Meet the swiss made funtional Omega Seamaster Chronograph Replica Watch Ref.176.007

Although the instinctive reaction to the words ‘Omega Chronograph’ would be ‘Speedmaster’, let us not forget that the Seamaster collection has had its fair share of desirable chonos.

This is the Omega Seamaster Chronograph copy watch 176.007 from the early 1970s. The cushion shaped 38mm case has retro styling but the balanced colour choice for the dial and hand set makes for a very wearable replica watch.

Behind the dial is the Omega 1040 movement, a variant of the Omega Seamaster Automatic Chronograph replica watch geeks favourite, the Lemania 1340. On this version, Omega has added a 24hr indicator within the running seconds dial. The real feature of the 1340 is the ‘Oh so legible’ chronograph minute hand, joining the seconds in the centre of the dial and differentiated by the distinctive coloured cross-tip.

Rising production costs and the arrival of new materials in the simpler Lemania 5100 saw the 1340 mothballed, only for it to return (again in modified form) in the Breguet Type XXI. Unlike the Omega calibre 1040 Breguet chose to place the 24hr indicator separately at 3 o’clock and move the date aperture to 6 instead.

Technical details aside, the sunburst blue dial with white hands and red accents produces a good-looking replica Omega Seamaster 176.007 watch that would grace any collection.
