Using precious stone as a material for fake watch dials is a relatively new concept in watchmaking, dating back to Piaget’s first range in 1963. Presented in lavish, feminine cases with set gemstones and elaborate bracelets, these slabs of lapis lazuli, opal, malachite, tiger’s eye, and more were an absolutely dazzling display. Before long, one ended up on the wrist of Jackie Kennedy. The trend hit full swing in the 1970s with replica Rolex online getting in on the action, but it mostly petered out in the ‘80s, surviving through some editions of Must de Cartier. Lately the trend has been slowly returning thanks to the likes of meteorite and aventurine’s popularity, so let’s take a look at 2 of the Swiss made replica watches with best stone dials. To make it extra challenging, mother of pearl doesn’t count.
Replica TAG Heuer Carrera Quartz 36mm
It’s debatable whether or not you count mother of pearl as a kind of stone, but it fits the criteria of being an organic material with unpredictable patterning that’s difficult to work with. Here in a rather sporty 36mm case, the mixed hues of white and grey form a gently undulating background for silver hands and markers, plus a trapezoid date window at 3 o’clock. The diamond-set bezel amplifies the wow-factor as you turn the aaa quality replica TAG Heuer UK around on your wrist, as the whole thing plays with the light beautifully. Price: US$4,450
Fake Omega Constellation Aventurine 29mm
Although most aventurine dials used in watchmaking are glass-based, that process is actually inspired by natural aventurine which is a rare form of quartz. Capturing genuine ‘aventurescence’, the best 1:1 replica Omega Constellation Aventurine 29mm is one of the few watch collections to use the natural form. The blue version is incredibly dynamic, with dark bands subtly running through the colouring and a mysterious texture that almost looks like TV static. The high quality fake Omega Constellation styling is perfect for this dial as well, with classical elegance and just the right amount of quirkiness. Price: US$14,800
