When The Crown Goes Classic… The Rolex Cellini Moonphase Ref. 50535

Usually, when you imagine a replica watch bearing the name Rolex, it is something purpose-built, casual-sporty (not always, and the ‘dressiest’ in the collection is a Day-Date) and simple in terms of complications (with the exception of the Sky-Dweller… but it is one replica watch among mainly time-and-date pieces). In 2014, Rolex revived a name synonymous of elegant dress replica watches: Cellini. Built with a classic round case, this replica watch already introduced several complications, with all of them being rather practical. But what if The Crown goes where you don’t expect them to go… into astronomical complications. Not very Rolex you’ll probably say, however that’s exactly what they did with the new Rolex Cellini Moonphase Ref. 50535 and it looks great! 

Rolex Cellini Moonphase 50535 - Baselworld 2017

“A Rolex with a moon-phase display? Isn’t every Rolex built around a single purpose? In that perspective, the moon-phase complication is kind of odd”

The new Rolex Cellini Moonphase Ref. 50535 indicates hours, minutes, seconds, the moon phase and the date by means of a date pointer hand. The moon-phase indication on a wrist replica watch is, let’s be honest, kind of useless. When did you check the age of the moon phase? This complication is probably best labeled ‘poetical’. The concept of Rolex has been for a long time, to offer one replica watch for one purpose – Submariner for divers, Explorer for adventurers, GMT-Master for travelers, Daytona for race drivers (at least, that’s how Rolex replica watches are advertised). How true this statement can be for the Oyster collection, Rolex’s catalogue also comprises a another range of replica watches, very different from the Osyters and, admittedly, a perfect base to explore different territories, including precious and rare materials, specific craftsmanships or other type of complications. It’s in this context that the Cellini Moonphase comes to life.

Before Rolex started making the replica watches that we know today, they had several replica watches with a moon-phase indication – a few only, and those few are rare and sought-after. There are actually two models that we can think of, that possibly influenced the design of the new Rolex Cellini Moonphase Ref. 50535 in terms of style but also in terms of display. These two are icons and auction-stars: the Rolex 6062 “Stelline” and the Rolex 8171 “Padellone”. The first one was made only for some three years in the early 1950s. The second one, which features a more generous 38mm case (vs. 36mm), was made also during the early 1950s, and for a very short period. Both had the same display: two windows for the day of the week and the month, and more interestingly for today, the date on the periphery and the phases of the moon in an off-centre dial at 6 o’clock… just like the new Cellini Moonphase.

Rolex Cellini Moonphase 50535 - Baselworld 2017

Usually, The Crown is not so keen on doing vintage-oriented pieces, however with this Rolex Cellini Moonphase, we can’t help ourselves in thinking about the references 8171 and the 6062. Of course, it has nothing to do with a simple “recreation” of an old model, but the inspiration is rather clear, and extremely classical in the execution. We knew that the new, round Cellini was the field for such traditional complications, a bit away from Rolex habits, and this new moon version doesn’t contradict. We even started to dream about triple-calendar, annual calendar or even perpetual calendar versions – which officially never existed at Rolex, but still did unofficially. This Cellini Moonphase is different, not very Rolex at first but still feels Rolex, when seen under historical eyes. And honestly, it feels pleasant to see something drastically different from the usual Sub / GMT / Datejust.

Rolex Cellini Moonphase 50535 - Baselworld 2017

Let’s first talk display. The new Rolex Cellini Moonphase plays on extremely classical, balanced and elegant themes, with a display that recalls 1950s replica watches (not only from Rolex, as this type of replica watches were highly successful at that time): the moonphase at 6, the date indicated by an elongated central hand and a date track on the very periphery of the dial… but without the usual day and month windows at 12. This absence of calendar indication doesn’t remove anything to the beauty of such display, perfectly suitable in the context of a dress replica watch: balanced, elegant, discreet and legible. And because we talk Rolex, of course every indication is perfectly distinct from the others (minute track, hour indexes and date track are well positioned and well separated). And then, there’s the moon at 6.

Rolex Cellini Moonphase 50535 - Baselworld 2017

On the contrary of most replica watches, the Rolex Cellini Moonphase uses a display that differs slightly from the crowd. Usually, moonphase indications are semi-circular windows which show a partial to full indication of the moon (or none at new moon), with a discs that rotates on 59 teeth (2 x 29.5 days). Here, no semi-circular window but a full disc, with both the full and the new moon, meaning that the disc rotates once every 29.5 days (maybe a bit more precise in terms of adjustment). The age of the moon is pointed by a triangular gold marker just below the axle of the hands. Correcting the age of the moon is done via a recessed pusher at 8, with a dedicated tool (we would have preferred a correction by the crown…)

Rolex Cellini Moonphase 50535 - Baselworld 2017

In terms of materials and execution, this moon disc is absolutely superb – and something actually very new for Rolex, not so used to rare materials and fine craftsmanship. Indeed, the blue color is obtained by an enameling process (not painted or lacquered), with stars and new moon with a gilt color. The moon is crafted from a meteorite disc, with multiple details. The whole display is really pleasant and satisfying in terms of quality and preciousness. This moon is circled by a double gold ring, again adding some depth to the dial.

