seemed to stir the Replica Ulysse Nardin watches emotions of our readers

Just the other day we posted a watch that seemed to stir the Replica Ulysse Nardin watches emotions of our readers.That watch was the ‘Replica’ by Maurice de Mauriac - which pays homage to one of the superstars of the watch world, the Rolex ‘Paul Newman’ Daytona (now we just wouldn’t be Hodinkee if we hadn’t also found a jaw-droppingly amazing example of the real deal for sale, too).Because one of these watches with the name Rolex on the dial goes for the same amount of money as say, a pretty fancy car, a house, or a few spare organs, we can definitely see the appeal of a watch that has similar aesthetics and a smaller pricetag.

Hence the Maurice de Mauriac watch.But Maurice is far from the first watch company to pay tribute to theiconic Daytona.Which brings us to what we’ve found for you today, A limited edition Omega Speedmaster released in 2005 from the (longtime Replica Vacheron Constantin watches brand ambassador, and legendary F1 racer) Michael Schumacher Legend Collection.While we’ve got to admit that it is a little cheeky to have a distinguished watch company such as Omega paying such overt ‘homage’ to an iconic design from another distinguished watch company, we also can’t deny that the result is pretty stunning.And hey, it doesn’t say ‘Replica’ anywhere on the dial .
