War of the Worlds: IWC Pilot Replica Watches vs. Montblanc Orbis Terrarum

—-IWC Pilot’s Replica Watches and the Montblanc Heritage Spirit Orbis Terrarum — duke it out on the wrist in this comparative review from Bestwatchesi.com.

How does it go again? Do I set my watch forward or back on my way to China? Is my business partner in Dubai awake or asleep? A world-time watch can answer all such questions.

The IWC Pilot’s Replica Watches look of the IWC Pilot’s Replica Watches conveys both the reason and need for this kind of timepiece. Pilots orient themselves solely on the coordinated world time known as UTC. The Worldtimer is the obvious next step in development from the 1998 IWC pilots’ watch and its second time zone – helping travelers who quickly move through different time zones keep their home time in mind. It can also help managers keep track of business partners in various locations around the world.

The IWC Pilot’s Replica Watches has maintained the look of a typical IWC Pilot’s Replica Watches with its white numerals, markers and hands, clear minutes track and prominent triangular orientation marker at 12 o’clock. The matte, black background improves legibility, and luminous material on essential elements means you can read the watch in the dark. The elongated date window (which mimics the look of an airplane altimeter) is new, as are the city and 24-hour day/night rings for the world-time function. Both adhere to the black-and-white pilots’-watch design code and are just as easy to read as the time. The case is 45 mm in diameter and has a nonreflective sapphire crystal.

The IWC replica has more user-friendly features, but at a higher price, while the Montblanc appeals to the aesthetically minded with its design refinements.

When you travel to another time zone, you adjust the hour to the new local time by using the middle crown position. All other positions (minutes and seconds) will remain unchanged and continue to advance. If the geographical change also includes crossing the International Date Line, the date display will accommodate the change by correctly moving the date forward or back. If a manual date correction is required (e.g., at the end of a month) the middle crown position is used to advance the hour until the correct date is shown.

The IWC replica has several user-friendly features lacking in the Montblanc. These include its seconds hand, date display, daylight-saving feature, higher degree of water resistance (60 meters versus the Montblanc’s 30 meters), extra protection against magnetism, and easy-to-read dial. It also has a much higher price, $8,500*.

In contrast, the IWC Pilot’s Replica Watches appeals to the aesthetically minded with its design-related refinements. Foremost among these is the watch’s attractive world-map dial. The Montblanc’s other visual attractions include the line finish on the case, the raised Montblanc logo on the crown, understated inscriptions on the sapphire caseback, the four screws on the caseback and a double-folding clasp on an alligator strap.

Cheap Omega Replica like satellites over the front side of the exposed, beautifully openworked movement, upon which laser ablation has been employed to decorate both sides of the blackened mainplate and bridges with realistic 3D depictions of the moon’s surface. From the dial side, the effect is executed in a lighter gray shade and echoes the view of the moon that we see from Earth, while the rear side, visible through a clear sapphire caseback window, is darker gray, aping the eponymous “dark side” that only astronauts have ever viewed in person. As one would expect, these realistic lunar details come to life under a loupe, adding a great deal of individualistic character to this Moonwatch.

Legibility-wise, the effect of all this Cheap Omega Replica. The white hour indices and especially the prominent yellow chronograph seconds hand are easy to discern in all lighting conditions. The motion of the running seconds at 9 o’clock is also fairly obvious at a glance, allowing the wearer to check whether the watch is running — an important feature in a manually winding watch. However, the relative thinness of the hour and minute hands — thin enough, in fact, to occasionally get a bit lost among the background details, and at times even obscured by the much more noticeable central seconds hand — was somewhat unexpected. I would have thought these hands would be at least as wide as the indices on which they indicated the time. That said, it is possible that the watch, like some other chronographs, was designed to emphasize the stopwatch functions over the reading of the current time — and of course, the luminous tachymeter scale attests to that as well, allowing the wearer to time racing speeds even in the dark if he wishes.

Speaking of the case’s backside, whose sapphire window affords a view of the decorated movement, its brushed black ceramic frame offers historically inspired, engraved text indicating the date of the Apollo 8 mission (December 1968) and the famous quotation, “See you on the other side,” spoken by Command Module Pilot Jim Lovell just before the Apollo 8 crew drifted out of range of radio contact on its history-making journey to the Dark Side of the Moon (a phrase also engraved on the caseback).

The movement Cheap Omega Replica — whose lunar-landscape-finished bridges and plates add visual appeal to an already attractive architecture, and should wow even the most seasoned connoisseur of the Speedy and its famous caliber — is based on the same historical chronograph-equipped movement inside the first Speedmaster that went to the moon in 1969, Omega’s manual-wound Caliber 1861, based on the Lemania 1873. While this vintage-derived caliber is still used for the mainstream Speedmaster Professional “Moonwatch” models, the Apollo 8 represents the first time it’s been used in a Dark Side of the Moon watch; previous models have been equipped with the self-winding, co-axial chronometer-certified Caliber 9300, whose chronograph readout has two registers rather than three.

Of course, the movement is also the first of its kind to be skeletonized and enhanced with the laser-ablation finishing. This version of the legendary Moonwatch movement has been dubbed Caliber 1869, in honor of 1969, the year of the moon landing — though one wonders why Omega didn’t just change the “8” in the reference number as well, just to make the tribute more obvious. The Cheap Omega Replica holds a 48-hour power reserve when fully wound; it has no stop-seconds function but does incorporate a decoupling mechanism that prevents the mainspring from being overwound. I’ll admit, after several months of reviewing automatic watches, the convenience of not needing to wind a timepiece daily was missed at times, though the watch was very easy to wind and kept time very accurately even after more than a day and a half of being idle. Of course, this watch’s visual beauty was surely taken into consideration as much as its timekeeping duties, and a large rotor, as one would find in a self-winding caliber, would most likely have been a detriment to the view of the decorated movement parts.

Finally, we come to the pebbled black leather strap, which is perforated (another nod to the Speedy’s early auto-racing-inspired style) and continues the black-and-yellow motif of the dial. Black on both the top and the underside, the strap includes, sandwiched between these layers, a yellow rubber middle section, which can be glimpsed through the micro-perforations made by a special milling tool. This somewhat subtle effect is enhanced by yellow contrast stitching on the top side. The black ceramic pin buckle, with polished finish and engraved Cheap Omega Replica symbol, has a wide tongue that inserts nicely into the rectangular holes for a secure and comfortable wrist fit.