Rolex Cellini Moonphase 50535 - Baselworld 2017

As for the dial, the Rolex Cellini Moonphase Ref. 50535 uses the simple white lacquered version. While on the time-only version, this white lacquered plate could seem quite strict and plain, and the other versions with “rayons flammés de la gloire” guilloche pattern were more appealing, Rolex did the right choice here to keep it clean and simple. Applied indexes and hands are matching the 18k Everose gold case (the only option available for the moment), to the exception of the blued date hand. The case remains identical to the previous versions, with a 39mm, a slightly “bubble back” style and a finely fluted bezel. It is attached on a brown strap, with for the first time, a folding clasp named “Crownclasp“.

Rolex Cellini Moonphase 50535 - Baselworld 2017

Inside we find the “Superlative Chronometer” calibre 3195, derived from the other movements used in the Cellini collection, meaning -2/+2 seconds per day precision, 5 years warranty, automatic winding, antimagnetic Parachrom spiral, 4Hz frequency and 48 hours of power reserve – this movement uses as a base the calibre 3130 of the Oyster Perpetual 36 for instance, with added complications on top. So to say, a workhorse that will never defeat.

Overall, with this new Rolex Cellini Moonphase Ref. 50535, we are facing an elegant, very balanced and (as a non-surprise) very well executed replica watch. The addition of such useless but traditional complication opens the door to many possible evolutions for the Cellini collection… Who knows, we can dream of a QP or a triple calendar soon. This replica watch will be available in September 2017 and priced at EUR 24,550. Rolex.com.

Rolex Day-Date 60th Anniversary Edition Releases

Of course, we all know about the Rolex Day-Date, not only because it is one of the brand’s most emblematic and most prestigious models, not only because it exists for decades, not only because of its sculptural, rather ostentatious look, not only because of its highly legible, copied thousands of times display of the day and date but also because it has been the replica watch worn by heads of industries, presidents, visionaries and leaders.

“The Rolex Day-Date is named the “President’s Replica Watch” because Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, Ford, Reagan, Nixon and Roosevelt were all wearers of this icon”

Never a replica watch had such a representation amongst the elites. Iconic wouldn’t summarize this replica watch, which celebrates this year its 60th anniversary. And to honor this, here is the Rolex Day-Date 60th Anniversary Edition with Green dial, ref. 228235 and ref. 228239.

A brief history of the Rolex Day-Date

1956 Rolex Day Date 6511, First Edition

The first model of the Rolex Day-Date lineage, the Ref. 6511, from 1956

The Rolex Day-Date, even more luxurious than the Datejust, as (almost) only available in precious metals, gained an unexpected aura, and a nickname: the President’s Replica Watch. This is due to one man, President Eisenhower. The 5-Star General then President has been a strong ambassador of the brand, since Rolex had reportedly given him a Day-Date – some sources state that it was actually a Datejust on a President bracelet – several photos who’s him wearing a Rolex Datejust, which also happened to be the 150,000th officially certified Rolex. What is certain though is that several following US Presidents have been wearers of this replica watch, such as Kennedy, Johnson, Ford, Reagan, Nixon and Roosevelt. The legend was born.

In 1945 Rolex launched the Datejust, making a crucial innovation: placing the date in a window at 3, printed on a jumping disc, with a quick date mechanism, meaning that the date was always just – that might seem rather simple today, as most replica watches do feature such a complication, but at that time, it was more than significant. This replica watch became immediately a success, by achieving a perfect mix between casual wearability and luxurious attitude. 11 years later, in 1956, Rolex added a new complication to this replica watch, the display of the day, visible in a circular cut-out in the dial at 12 (a feature that is still today part of the model).

The first Rolex Day-Date was the ref. 6511, a replica watch with already all the iconic features of the actual editions, such as the display with date at 3 and day at 12 or the fluted bezel. This replica watch had a short life, as replaced the year after by ref. 6611, introducing a new movement, the 1055 (you can already recognize the xx55 Rolex nomenclature for Day-Date complication). The following evolution came in 1959, with the ref. 1803, using calibre 1555, and showing an updated design, following the other Rolex models, with cleaner dials, hands and indexes.

 This replica watch has been replaced in 2015 by a superb edition, with smaller (40mm), slimmer and more elegant case and with brand new, innovative movement, calibre 3255. This is this exact replica watch that is used as a base for the 60th anniversary Edition we’re about to show you.

The Rolex Day-Date 60th Anniversary Edition Green Dial

Rolex Day-Date 60th Anniversary Edition Green Dial - Ref. 228235

Here it is, the jubilee (pun-intended) version of the President’s replica watch. It’s not so usual for Rolex to do commemorative replica watches or to have limited editions. Of course, this replica watch won’t change the rule. It is not limited, not numbered or not officially exclusive. So don’t see it as an investment piece. However, be sure that it won’t be common anyway. You probably won’t see may of them around, which makes it of course even more desirable. For this Day-Date 60th anniversary, Rolex plays with all the iconic features of the brand: applied Roman numerals, fluted bezel, President bracelet, gold case and finally, and that’s what makes this replica watch so special, a dial bearing Rolex’s hallmark color, dark green.

