Vintage UK Best Quality Replica Omega Watches With Stories

John F. Kennedy’s UK Perfect Replica Omega Slimline OT3980

We begin with a watch that belonged to former President John F. Kennedy. Grant Stockdale (a supporter, friend, and later US ambassador to Ireland) gifted it to him in 1960, when Kennedy was still a senator. The back boldly predicted Kennedy becoming the 35th president of the United States with an engraving. Fittingly, the high quality replica watches were on Kennedy’s wrist during his inauguration on January 20th, 1961. Four months later (on May 25, 1961), addressing Congress, President Kennedy declared: “I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth.”

He echoed this sentiment in front of 40,000 people during his famous “We choose to go to the Moon” speech, which he delivered on September 12th, 1962, at Rice University in Houston, Texas. This was not exactly met with the enthusiasm we might imagine today. Regardless of the challenge, Kennedy supported NASA, committing to provide them with the resources necessary to achieve this goal. The rest, as you know, is history. Omega created a faithful reissue of this Swiss made replica watches in 2005 in a limited run of 261 pieces.

Gordon Cooper’s UK Top Copy Omega Seamaster

Before we get to the Speedmasters, I thought I’d highlight something that looked somewhat out of place on the table at first glance. This dressy 34mm luxury fake Omega watches belonged to one Leroy Gordon Cooper Jr. After serving in the US Air Force as a fighter pilot, he graduated to test pilot in 1956 and officially became an astronaut in 1959. Among the many accolades to his name, Cooper was the first American to spend an entire day in space, the last American launched on a solo orbital mission, and the first astronaut to make a second orbital flight. Cooper achieved that last feat during the Gemini 5 mission, in which he and Pete Conrad set a new space endurance record by traveling 3,312,993 miles (5,331,745 km) in 190 hours and 56 minutes.

This nearly eight-day mission proved that astronauts could survive in space long enough to get to the Moon and back. This piece exemplifies the kind of cheap super clone watches that astronauts would wear when not working. Ultimately, Speedmasters were used as tools and only later worn outside missions.
