Two Of The Best Vintage Swiss Movement Watches For Sale UK

UK Perfect Replica Tag Heuer Carrera Watches

Another watch of the 60s released to capitalise on the growing popularity of motorsports was Heuer’s iconic Carrera. Named after the notoriously dangerous Carrera Panamericana road race of the 50s and the brainchild of maverick CEO Jack Heuer, the original Swiss replica Tag Heuer watches were inspired by modernist architecture and designed for maximum legibility – and would prove to be more famous than another important Heuer motorsports chronograph released in the 1960s, the Autavia wristwatch.

Eschewing an external tachymeter bezel in favour of a more streamlined design, Jack Heuer targeted the Carrera at gentleman racers, positioning it as a watch you could wear from the track to dinner. One of its big innovations was its “tension ring”: an angular ring of steel that held the watch’s crystal in place, improving its water resistance while also providing greater visual depth (a design feature best copy TAG Heuer watches have harkened back to with the modern Carrera Glassbox).

UK High Quality Fake Rolex Daytona Watches

The 1960s would prove to be a prolific decade for Rolex, the Swiss brand launching many luxury fake watches that have since become iconic: the eclectic Cellini King Midas, the now-archetypal Explorer ref. 1016, the buff Sea-Dweller and the even buffer Deep Sea Special, which accompanied the first successful descent to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. However, no cheap super clone Rolex release of the ’60s is as influential or pop culture-relevant as the Cosmograph Daytona, which in the years since has proven to be the Crown’s most coveted model. Developed with motorsports usage in mind, the original ref. 6239 was originally referred to in Rolex marketing as the “Le Mans”, named after the famous French endurance race, with the Daytona moniker sticking in 1965, a reference to Florida’s Daytona International Speedway.