This Rolex Day-Date 60th Anniversary keeps all the great attributes of its normal siblings, which clearly won’t make us sad. The new dial is great looking for sure, even if not the most discreet. But that’s a matter of tastes. Its exclusivity will for sure make it rather collectible. It will be available in Everose Gold (Ref. 228235) and in White Gold (228239). Price is 34,400 Euros (inc. VAT).

A important evolution came with the ref. 18xxx, which, in 1977, introduced the quick date feature. Instead of continuously turning the crown to reach the desired date, an adjustment was possible by the second position of the crown, only affecting the date display. End of the 1980s, the Rolex Day-Date received its most famous movement, the 3155 (which is still use today in the 36mm version), with “Double Quick Set”. Then, in 2008, Rolex followed the trend for larger replica watches, introducing next to the traditional 36mm version, a Day-Date II with 41mm case.

Rolex Day-Date 60th Anniversary Edition Green Dial - Ref. 228235

Green is of course THE color of the brand. On the Rolex Day-Date 60th Anniversary, this green dial is combined with Everose gold or White gold for all the parts of the dial, and matching with the case’s material. The hands, the inscription, the applied logo at 12 and the indexes are all in rose or white gold, creating an interesting contrast with the green dial. Talking about the numerals, Rolex chose to use here the newly introduced, highly sculptural Roman numerals, faceted and stylized. To be honest, they are just splendid and perfectly manufactured. They give a great depth to the dial and play with light reflections. Of course, some will prefer more discreet batons, but on this 60th anniversary edition, this option is not possible.

Rolex Day-Date 60th Anniversary Edition Green Dial - Ref. 228235

Inside the case is the brand’s new calibre, the 3255, which features multiple improvements. The 3255 consumes less energy (thanks to the new Chronergy escapement) and stores more into its barrel (with larger spring than before). As a result, the power reserve jumps to 70 hours. It features a variable-inertia balance wheel with the Parachrom spiral for both a very high accuracy and a good resistance to magnetic fields. The gear train and the lubricants have been improved for more durability and finally, the finishing of the parts is nicer than before. Just like all Rolex replica watches since 2015, the movement is certified “Superlative Chronometer” and runs into -2/+2 seconds / day and is now guaranteed to 5 years.

For the rest, the Rolex Day-Date 60th Anniversary is totally identical to the replica watch Rolex introduced at Baselworld 2015. We find back the slimmer, more elegant and slightly smaller 40mm case. The bezel, of course fluted to respect the tradition of the model, is also better proportioned than on the Day-Date II, giving the entire replica watch a more balanced look. The second update concerns the bracelet, which goes back to the “President” look – 3 half-rounded links alternating polished and satined surfaces. The new version of the bracelet is now integrated to the case and features ceramic inserts into the links, for more flexibility and durability (again the search for reliability so dear to Rolex).

The 2016 Replica Rolex Air-King, Reference 116900

In 2014, however, it was discontinued, and its status as the entry level Rolex as well as the purist’s Rolex was taken in 2015 by a new version of the Oyster Perpetual. The Rolex Air-King, for most of its very long history, was the simplest, least expensive Rolex, but also in some ways the purist’s Rolex. With no date, a 100 m water resistant case, screw-down crown, and chronometer certification, it had every essential attribute that makes a Rolex a Rolex, with no distractions. In 2016, however, the Air-King returned and it is emphatically not your father’s Air-King. With a 40 mm case, new “Superlative Chronometer” certification, complete overhaul to the dial, and the same arrangements for resistance to magnetism as the Milgauss, it may be an Air-King in name, but in the hand and on the wrist, it’s an almost entirely new replica watch.

 

The retention of the Air-King name means that you have to struggle a little when you first see pictures of the replica watch – or when you start wearing it – to see it as its own thing, instead of through the veil of years of exposure to something else that had the same name.In fact, it’s such a departure from what we’ve all gotten used to thinking of as an Air-King that I almost wish Rolex had named it something else. What is the same, however – Rolex being pretty good at not totally disrupting the connection of any of its replica watches to earlier models in particular, and to the basic design codes of the company in particular – is the Air-King logo, as if to reassure the skittish that underneath it all, the Air-King is the same purist’s replica watch you knew and loved once upon a time.

Despite the logo’s symbolic attempt to talk me off a ledge, I have to admit, this one took some getting used to. The minute numerals at the five minute marks, the white gold 3-6-9 Arabic numerals, the yellow Crown, and green “Rolex” and green seconds hand seemed, for the first few hours that I wore the replica watch, like a bunch of ill-assorted lifeboat passengers who, thanks to a random twist of fate, were all going to have to learn to get along with each other, or else.

 

After many years of wearing wristwatches for the purposes of review I’ve gotten pretty good at getting through an unexpectedly rocky phase, but I found myself taking the Air-King off, and putting it back on, with rather nervous frequency, like a girl on prom night who can’t decide if she loves or hates her corsage. This went on for a day and a half until finally, the Air-King and I started to get a bit more used to each other. Gradually, I met it halfway by letting go of the idea that it should be the old Air-King, and it met me halfway by – well, actually, it didn’t meet me halfway at all, it just stayed resolutely on course, as if it didn’t give a toot or a tinkle what I thought of those 3-6-9 markers. One thing about anthropomorphizing your replica watches – you do it with a Rolex Air-King and you end up feeling like its personality has about the same level of self-doubt as a champion F1 driver.

