although we'd perhaps recommend trying to replica Vacheron Constantin watches barter it down to around $3000 if interested.Click here for the details of this rare 1960s IWC retailed and signed by Cartier.Hodinkee in Cartier, IWC, Vintage Sunday, February 22, 2009 at 10:25AM We know how many variations of the Omega Seamaster are out there, and we know how whack some of them can be (see the digital/analog version we found over the weekend).This Seamaster, dear readers, is not whack, in fact it's pretty fly.
This 1969 Omega may bear the name of one of the most storied diving watches of all time, and it looks like there is even a helium escape valve on the left hand side there, but to us, this is a driving watch, not a diving watch.Let us explain why.First things first, just look at it.That red, that white, that black, and that blue are nothing if not race inspired.In fact, replica Patek Philippe watches take a look at this modern day Speedmaster Michael Schumacher Edition, looks pretty similar, no?Second, a chronograph is not a complication typically associated with a diving watch.Although they do exist, the chronograph is most useful for timing laps, not for timing dives.
The buttons of a chronograph are also potential weaknesses in a watch case's ability to remain water-tight.We have seen this movement used before in another interesting Omega Seamaster (a Soccer-timer), one that actually looks a bit like the replica watch gift racer above.This Seamaster is listed in great condition and while a price isn't given, we are confident it will be under $4000 easily.Click here for the details of this Omega Seamaster that really looks like a driving watch.
