The Laser-Etched Crown in Sapphire Replica Rolex CrystalsThis one might be one of the most famous Easter eggs in the entire world of luxury watches. On modern Replica Rolex sapphire crystals, there is a tiny Replica Rolex logo laser-etched directly into the crystal itself, right at the 6 o'clock location. Replica Rolex started etching its sapphire crystals around 2001 as a way to deter counterfeiters, and now every fake watch that the brand produces (with the one exception being the Milgauss with its green-tinted sapphire crystal) is fitted with a laser-etched crystal.
This laser etching can often be difficult to see (particularly if you have a light-colored dial) and it sometimes takes both magnification and just the right lighting to be able to fully make out the coronet insignia. Additionally, it is also worth noting that you may come across some Replica Rolex laser-etched crystals that are service replacement components and have a slightly different etching on them. On these service replacement crystals, you will see a tiny "S?placed inside the base of the coronet, which serves as a way to distinguish them as genuine service replacement crystals.
2. The Omega Logo in Hesalite Speedmaster CrystalsRolex's laser-etched crystals may receive the majority of the attention these days, but Omega has been producing crystals with hidden anti-counterfeit markings since the 1950s. Located directly in the center of Omega's acrylic crystals is a tiny Omega logo. While the vast majority of Omega replica watches now feature sapphire crystals, the classic Speedmaster Moonwatch still features a traditional Hesalite crystal, and if you look directly at the center of one, you will see a small Omega logo right above the hands.
While this unique feature is largely exclusive to the brand's acrylic crystals, there are a small handful of Omega sapphire crystals that also contain this subtle detail. The limited-edition 1957 Trilogy replica watches are intended to be near-exact recreations of their vintage counterparts, but they do feature sapphire crystals instead of acrylic crystals like the inaugural models from the 1950s. However, the domed sapphire crystals on these replica watches contain this subtle detail etched into them as a way to more closely follow the designs of their vintage predecessors.
3. The Two-Color Lume on Omega Seamaster WatchesLuminous technology has come a long way in recent years. Just a few decades ago, the industry was still relying on radioactive materials to make replica watches glow in the dark. However, modern advancements in lume have allowed fake watch manufacturers to make dials and hands with a variety of different colors of lume. Not only can the luminous material itself be a specific color, but it can also be made to emit a different color when it glows in the dark.
Omega has fully embraced different colored luminous material, and all modern Omega dive replica watches from the brand's Seamaster collection now feature two different colors of lume. The minute hand and the zero marker on the bezel insert are finished in green-glowing Super-LumiNova, while the rest of the hands and hour markers receive lume that glows blue. In the daylight, all of the luminous material appears plain white. However, in the dark, the contrast in colors allows users to more easily track elapsed time against the rotating bezel.
4. The Two Different Dials of the Replica Rolex Submariner 116613LBWhen it comes to collecting Replica Rolex watches, it is often rare and unusual dial variations that are responsible for one fake watch being worth multiple times the value of its near-identical counterpart. However, one of the more unusual and short-lived Replica Rolex dials that seldom receive all that much attention from the collecting community is the gloss blue dial that was fitted to early examples of the Replica Rolex Submariner reference 116613LB. Yes, that is correct ?there are two different blue dials for the ref. 116613LB.
When Replica Rolex first updated the blue two-tone Submariner to feature a blue Cerachrom bezel in 2009, the brand originally also updated its blue dial. Rather than having a metallic sunburst finish like before, Replica Rolex initially gave the reference 116613LB a bright blue dial with a flat glossy finish (somewhat similar to the style of dial found inside the white gold version of the watch). The intention was to make the dial better match the bright blue hue of the ceramic bezel, but many collectors lamented the loss of the blue sunburst dial and by 2013, Replica Rolex had discontinued the gloss blue dial and returned to the previous sunburst style for the blue versions of the two-tone Submariner.
5. The Zirconium Oxide Etching on Ceramic Omega DialsIn more recent years, ceramic has started to play an increasing role in Omega's manufacturing process. Ceramic bezels and cases have been options in the brand's catalog for several years now, but one of the more recent developments is the use of ceramic dials. Most often found in select dive replica watches from the Seamaster collection, Omega's ceramic dials feature a small marking to denote that they are made from ceramic. If you look at the center of the dial right below the hands, you will find a small "ZrO2?etching, which stands for zirconium oxide (the type of ceramic that Omega uses for its various components).
Rather than being constructed from a sheet of metal that is then coated with different surface finishing layers that provide it with its color and texture, Omega's ceramic dials feature a sheet of zirconium oxide ceramic that gives the dial its unique aesthetic. Since ceramic is highly scratch-resistant and impervious to the fading effects of UV light, Omega's ceramic dials promise to maintain their aesthetic for the foreseeable future. The dial color is determined by the actual color of the ceramic material itself and on many watches, Omega will laser engrave the surface of the dial to add greater depth and give it a unique and modern appearance.
6. The Glowing Head on the Omega Speedmaster Speedy Tuesday "Ultraman?Omega is no stranger to having a bit of fun with the luminous material that it uses on watches. Even the brand's standard-production dive replica watches feature two different colors of lume, so when Omega released the second Speedy Tuesday edition Speedmaster ?a fake watch that draws inspiration from both a vintage Speedmaster model (nicknamed the Ultraman) and the Japanese 'Ultraman?television show, the brand included a hidden design element that can only be revealed under UV light.
Located inside the running seconds sub-dial at the 9 o'clock location is the silhouette of Ultraman's helmet. Barely visible in the daylight, this hidden feature springs to life when exposed to ultraviolet light and the Ultraman head glows bright orange, rather than green like the rest of the lume used on the hands and hour markers. Omega even includes a little UV light among the various accessories in the box for the Speedy Tuesday Ultraman, so it seems that this hidden Easter egg is one that the brand wanted everyone to find and enjoy.