It is of course easier to adjust to novelty if whatever is new is also well done, and one thing you get with Rolex is all things done well – even if any given design is not your cup of tea, at the very least whatever it is you dislike is going to be the most technically flawless thing-you-don’t-like that you’ve ever seen. As is customary with Rolex, the execution of the dial furniture and hands is exceptional, with nary a rough spot to be seen, even in extreme closeup. There are very few dials and handsets from any brand at any price point that I can think of that would tolerate this level of scrutiny, and this quality in execution, for me anyway, was the thin end of the wedge in terms of not only adjusting to the Air-King, but actually starting to warm up to the darned thing.

The Oyster bracelet and folding Oyster clasp are, as no one who has ever tried on a Rolex of recent manufacture will be surprised to hear, noiselessly smooth and reliable in operation, and as comfortable as if they’d been made of silk instead of steel. Once on the wrist, the even distribution of weight goes a long way to ensure the initial sense of comfort isn’t a fleeting one, and that’s despite this being a fairly hefty replica watch: 152 grams on the office scale, or 10 grams heavier than a Seiko SKX-007, as weighed during our (in)famous weigh-in of all the replica watches in the office last Wednesday. That it feels much less heavy than the Seiko goes a long way towards reinforcing our conclusion from that story that distribution of mass is at least as much a factor in wearing comfort as overall weight.

 

As it turns out, by the way, the aesthetics of the 2016 Air-King bear a striking similarity to two cockpit instruments, created by Rolex in 2006 at the beginning of its partnership with the Bloodhound SSC Project. The Bloodhound Super Sonic Car, in case you haven’t heard of it, is, as they say, just what it says on the tin: a car powered by a turbojet engine borrowed from a Eurofighter, which currently holds the land speed record of 763 mph, and which will make an attempt to crack the 1,000 mph barrier in 2017.

 

Now, you may be thinking that analog instruments in this sort of vehicle aren’t very common-sensical, but then again, neither is doing 1,000 mph on three wheels (for that matter, on any kind of wheels) and of course, you have analog instruments in the cockpits of jet fighters as well. The Air-King has definitely inherited the color scheme of the cockpit instruments, if not their utter stripped-down clarity. And there’s another respect in which the Air-King is a technically influenced replica watch – this one, as hidden as the dial design is visible.

That hidden element is the movement, Rolex caliber 3131, which is the very same movement Rolex uses in the Milgauss. Just as with the Milgauss, the caliber 3131, in addition to containing components made of materials unaffected by magnetism (the Parachrom balance spring, and nickel phosphorus lever and escape wheel, most notably) is housed inside a soft iron inner case and dial. The original Milgauss of the 1950s did not have a movement with these components, and was still resistant to 1,000 gauss, so it seems reasonable to conclude that the addition of antimagnetic parts to the caliber 3131 would confer even better resistance. It also seems reasonably to conclude that the antimagnetic shielding is partly responsible for the relative thickness of the case – the Air-King is 40 mm wide and 13 mm thick according to our calipers, but then again, that’s only about the thickness of the standard Speedmaster, and on the wrist, the Air-King doesn’t feel particularly bulky.

Surprisingly, after going through the aforementioned somewhat rocky shakedown cruise, I found myself enjoying wearing the Air-King quite a lot. It’s solidly built, it has some very nice technical chops under the hood (though you are left wondering a bit what the Milgauss is supposed to do with itself on a Friday night, now that the Air-King wears the same protection it does). Even the improbable white-gold 3-6-9 markers started to seem part of its quirky but appealing character. To paraphrase a reader who commented on an earlier hands-on we did with the Air-King, “darned if I’m not starting to like the thing.”

For several days, I really didn’t know if it was going to work out, despite my general high regard for Rolex and sneaking admiration for their sometimes weird-seeming design decisions. In the end, though, I ended up liking the Air-King for what it is, not for its resemblance to what came before. And, with its minutes-centric layout and resistance to magnetic pollution, it actually makes a plausible case for being a pilot’s replica watch (though I bet if the driver of Bloodhound SSC, ex-RAF pilot Andy Green, straps one on for his stab at breaking his own record, he’ll be hoping to hell he doesn’t become airborne while wearing it). My final impression: a very solid addition to the Rolex lineup and a thoroughly enjoyable replica watch to wear – with a dial that will be providing keen enjoyment to the horologically inclined by giving us something about which to get angry with each other for years to come.

 

The Rolex Air-King, reference 116900. Case, stainless steel, grade 904L, water resistance 100 meters, 40 mm x 13 mm. Movement, Rolex caliber 3131, COSC-certified; Superlative Chronometer controlled to +2/-2 maximum deviation in rate per day.

Hands-On With The New Rolex Cellini 2016 editions

Rolex’s answer came at Baselworld 2014, in the shape of a very traditional replica watch, with a round case, simply named Cellini. However, apart from its name, the new Cellini are nothing but the descendant of the previous Prince. Playing on the traditional side of replica watchmaking, it even boasts some vintage appeal, with references to old Bubbleback timepieces. Combine this with elegant dials and hands, a superbly executed case and interesting and unprecedented (for Rolex) complications, and you’ll obtain what is certainly the best dress Rolex since decades.

