The 1970s were renowned for their difficulty when it comes to the traditional Swiss AAA replica watches industry, being thoroughly disrupted by the introduction of the Seiko Astron just before the turn of the decade. Picking up where the 1960s left off, the 1970s continued the boom, with the advent of video games and cassettes, and two little-known companies by the name of Microsoft and Apple being founded. American and Japanese watch companies ushered in new technologies such as LED and LCD, but it was also a time during which numerous established Swiss manufacturers died out. Only the most well-established few weathered the storm of the quartz crisis, but would go on to redefine luxury watchmaking forever.

Replica Omega Seamaster 600 PloProf Watches

You thought developments in the dive watch space were limited to just the 1950s? Think again – as Omega did with the UK perfect replica Omega Seamaster 600 Plongeur Professionnel watches, famously dubbed the PloProf. Mind you, Omega already had the Seamaster 300 in its catalogue, a watch more than capable of being submerged for prolonged periods. Conceived by Omega’s Marine Unit in the late 1960s, the Seamaster 600 was developed alongside the larger Seamaster 1000, though only the former was attributed the PloProf name. Aesthetics clearly weren’t the primary consideration, as Omega sought to create a watch that could be used for saturation diving at extreme depths. Through the brand’s testing, the cheap replica watches failed at well past a kilometer due to the deformation of the crystal. The monobloc case was a rarity at the time, as was the utilitarian bezel locking system by the way of the red button, but the real advance was in the use of Uranus steel, today known as 904L. Best UK copy Omega’s modern PloProf watches is titanium, a material that was in such short supply in the 1970s that the US secretly had to buy it from the Russians to build the iconic SR71 Blackbird. All in the name of progress, hey?

Fake Rolex Explorer II ref. 1655 Watches

Certain luxury replica watches are designed to fulfil a unique purpose, and the connection between tool and job makes perfect sense. When Rolex released the wholesale online fake Rolex Explorer II reference 1655 watches in 1971, the brand claimed that this was a watch made for spelunking, hence the bright orange hand that would tell you the time in a 24-hour format when spending long periods underground. While this may seem a bit far-fetched today, the 1970s were also a time when recreational caving became much more popular thanks to technological developments that made it safer for those less-experienced. With its orange hand fixed to the hour hand, and a non-rotating bezel, you couldn’t actually track another time zone with the 1655 – though this is something top China Rolex super clone watches would address later. Now highly sought-after by collectors as the Explorer Freccione, the 1655 is also known as the Steve McQueen, though it’s not confirmed that the King of Cool ever actually wore one.
