h at Daytona, Blancpain has been the core sponsor of a number of FIA GT competitions through the years, starting with the Blancpain Endurance Series in 2010, followed by a GT Sprint series not long thereafter. As of 2013 the two series fold under a single banner as the Blancpain GT Series, which includes 10 races throughout Europe at legendary race tracks including Monza, Silverstone, Brands Hatch, Spa-Francorchamps, and the famed Nurburgring. Technically The Oldest This one came as a bit of a surprise, but according to records, Blancpain holds title as officially being the oldest registered watchmaking brand. In 1735, Jehan-Jacques Blancpain recorded his watchmaking business in the official property register of the municipality of Villeret, making himself the earliest in on record to have done so. By 1815 his grandson was industrializing the watchmaking process of the brand’s facility, and later that century the company continued to invest in infrastructure in order to survive as the American industrialization of watchmaking put the Swiss watch industry under significant stress. The Roots of Ocean CommitmentBlancpain’s Ocean Commitment watches have only been around a short while, but the brand’s longstanding commitment to preserving marine ecology has significantly deeper roots. Having created a range of noteworthy tool-focused dive watches throughout the decades, Blancpain often had hands in research expeditions throughout the globe. In more recent years the brand has been investing more and more resources to supporting conservation efforts, becoming the sponsor of the World Oceans Summit as of 2012, as well as providing funding to scientific expeditions and producing the annual Edition Fifty Fathoms underwater photography book since 2008 as further means of amplifying undersea awareness. The Biver Rebirth You all know of Jean Claude Biver’s exploits with the rampant success of Hublot and general growth of the LVMH watch division, but long before then he became one of the three new owners of Blancpain in 1983. The acquisition made by Biver and Jacques Piguet came when the company was in dire straits, and the quartz crisis had already led so many other legacy brands to fold. It’s hard to imagine that just 12 years prior in 1971, the brand hand seen annual production figures climb to over 200,000 pieces per year, Countering the QuartzUnder the guidance of Biver and Piguet, an unorthodox approach was set forth. Rather than folding to the reality of quartz calibers taking over, the duo pushed back in the opposite direction. Having then been in the business of producing fairly complex calibers for some time, it was decided that Blancpain was to retain a focus on exclusivity. Grande Complications were the name of the game, culminating in the launch of the 1735. Boasting a combination of a minute repeater, a tourbillon, a perpetual calendar, a moon phase indication, and flyback chronograph, the 1735 was a tribute to the traditions of watchmaking that many in the era thought were going to be lost forever. 100 Meters, No Screw-Down CrownAs Blancpain was developing the original Fifty Fathoms, they ran up against one key challenge. With Rolex having patented the screw-down crown, they were forced to integrate a new dual-gasket crown system in order to preserve water tightness at depth. While they were able to achieve the rating, their R&D team decided it would be best to have some semblance of a warning system, should their watches face an unplanned ingress of water. The end result came in the form of a large moisture indicator at the six o’clock position—a feature that soon became a standard requirement with the U.S. Navy the brand was then supplying. This unique trait was carried forward to the latest Tribute To Fifty Fathoms that launched in 2017, and remains unreplicated throughout the dive watch category. Rare Crafts and EroticaMuch like Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe, Blancpain has an entire division dedicated to rare crafts (or Metiers D’Arts) that regularly works with engraving, enameling, and other unique and antiquated forms. Most notably though, not long after the Biver/Piguet acquisition it was decided that the brand would foray into the world of erotic watches with a series of unique automata minute repeaters. Taking a rather discreet approach, the dial side of these watches are quite traditional, often featuring enamel dials and roman numeral indices. On the “business end”, an elaborate automata depicting the sensual act of a client’s choosing (created upon order) appears in gold. The Tourbillon Versus Carrousel DebateThough the tourbillon has become beyond widespread, its sibling the carrousel (a similar mechanical complication created in order to counteract the impacts of gravity) has long remained a little more under the radar. Somewhere around 2010, during the beginnings of the real “tourbillon boom”, Blancpain decided to focus its efforts on the carrousel as a means if distinguishing their high watchmaking division from the pack. The idea never really took off, but it did lead to the birth of the Blancpain Tourbillon Carrousel—a watch that uses both complications, and aside from just being a fascinating timepiece, gives its wearer a closer look at the differences between the two designs. The Aquis Date is Oris’ bestseller, and it’s not difficult to see why. A classic design, with some tasteful colourways and good case sizes, paired with the choice of a classic bracelet or a sportier rubber strap and at a reasonable price tag is certainly a recipe for success. But to make things better, it is also the first watch that Oris picked to feature the spanking new calibre 400. The movement features a five-day or 120-hour power reserve, high resistance to magnetism, recommended service intervals of 10 years, and a 10-year warranty. Looking at the figures, one can tell that the movement was created for longevity and with a customer-first approach in mind. The fuss-free Aquis Date Calibre 400 comes in a 43.5mm stainless steel case that has a 300m water resistance rating, making it a true blue diver.