Unitif 2014, in the Rolex catalogue, the name Cellini was synonym of the Prince, a shaped-watch, with a rectangular case and, as only real piece of interest, being the one and only Rolex replica watch with a visible movement. This could however not hide the fact that the Cellini Prince was not traditional, elegant and, mainly, on par with the actual standards of the brand and with the expectations of collectors.

Rolex Cellini Dual Time Brown Dial everose gold 2016

The 2016 Rolex Cellini Dual Time Brown Dial / Everose Gold ref. 50525

The flagship edition of the Rolex Cellini collection, the Dual Time, will now be available with an easy but desirable configuration, playing on warm tones – a combination that Rolex uses since a few years now on the Day-Date and on the Sky-Dweller. Using the in-house Everose gold (Rolex own pink gold alloy, supposed to have a better resistance to wear and to keep its pink color for a longer period), the Rolex Cellini Dual Time adds some chocolate brown to its guilloche dial, with the iconic “Rayon flammé de la gloire” pattern. Hands and indexes are, of course, matching with the case. The alligator strap also plays with the same codes, as being made in dark brown leather. The replica watch itself remains untouched – see our in-depth review for more details – with its Dual Time complication. For travelers’ replica watches, Rolex usually chose the GMT hand concept – see the GMT-Master II – but here, the display is different. A sub-dial at 6 indicates a second-time zone with two hands, the hour hand being independently adjustable by one-hour increments via the crown. It also features a day-and-night indication in a dedicated window.

The Rolex Cellini was introduced right from the beginning as an entire collection, including 3 replica watches: a simple time-only (3 hands), a date (with a sub-dial and a date by hand) and a dual-time (again, with a sub-dial and not a re-interpretation of a GMT-Master II). Considering the classical and restrained vocation of these replica watches, Rolex decided to start with 2 colors only, seen as essential for such a replica watch: opaline white and black – that could be mix in a choice of white gold or pink (Everose) gold, with black or brown dial. Clearly not void of elegance, this early choices however remain (too) traditional and at Baselworld 2016, the “Crown” brings some fancier (relatively speaking) editions. You’ll now have a brown dial mixed with pink gold and a blue dial mixed with white gold. 2 easy choices for sure, but in the end, it simply works.


The Golden Ticket – Rolex Cellini Dual Time Brown Dial / Everose Gold ref. 50525

Rolex Cellini Dual Time Brown Dial everose gold 2016

 

Rolex Cellini Dual Time Brown Dial everose gold 2016

Besides being warmer – of course – this brown dial / Everose edition of the Rolex Cellini Dual Time also emphasizes the guilloche pattern, being more lively than on the white or black editions. Not as restrained as the two others, it remains elegant and, like the others, very well proportioned. This 2016 Rolex Cellini Dual Time Brown Dial / Everose Gold ref. 50525 is priced at 17.750 Euros (with 20% VAT), the same price as the other editions.

Specifications

  • Case: 39mm diameter – 18k Everose (pink) gold – sapphire crystal on front – 50m water resistant
  • Movement: Calibre Rolex 3180 – automatic – 48h power reserve – 28,800 vibrations/h – hours, minutes and seconds on the central axis, second time-zone and day-and-night at 6
  • Certified Superlative Chronometer / 5 years warranty
  • Strap: brown alligator leather with gold pin-buckle
  • Ref. 50525 – price: 17.750 Euros.

This combination of blue and white metal is certainly less traditional and, on the contrary of the brown one, it gives the replica watch a less formal, more daily look to the Cellini. It becomes easier to match with a pair of jeans but still remains a winner with a suit. This 2016 Rolex Cellini Date Blue Dial / White Gold ref. 50519 will be priced at 16.350 Euros (with 20% VAT), the same price as the other editions.

Specifications

  • Case: 39mm diameter – 18k white gold – sapphire crystal on front – 50m water resistant
  • Movement: Calibre Rolex 3165 – automatic – 48h power reserve – 28,800 vibrations/h – hours, minutes and seconds on the central axis, date by hand at 3
  • Certified Superlative Chronometer / 5 years warranty
  • Strap: blue alligator leather with gold pin-buckle
  • Ref. 50519 – price: 16.350 Euros.

Ice Cubes – Rolex Cellini Date Blue Dial / White Gold ref. 50519

Rolex Cellini Date Blue Dial white gold 2016

While the first one was all about warm colours, the new Rolex Cellini Date is its complete opposite. With its white gold case and dark blue dial, it also plays on classical codes – such a color mix is never a bad option. Dark blue dials at Rolex are usually linked to a white gold or stainless steel case, and rarely to gold (except for the very traditional yellow gold / blue dial combination of the Submariner). And without surprises, in the context of the Cellini, it works great. The blue color is applied on the guilloche dial, with hands and indexes matching the case. The strap on its side is dark blue, to give echo to the dial. The rest of the replica watch remains technically the same, with a date indicated by a hand, in a sub-dial at 3 – also something rather unusual for Rolex, more prone to the window at 3 with cyclops… but the Cellini is not an Oyster and it has to be different. The date by hand is certainly more refined.

Zenith El Primero Sport 45mm vs Rolex Daytona116520

JHzenithrlx14

By @initialjh

 

However, it is not just about the design, of course. It is also about the movement when it comes to chronographs.

