Omega Replica Speedmaster Canopus Gold Watch Review

In terms of design
The omega replica Speedmaster Caliber 321 Canopus Gold is a watch that embodies the full element of Swiss watchmaking luxury and function. The case and all other elements of the case body are faithfully reproduced, with dimensions and shape precisely modeled after the CK2915-1 as well as the central case identical to that of the Speedmaster Moonwatch Caliber 321. The case, like the 1957 model, measures 38.6mm in diameter with a height of about 13.9mm and measures 48mm lugs.

Instead of using a synthetic Hesalite crystal, the Speedmaster Caliber 321 Canopus is based on a modern sapphire crystal, which has a more boxy shape and is slightly less curved. Omega has gone to great lengths to recreate the Ω symbol in the center, above the hands of the watch. The watch’s water resistance is rated to 60 meters and the crown, which is identical to the original in shape and design. A classic finish with a combination of meticulously polished and brushed surfaces, this is Omega Replica’s signature element of clean, ultra-precise and solid expression.

Finally, the outer bezel is a key element of the Speedy’s design. The bezel follows the look and feel of the original CK2915-1 when made of metal, with a contrasting black tachymeter scale.

Materials and techniques
As the name suggests, the Omega Speedmaster Caliber 321 Canopus Gold is not a steel watch. The watch case is made of Canopus Gold, a proprietary alloy made of 75% gold, 20% palladium, and 5% rhodium and platinum. Everything follows science, modern materials and high-end manufacturing techniques.

The idea behind this material is the same as when Omega produced Sedna gold, which provides an alloy that is highly resistant to wear and fading thanks to its white color that holds for many years. The case, bezel and band are all made of this Canopus Gold which makes the watch quite heavy, around 200 grams. The watch also relies on a high-end process to generate a numerical scale from engraving and then grand feu enameled for extra durability.

The strap is both modern and historic
One thing that greatly contributes to the appeal of the rolex replica Speedmaster Moonwatch Caliber 321 is the strap. Many call this a “flat link” strap, inspired by the bands used by Omega in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The strap measures 19mm, tapers to 15mm at the pins and eyes. The chain is relatively thin, providing a classic look and modern comfort. This strap can be adjusted in length by using and adjusting the screws to the appropriate width for the wrist.

New in this watch is the presence of a clasp that combines a classic look with a modern touch. Compared to the reissue 105.003, it now comes with a micro-adjustment device, also known as a “comfort release device”. It allows to extend the length of the bracelet a little more than 2mm, a practical thing in the summer. On the other hand, it also means a slightly thicker and longer clasp. But there is nothing to worry about here.

ONYX Dial
The biggest difference of the Omega Speedmaster Caliber 321 Canopus Gold from the 1957 CK2915-1 version is in the dial. The dial design does not completely follow the old dial version to show a new unique beauty. First and foremost, the dial of the Speedmaster Caliber 321 Canopus is not a classic painted or polished dial. The dial is made of some of the most exquisite materials Omega, has a multi-layered construction and is made primarily of high-gloss Onyx.