02. Zenith Defy El Primero 21 Land Rover Defender Edition: The Beast Within The Beauty The Defy 21 is a high performance, modern take on the esteemed El Primero movement that pushes its legacy onto a newer audience. This draws several parallels with what Land Rover has done to bring the iconic Defender in the 21st century. The launch of this watch coincided with the release of the new Defender, and just like the off-roader, the watch also presents a few significant changes. A stark departure from the Defy’s busy open-worked dial, Zenith has taken a more conservative route with a slate grey, velvet-finish dial. It perfectly matches the 44mm matte-grey, micro-blasted titanium case. This dramatically muted monochromatic construction is wonderfully contrasted by the tasteful orange accents on the sub-dial hands and the dial, along with the orange band on the crown. The watch appropriately uses Zenith’s signature movement, the ultra-accurate, high-frequency El Primero 21. The certified chronometer movement has a 50-hour power reserve. But the real fun begins when you actuate the chronograph complication. On doing so, a 50Hz beast is awakened to measure 1/100th of a second! The 21 has two escapements—one for the main timekeeping and one for the chronograph. The former operates at 36,000vph, while the latter works at a mind-boggling 3,60,000vph!

Bulgari Octo Finissimo Automatic—Thin Is In The Octo Finissimo line of watches is up there with the horological elites for its razor-sharp thinness and what the team over at Bulgari painstakingly went through to achieve it. Apart from being one of the pinnacles of haute horlogerie, ultra-thin watches are also unbelievably comfortable on the wrist, with the user barely being able to comprehend the weight and dimensions of the timepiece. Our pick here is the stainless steel Octo Finissimo Automatic, an Octo that retains all of the good fusion of edgy Italian design and Swiss engineering, paired with an exquisite satin-brushed stainless steel case. It is powered by the famed BVL 138 Finissimo movement that measures a mere 2.23mm and yet delivers an extraordinarily impressive 60-hour power reserve. The watch itself is 6.40mm thick, and a balanced case size of 40mm hints at the versatility of the Octo, making this the perfect watch for a gentlemen appreciative of the extreme limits of watchmaking in a handsome package. 04. The Girard-Perregaux Laureato Chronograph-- The Versatile Sport WatchAnother solid 42mm watch that’ll suit your daily-wear requirements, this watch is slightly sportier than its three-hand counterpart, owing to its chronograph feature and blue accents. While this dial is in white, it still features the signature Clous de Paris pattern of the Laureato collection, while forming the perfect backdrop for the black sub-dials with snailed finishing, offering contrast not just in colour, but through texture as well. The ‘panda’ dial has 30-minute and 12-hour chronograph counters at nine and six, while the small seconds is at three o’clock. Constructed from superior 904L steel, which is distinguished by its high chromium content, this watch is water resistant to 100m. An integrated bracelet, also in steel and with finishing that reflects true integration, completes the look. The movement powering this chronograph watch is a self-winding mechanical calibre offering a power reserve of at least 46 hours. 05. An Ode To Discovery—The Louis Moinet Geograph A chronograph tailor-made for the modern day, despite being inspired by the 1820s, the Louis Moinet Geograph is a chronograph that wows with its practical yet elegant design aesthetic. Inside the 45.5mm stainless steel case is an exquisite brown dial with a striking guilloche decoration. At 12 o’clock, one can see the 30-minute counter, while at six o’clock rests the 12-hour counter. At nine o’clock is a date indicator. A sinuous central hand with a red tip points to the periphery of the watch, which is coloured blue for night time and gold for day, representing the second time zone. The chronograph pushers have atlas motifs, taking us back in time to the days when the world was at the cusp of the discovery of new lands through sea voyages. Powering the timepiece is a self-winding mechanism that offers a power reserve of 48 hours. The watch comes with a brown Louisiana alligator leather strap with a stainless steel buckle that looks fetching against the brown dial. 06. On A Galactic Scale: The Urwerk UR Satellite UR-100 SpaceTime GunMetal Are you the kind of person who’s fascinated by space? Would you like a little piece of the heavens above on your wrist? Look no further than the Urwerk UR-100 Space Time GunMetal , where time and space are truly each other’s better halves. As with all of Urwerk’s Satellite timepieces, here too we have wandering hours and minutes—a display configuration that truly sets Urwerk apart from the rest. The wandering hour indication sits on a carousel with three ‘satellites’ with three numerals each. What makes this watch truly special, however, is that this timepiece also provides space geeks with astronomical indications. When the minute hand has completed its 60-minute journey, it reappears on a 20-minute scale (located at 10 o’clock) of 555km—this is the distance one travels in 20 minutes if one is standing on the equator of Earth. The scale on the opposite side (at two o’clock) does you one better—it tracks your journey through space around the sun, which is 35,740km every 20 minutes. Driving these indications is the brand’s calibre 12.01. While these indications might not have any practical use in our day-to-day lives, they do show us how we’re a small part of the bigger picture, and that’s always something to think about. 07. The Best Of An Icon: Girard-Perregaux’s Classic Bridges The Bridges are Gerard-Peregrine's pride and joy, with a motif of their bridge design also included in their brand’s emblem. The origins of the Bridges go back to the 1800s when the Swiss watchmakers developed a Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges, which became the bases of the mechanism’s construction, exposed as they were to instantly become a signature of the brand. The Bridges collection has since been reinterpreted in various materials and even sportier editions, but the contemporary Classic Bridges best represents the early editions of this iconic collection. Set in a 40mm case in pink gold, the Classic Bridges offers sheer contrast with its open-worked mechanism that exposes components in steel, forming the perfect backdrop for the bridges and hands in hues to match the case and the suspending indexes. The automatic calibre, offering a power reserve of 48 hours, can also be seen through the transparent caseback in sapphire crystal. we were able to make a lot of customers happy with a new watch strap.