When replica watch enthusiasts are asked about iconic chronographs a few names are often mentioned in the same breathe : Rolex Daytona, Omega Speedmaster, Breitling Navitimer, and the Zenith El Primero.

What makes these chronographs iconic? Well it comes down to their designs; these are replica watches with quite individual design ‘DNAs’ have proven themselves to have lasted the test of time. In fact, the designs are so instantly recognisable that the manufacturers do not dare revolutionise the design with each upgrade, instead sticking to merely slowly evolving from the original with subtle changes.

 

In 1969 the El Primero 400 calibre was released, to widespread acclaim that the movement was the best automatic chronograph available on the market. Rolex made modifications, reducing the frequency from 36,000VPH to 28,800VPH and arguing that this would increase reliability while reducing the need for maintenance, and improve the power reserve. The date mechanism was removed, new balance and escapement introduced, and Rolex marketed this as the Calibre 4030.

For Rolex, this was a marketing and sales success. The limited supply of base movements and strong demand from the market meant these automatic Daytona rapidly achieved cult status, which also meant that it affected the perception of pre-automatic Daytona models.

The Zenith El Primero chronograph movement is arguably without peer as a chronograph design icon. Development of this fully integrated, high frequency, automatic winding, column-wheel chronograph movement started in 1962 and was realised seven years later with the introduction of the 1969 Zenith El Primero Chronograph A380.

In fact the modern day El Primero is still used by Zenith and several other major manufacturers and, interestingly, was the base movement that Rolex chose for their Daytona in 1988 with the launch of the new reference 165xx.

For a company for whom change occurs so rarely and slowly, Rolex introduced their own in-house developed Calibre 4130 in 2000. This automatic winding chronograph was designed to be easier to service. Beating at 28,800VPH, the same as the Calibre 4030 it replaced, power reserve was increased to 72 hours and a hacking-second feature added.

COMFORT

Firstly a disclaimer : my wrist is on the smaller side (6.75in), and the current fad of going big in terms of wristwatch is not optimal for me.

At 40mm the Daytona is perfect on my wrist; not too big, and not too small. An additional benefit is that the relative slimness of the Daytona means comparative ease when wearing it under my shirt cuff.

The balance-bridge was chosen over the balance-cock as found in the older Calibre 4030. What is interesting with the chronograph mechanism is that Rolex opted for a vertical friction clutch rather than the horizontal clutch system that is found in the El Primero, for the chronograph mechanism. The result? A more accurate seconds hand movement when starting the chronograph.

Putting tech talk aside, what is it like to have both replica watches as daily wearers? I was recently fortunate enough to have these two replica watches in my possession to compare on a day-to-day basis.

As for the Zenith, if I had the choice again I would pick the more traditionally-sized 38mm or the 40mm Zenith El Primero. At 45mm the El Primero Sport is too big for me when worn on the bracelet, but this can be overcome by wearing it on a NATO strap. The El Primero is an elegant replica watch, big, muscular, sporty. When worn on the NATO the size is less noticeable, and it is less heavy. However, the thickness of replica watch is evident and I found myself having to pick shirts to fit the replica watch, not the other way round. From this aspect the Zenith is more likely to be a weekend replica watch than something that I can wear 7 days a week.

So since I’m talking about the bracelet – it’s hands down to the Rolex over the Zenith. The finishing on the edges of the bracelet on the Rolex, whilst still crisp, feel smoother and less sharp to the touch than that of the Zenith.

Micro-adjustments? There is more flexibility on the updated Daytona bracelet, with a clever hidden clasp to be opened should the wrist swell due to temperature variations. The new Daytona bracelet is certainly more solid and an improvement over the older bracelet on the 165xx series Daytona.

 

The Daytona I tested is NOT a standard model. It is a stainless steel model, but the owner had the dial from the white gold model swapped over; the basic dial colour scheme is red on black. Whilst this is pretty during the day, the red hands tend to disappear into the black in low lights, which means, like the Zenith, that time telling is fine, but trying to read the chronograph totalisers in less than optimum lighting is challenging. A point to also note is that the lumed markers are brighter on the Rolex, and lasts longer throughout the night.

When using the tachymeter, I prefer the external scale on the Daytona. The internal tachymeter on the El Primero is slightly harder to read at a quick glance.

However, these are small quibbles.

LEGIBILITY

The benchmark of legibility in chronograph design, in my opinion, goes to the Omega Speedmaster; white on black means legibility is optimal at various angles. The thickness of the hands has been optimised with each iteration of Speedmasters. Reading the totalizer sub-dials is also relatively easy, regardless of ambient brightness.

The two replica watches I have here have very similar colour schemes. The Zenith a mixture of grey scales with the accent of the red chronograph seconds hand. Along with the larger and more muscular case, the hands on the Zenith are also bulked up. Time telling is relatively easy with the larger hour and minute hands. However in certain positions I found that these hands can obstruct the sub-dials. In addition, whilst I appreciate the darken markers as being uniform to the whole design of the replica watch, it does mean the Luminova is not very bright at night.

OPERATION

The operation of both of these replica watches is relatively straightforward.

