Omega Replica' Heritage collection has seen success after success. They're also kicking off the new year with a piece that dates back to the 1940s: the Heritage Classic Chronograph 1947.

The new watch is based on a model that was produced in the same timeframe. It features a stainless steel 40mm case with a silvered opaline domed dial, and Arabic numerals that are italicized. The numerals are not simply flat printed, but they have a three-dimensional effect. The outer edge of the dial is made up by the graduated seconds track.

The chronograph consists of an elongated blued seconds hand in the centre and a subdial for totalizing 30 minutes at 9 o’clock. The running seconds are displayed on the sub-dial located at 3 o’clock.

The result is a simple, vintage-style chronograph with no need to be overly impressive.Omega Replica The combination of the white dial with black indexes and numerals, along with the blued hands is what makes this watch stand out.

The watch is aesthetically similar to the late 1940s model, but its self-winding movement (ETA A31.L21) gives it a more modern feel. The watch is a tribute to the 1940s. It has a closed back with the logo of the brand from 1889 engraved. This is the winged hourglass surrounded by "EF Co Omega Replica". EF are the initials for Ernest Francillon who was the man who led Omega Replica since 1852. He's credited as the pioneer that perfected the manufacturing practices at Omega Replica. Ernest Francillon died in 1900 but his impact on Omega Replica and Swiss Watchmaking was undeniable. In 1907, a monument was erected in his honor.

The Heritage Classic Chronograph 1947 is another addition to Omega Replica Heritage collection, and it's certain to be a hit. As a result of recent additions to the Heritage collection, Omega Replica is gradually but surely becoming the platform that continues to win over the most sophisticated of watch collectors. This is all done while maintaining the affordability of the collection's price points.
