Watches & Pencils #18 - Olympic WatchesOlympic WatchesSince we're also in the center of the Olympics 2016 I believed it may be nice to publish a Watches & Pencils special with a gold angle. We examine some (historic) 'Olympic replica watches' and try to reveal their sportive 'core'. The majority of replica watches are usually rare i really had to search for for pictures on forums and shops. I must thank everyone who gave permission to use their pictures in this article.HistoryWhen you do a random look on the world wide web for a sport related watch you may hit one that is related to the Olympics eventually. Usually the watch is going to be an Omega. Once we keep an eye on in to the good reputation for the Olympics it is in reality quite logical. After all rolex retail prices , Omega is official timekeeper since 1932. Though there can also be brands who are partner from the games, Omega will be the overall 'winner'. Let's talk about Omega a lttle bit down the line while keeping your focus on some less obvious Olympic replica watches first. Some with photos, others not on the other hand wouldn't allow you to miss it.Limited editionsThe nice benefit of the Olympics for watch aficionados is the fact that just about every timekeeping partner releases a limited edition using this big event. Sometimes the watch is a complete new model, but many of the time the brand releases a pre-existing watch/series with adjusted palettes. Some interesting years with Olympic replica watches are:1964 - Olympic Games in Japan (Tokyo) - Seiko - Monopusher (ref. 5719). Highly collectible watch by Seiko and that is definitely worth to have a look at - View pictures via Google1972 - Olympic Games in Germany (Munich) - Junghans - model: Olympic Bullhead (review below)2000 - Olympic Games in Sydney (Australia) - Swatch - model: NOVA (ref. GZ158) - One of the very most colorful replica watches for that Olympics available. With Aboriginal artwork to underline the ancestors of Australia. View pictures via Google Junghans Bullhead. Photo credit: wannabuyawatch.com Junghans Bullhead. Photo credit: wannabuyawatch.com Junghans Bullhead. Photo credit: wannabuyawatch.comBullhead EggA very distinctive egg-shaped stainless-steel chronograph using the famous 'bullhead'. A design for comfortable and accessible time keeping and chronograph operations. With all the typical vertical tapered case regarding thickness. Like all kinds of other bullheads, this watch also has hidden lugs. Flavored with funky colors it commits to what was hot in the seventies.  Vibrant white / carrot accents together with a sunburst smoke-grey center. The orange faded to some more brownish color. Ever since the manual wound Valjoux 7734 movement (caliber Junghans 688.10) is rotated by 90 degrees look for the sub dials at 12 and 6 o'clock. Unlike many Olympic replica watches, this fake rolex watches watch isn't overexposing the fact it is bound to your Olympics. The only subtle reference we discover just beneath the logo within the dial: 'olympic'. This probably is not the ultimate pick for everyone, but it is funky, sportive and distinctive.Multiple brandsAlthough there is often one primary official timekeeper for most Olympics nowadays, that has been not absolutely true. In 1972 by way of example. Junghans was the state timekeeper coupled with Longines. But Certina also launched some replica watches having an Olympic flavor. The Certina chrono DS2 "Chronolympic" to name one (ref. 8501800).Longines Conquest Munich 1972 (ref. 8612-1) Longines Monopusher. Photo credit: AWCO.nl Longines Monopusher. Photo credit: AWCO.nl Longines Monopusher tag watches . Photo credit: AWCO.nlLongines released this 36mm mono-pusher particularly for the games. Much like the Junghans Bullhead this watch can be colorful with cobalt and pumpkin tones. It displays elapsed seconds while using contrasting needle shaped hand and minutes around the sub dial. Due the absence of an hour counter plus the minute counter at 3 the lay-out becomes asymmetrical. Inside ticks the manual wound Longines caliber 334, depending on the Valjoux 236 movement (column-wheel). I prefer to call true a semi-tonneau. It isn't really a regular barrel shaped case, though the round head connects almost seamless to the (hidden) lugs-part for both sides. Also when viewed from the side, just like most of the barrels do. The only mention of games can be obtained on the caseback. Not extravagant, but every one of the components of 20th the Olympic Games are available.Winter GamesBesides the Olympic games there are several other big sport events with replica watches involved. The Asian Games and Winter games one example is. When i was in search of pictures, Ken of Wannabuyawatch.com did take a look at a Longines with the Winter Games of 1960. Longines Conquest. Photo credit: wannabuyawatch.com Longines Conquest. Photo credit: wannabuyawatch.com Longines Conquest. Photo credit: wannabuyawatch.comIt is usually a special model from your Conquest series having a unique case back. A real rare piece i always couldn't find on the web until this day. It's definitely dressier than many of the Olympic replica watches we've seen this far. With 35mm it's moderately sized for your 1960's. The crown is signed using the name over a circular text-path. It is modest plus proportion using the case. The dial incorporates a classic lay-out which falls from the same category as other dress replica watches from this time (e.g. Omega Constellation (ref. 14381) and IWC Ingenieur (ref. 56662).Conquest Design FeaturesA quick breakdown: mirror polished dauphine practical a white spatial dial with very decorative and animations raised hour markers. The markers create a nice depth towards the dial and add a little excitement in terms of light and shadow. Though, it still is somewhat of a sports watch. Hence, the applied luminova at the hour markers and so on hands. As indicated about the dial, it truly is driven by a mechanical movement (probably caliber 290).Gold MedalThe front is balanced, clear and dressy however the main uniqueness is positioned on the back in this watch. watches In the center Longines placed a gold medal with enamel colored parts for your 1960 Squaw Valley Winter Olympics. We immediately recognize the Olympic rings into your logo to the games of the 1960 Winter Games. Unfortunately, the rest of the reputation of this watch is unknown in my opinion. Could it have been for sportsman or coaches? Did everyone get yourself a watch or perhaps the winners using a gold medal? If you have more information we would like to read your comments!Present and Past of Omega and the Olympic GamesThis year Omega would be the official timekeeper again. With the 27th time for it to be exact. With it's 450 a ton of equipment they're one of many vital parts of the Olympics. To match it together with the new: in 1932 Omega did send only 1 technician with 30 chronographs (Olympics in Are generally). That of a difference!Omega Olympic WatchesOmega released lots of limited editions as time passes of partnership. This coming year isn't the best. They released a number limited 'Rio' editions based upon existing cornerstone models. Often with color alterations or gold accents to have a reference to the Olympic symbol/colors or even the true winning color: gold. They love to it the 'Olympic collection'. Comprehend the "2016 Rio" collection as well as past/future games collections.Omega Seamaster 1956To conclude I must leave activity is that has a special Omega that has been unveiled in me by Jacco of Amsterdam Watch Company. A small (33mm) gold Seamaster to celebrate the Olympic games from 1956 (XVI or 16th edition). That has a manufacture of only 100 Olympic replica watches this piece is really a rare watch. In the center of the dial we find the 'Olympic Cross of Merrit' that is applied with Chinese lacquer. There are 2 variations made: one with multi-color rings then one with simply red 'Olympic' rings. The illustration is really a mention of medal which had been presented to Omega in the previous 15th Olympic Games in Helsinki as a reward for outstanding want to the joy of sports. About the snapped case back we look for a simplified version of the Olympic Cross.Unique FeaturesTo indicate some improvements: the octagon shaped crown, dauphine hands, highly decorative hour markers and organic shaped turtle lugs. Inside ticks the 25 RA SC-471 automatic movement. Enable the pictures speak for their own reasons: Omega Seamaster. Photo credit: AWCO.nl Omega Seamaster. Photo credit: AWCO.nl Omega Seamaster.
