Like all the best things in life, (however fleeting that might be) this replica Omega 1528.76 watch memento mori watch doesn’t come cheap at $18,000 but you’ve got to agree that it’s a unique piece with a rich history, and like most things with skulls, just cool. Felix Scholz in Antique, Vintage Thursday, August 19, 2010 at 8:22AM We have never written an article to pan a watch.We just don't see the point in that, we want people to know about the best stuff out there, why waste everyone's time with showing you what you shouldn't be looking at?
This is all about to change as we are writing our very first replica Omega 2901.51.82 watch pan-job piece.Let's preface this by saying this will not become a habit, we don't want to be one of those snobby watch critics that gets off on putting other people down.We came across a watch last night just released at Basel that was just really awful.We shot it out on Twitter and we got a flood of responses, which made us believe it was worthy of a post (even though it goes against our MO to publish something really ugly).Here it is, it comes from Bell & Ross and it is called the BR01-Airborne.
It is sized at 46mm and is made of bead blasted steel with replica Omega 951162.75 watch carbon powder coating.that is all well and good, but then we get to the face.The dial made is black with photo-luminescent hands and skull for optimum night readability.Skull? Yes we said skull.And therein lies the problem.This ridiculous limited edition Bell & Ross features a very large skull right in the middle of the face.It glows at night too, to make it even more childish.The name of the watch is the BR01-Airborne, after the US Military's Airborne unit.Their motto is "Death From Above", and that slogan is the inspiration for this watch.