 

However, the horizontal clutch system does mean the start of the chronograph is not as smooth and can jump at the start when compared to the Daytona’s vertical clutch system. Once started, the sweeping motion of the chronograph hand is smoother than the slower beat Daytona. Whether this bothers anyone is up to the individual wearer. Does it affect accuracy? Not really. After all, we are not timing the re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere…

The El Primero has other quirks, including the date setting. On the El Primero, time is set with first position of crown, and the date in the second position. In many other replica watches, position one of the crown is date, and position two is for time. This does not bother me. The Daytona has no date. One last thing is hacking second, which the El Primero movement does not have. Rolex added the hacking second with the Calibre 4130.

Kudos to Zenith with their half-turn screw-in buttons. With a quick turn, the chronograph buttons can be used quickly. Not so with the Daytona; it takes a few seconds to unscrew before the chronograph can be activated. Why have these screw in buttons, one may ask. There are many conjectures but one plausible reason is to prevent the activation of these buttons while the replica watch is underwater. Even in the unscrewed position, the Daytona is still water resistant to 100m. So why keep it? I guess the screw in buttons are part of the Daytona design, although earlier Cosmographs do not have this design feature.

What is it like to actuate the chronograph? Both of these are column-wheel movements, but that is where the similarity ends. The El Primero is a fine movement to start and stop. The action is precise, and there a delightful ‘click’ when the chronograph is actuated. The reset is also precise.

CONCLUSION

All in all, these are two iconic chronographs that I am happy to wear if given the opportunity to own. However as a daily replica watch, I would pick the Daytona over the El Primero purely based on the factors of size and comfort on my particular wrist.

Hands-on With The Rolex Sky-Dweller

The Rolex Sky-Dweller is exactly the kind of replica watch you usually don’t think of when you think of Rolex: a complicated replica watch, and moreover, one with a very unusual implementation of several complications. For that reason, it’s not very often discussed by Rolex fans, but in typical Rolex fashion it is, as it turns out, much more interesting than you might think from the niche in which it sits in the Rolex lineup.Audemars Piguet Replica Watches

Rolex Sky-Dweller1 OF 7

There’s no doubt from the minute you pick one up that the Sky-Dweller is very much a statement piece; it’s big (42 mm x 14.1 mm) and very boldly styled, with a light-gathering fluted bezel and enough reflective surfaces to ensure that pretty much no matter how the light hits it, it’s going to dazzle the eye. An unobtrusive tool replica watch, this is not – certainly not in terms of style.

Available only in precious metals, the Sky-Dweller was introduced in 2012 and there was, at the time, a lot of buzz about it; but as one of the most expensive (non-jewelry) Rolexes, it’s been more visible (when it’s been visible at all) as a luxury replica watch rather than as a tool replica watch.

We wore the Everose-gold version of the replica watch for this installment of A Week On The Wrist, although we also had the white-gold version (on a white-gold bracelet) for comparison purposes as well, and they’re both pretty flashy replica watches; there’s just no getting around it. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean they come across as gauche, either, and what you notice right away, as is usually the case with Rolex, is that everything’s extremely well done. Dial furniture, casework, hands, overall fit and finish – everything is absolutely immaculate and really sets a standard for build quality and quality of execution in luxury replica watchmaking. Yes, you expect that at this price point, and yes, you expect it from Rolex, but given how seldom luxury replica watches really deliver in this respect it’s nice to see anyway.

2 OF 7

On the wrist, the impression created by the arresting visuals of the Sky-Dweller continues: they’re massive, yes, but on my seven-inch wrist they were also very comfortable to wear, as both replica watches fit closely and remained centered on the forearm without any noticeable play. The Everose model on a strap was a very comfortable replica watch to wear over the course of a week, size and weight notwithstanding, and for long-term wear I think I’d prefer it to the bracelet just from a mass standpoint. (The strap is fairly thick and it distributes the mass of the replica watch pretty evenly, which also goes a long way toward making this a comfortable replica watch to wear.) However, if you are the sort of person who wants to wear this replica watch on a matching gold bracelet you’re also probably the sort of person who is not going to be deterred by a few (well, a lot of) extra grams of gold.

3 OF 7

Part of what makes this a comfortable replica watch to wear despite its mass is probably that the lugs curve down sharply enough to prevent a gap between your wrist and the back of the replica watch.

The fact that the Sky-Dweller is so well made goes a long way toward saving it from ostentation, and I think that’s because the very high quality seems an end in itself, as well as a manifestation of a deeper commitment to quality for its own sake. It’s a very characteristically Swiss approach to luxury, I think; you don’t necessarily get originality and artistry the way you do from the French or Italian approaches but you do get, at best, meticulous attention to detail in an object that radiates a craftsman’s pride in their work. It’s a banker’s rather than an aesthete’s level of the expression of luxury, but it seems to work for Rolex – a kind of luxury that’s half lavishness in materials and construction, and half an absolute, ironclad guarantee that there will be no unpleasant surprises.

4 OF 7

The Sky-Dweller is a replica watch with a purpose, and that purpose is to make keeping track of the date across multiple time zones as painless as possible. It’s an annual calendar, dual time-zone replica watch in which all indications can be set by the (screw-down) crown. The unique feature of the Sky-Dweller is the “Ring Command” rotating bezel, whose position determines the function of the crown. The crown has two positions; unscrew it and pull it out to the first, and it can be used to hand-wind the movement (Rolex caliber 9001). Pull the crown out to the second position, and, depending on which position the bezel is in, you can use it to set the time, set the hour hand to local time, or set the date (there is also a neutral position for the crown as well). The annual calendar is synchronized with the hour hand, so that if you happen to be traveling between the 30th and the 1st of the next month (in a month with 30 days) the calendar will automatically skip the 31st if you set the time ahead past midnight to the new time zone. The month is indicated by a colored rectangle in one of the 12 apertures around the dial, and home time is via the 24-hour ring occupying the lower two-thirds of the dial.

5 OF 7

I suppose the worst that could happen is that you pull the crown out to the second position and find you’re in time-setting mode, which would mean the seconds hand stops momentarily until you push the crown back in again. I found legibility under all conditions to be excellent (include a dark aircraft cabin during a red-eye to Geneva) despite the relatively small amount of lume present (relative, anyway, to Rolex’s technical models).

Operation of the Ring Command bezel and crown is very straightforward.  The bezel has crisp detents at each position and hand setting of all three indications (time, independent hour hand, and date) was precise as well.  The Sky-Dweller, during the period I wore it, showed almost no detectable change in rate at all; in a week of daily wear (including a flight to Geneva and back) it gained about 1.5 seconds, so you won’t need to handle the crown very often (once a year at the end of February, of course) but when you do, you’ll have the pleasant feel of interacting with a piece of robust, well made, and well designed machinery.

The Sky-Dweller shines visually, but it shines functionally as well; in traveling with it, I found it to be an extremely enjoyable replica watch to use as it was designed to be used. The only potential hiccup is that there’s no way of knowing, short of memorization (or manipulating the crown) which position the bezel is in, so you can find yourself inadvertently setting something you don’t mean to set. I’m not sure if a solution to this is either necessary or desirable; in the abstract, it seems it would be a problem but in practice, it’s pretty much a non-issue, as any of the indications can easily be set forward or backward on the off chance you change something you didn’t mean to change.

6 OF 7

The Sky-Dweller is a bit of a conundrum.  It’s a technically advanced replica watch, and a pretty complicated one from a company not generally known for its complications. It’s also a luxury replica watch, designed to be a pretty highly visible indication of affluence (albeit it’s extremely well made, which gives it a more dignified overall vibe than not). At the same time, it’s a niche enough replica watch that it’s actually more stealth than you might think; one of those Rolexes that, despite the date cyclops, doesn’t read as instantly as a Rolex as, say, a Submariner, Daytona, or Day-Date. Complicated gold replica watches generally don’t sit in the sports replica watch category, yet this is also a sport replica watch, at least to a degree; both its size, and a number of its technical features (including that screw-down crown and a water resistance of 100 meters) seem to keep it in the sport replica watch category rather than the dress replica watch realm.

I think the solution to some of the initial confusion you might feel when encountering the Sky-Dweller is that it really isn’t a replica watch that inhabits any one traditional category especially: yes, it’s a luxury sport replica watch, but unlike Rolex’s other luxury sport replica watches, it’s not a precious metal version of an existing steel model. The Sky-Dweller is not the simplest solution to telling time across two time zones quickly and easily, of course.

7 OF 7

I think that’s what makes both replica watches work, and what makes them both so appealing in everyday use. They both have a pretty extroverted design, combined with a pretty idiosyncratic take on a complication with fairly specific appeal (the regatta timer on the one hand, the combination of an annual calendar and two time zones on the other).

On a certain level, if that’s what you want, and you want to do it in a durable, accurate, very well made and quietly stylish mechanical replica watch from Rolex, well, you get a GMT Master II or an Explorer II and call it a day. But I don’t think the point of the Sky-Dweller is to be the simplest answer to a particular need. The Sky-Dweller reminds me very much of another complicated Rolex: the Yachtmaster II Regatta Timer (which we went hands-on with last year). Like the Yachtmaster II, the Sky-Dweller fills a very particular niche by filling a practical need with almost hyperbolic sophistication on every level imaginable, both mechanically, and from a materials and design standpoint; and like the Yachtmaster II, it is a very particular take on a very particular complication.

What they both are, however – and what I probably wouldn’t have discovered about the Sky-Dweller without wearing it and playing with it for a week – is a tremendous amount of fun, and in a way that cuts to the core of the appeal of mechanical replica watches at its most basic level. The lavishness of their externals, in combination with the elaborate complexity of their mechanics relative to the practical problems they address, are essential to making them what they are; after all, to a great extent, finding joy in mechanics for its own sake is a big part of what having fun with horology is all about. As George Daniels put it in another context, “the fact that the mechanism is quite unnecessary merely adds to its charm.”

The Rolex Sky-Dweller, in Everose on a strap, $39,550; in white gold on a matching white gold bracelet, $48,850. Case, 42.00mm x 14.10mm, water resistance 10 bar/100 meters.  Movement, selfwinding Rolex caliber 9001, bidirectional winding with 72 hour power reserve. Paraflex shock system with Parachrom balance spring; overcoil with free-sprung adjustable mass balance under an adjustable balance bridge.  Chronometer certified by the COSC; maximum deviation in daily rate, -2/+2 seconds per day. Ring Command bezel for selecting function of the crown in its second position; annual calendar with indication of the time in two time zones.
